Architecture

“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”

"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."

"I would like to pass on to Shade Systems my thanks for the professional committed manner in which you have worked with me and the school to deliver a high quality product."

"We had some specific requirements... shelter from rain on the staircases, as well as sun protection for seating under the shades. Matt was very approachable and worked in well with the existing contractors who were on site, to get the shades installed. I would not hesitate to recommend Shade Systems and Manurewa High School would definitely be using them in the future."

"The finished outcome more than exceeded our expectations. Everything was of high quality and what really impressed us was the tremendous work ethic of the workers."

"Shade Systems adhered to our requirements regarding access and time of installation. It was a pleasure working with the Sales Consultants and Technicians and I would definitely recommend the company to other schools.”

"The construction process itself was very well-managed, and as a result the COLA structure just fits so well."

"There are 4 words to describe our outdoor classroom; our amazing canopy. It is truly fabulous! "

"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."

"It has provided us with a much used space where teachers appreciate shade and shelter from the elements. I would have no hesitation in recommending Shade Systems to anyone looking for a quality product."

“Huge thanks for the wonderful ‘Ball Drop’ to celebrate the erection of our second Shade Systems Canopy. There was huge excitement and enjoyment of the ball drop and it was not only a highlight of the year but also in the 53-year history of the school."

"I would definitely recommend Shade Systems to any individual ,company or government organisation. Their service and products are of a high standard and quality well-suited to the Cook Islands."

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

"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."

"Shade Systems were great to work with and created an awesome covered area at Pt Chevalier School."

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

"Shade Systems staff were very professional and all documentation for the projects at our school were provided at completion.”

"What a revelation having the shade installed has been for the school. The kids love it and spend so much time under there on both sunny and rainy days."

"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."

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

"It’s certainly made my job a lot easier because I’m out there every day. It’s been absolutely fantastic – brilliant in the wintertime, but it was also really useful in the summer when it was too hot out on the field."

"We now have community coming in before school and teaching students basketball skills, strengthening our community ties. The covered in area is well utilised during the day and is used for a variety of learning contexts."

"The construction of the structure went very well and the Shade Systems team have been great to work with from concept through to completion”

"The construction went smoothly as the team were very skilled in this area. We would have no hesitation in recommending Shade Systems to any schools or property developers, the children and the community just love it (the COLA)."
