"We meet on a regular basis throughout our project and they were always providing updates and work progression. The structure they have built at our school is fantastic and it's a big attraction from our community."

"Once this (Court Canopy) was built, Crossfit wanted one as well."

"We are very pleased with the service and product that Shade Systems has provided for our school. A lot of effort was put into designing the best cover for us and the installation was efficient, sound and effective."

"As you can see it's (the COLA) going to be fully utilised in the summer and the winter."

"From the initial concept and client brief to the ongoing development of this product we have found Shade System excellent to deal with."

"We happily recommend Shade Systems as an innovative and progressive company to work with, who understood our requirements from the outset and delivered exactly as their proposal, on time and as per quotation."

“I think it’s fantastic, it offers so many more opportunities for our centre. It looks great, we are loving it.’’

"Our cloud looks AWESOME. A stunning achievement by your firm. Your team has been brilliant and made the installation for our school so easy. Thank you."

"I cannot recommend Shade Systems highly enough. They are lovely to work with, know their product, they won both the tenders so they are very competitive and have provided us with exactly what we needed."

“Putting in NZ’s first and only crochet net by Japanese Artist Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam meant we were faced with a challenge on how to create an attractive and efficient shade system. Shade Systems ideas and flexibility, were just what we needed to make this an outstanding feature in our Urban landscape”

"On behalf of St Dominic's I would like to say thank you for all the work you put in getting the sunshade up for us. It has been great seeing it up for summer. You were both (Luke and Tyron) very patient at every step."

"I would strongly recommend the COLA canopy and I think that Shade Systems gave us excellent advice! I would listen to everything they say and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them!"

"Shade Systems a company no problem to have working on a very busy college site. The senior staff and construction staff bend over backwards to make the least impact on the daily running of the College.
The finished product a canopy over a multi turf sports surface has been in full daily use since completion."

"The new large canopy supplied by Shade Systems provides a shaded/dry outdoor space for students in all weather... Working with Shade Systems team during construction was a pleasure as they understood the demands of the school system and worked with us to minimise disruption."

"Shade Systems looked after the entire process seamlessly, from giving us photos of what it would look like so the Board could approve it, dealing with Council for consents and then getting on and building it. It was completed pretty quickly and painlessly and we love the new structure."

"We have always been completely satisfied with their work and have always found their ideas innovative and their advice trustworthy."

"Just wanted to touch base and say how great the sails look. Was at school this evening so had a chance to check them out and from every angle they are fabulous and just in time for the hot weather we are having, so thanks for pushing that along before originally expected. Was a pleasure dealing with you during the initial consultation, so thank you for all your time and effort."

"I have always found Shade Systems personnel to be accommodating and professional in all dealings I have had with them. I am sure we will be utilising their services sometime again in the future."

"The quality of workmanship is second to none, their attention to detail and the care that they take in what they do is fantastic! We are very proud of our new canopy and have had much positive feedback from staff and community."

I would not hesitate to recommend Shade Systems and Manurewa High School would definitely be using them in the future."
