Why Lidgard Shades Are Experts at Manufacturing Shade Sails for Schools and Early Learning Centres
Providing safe and effective shade solutions is essential for schools and early learning centres across New Zealand. With over 50 years of experience, Lidgard Shades is the trusted name in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality shade sails for schools. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities ensure durability, safety, and customisation to suit each school’s specific needs.
The Importance of Shade Sails in Schools and Early Learning Centres
New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making sun protection a priority, especially for children. Schools and childcare facilities must provide adequate shade to reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, protect children from heat, and create comfortable outdoor learning environments. Shade sails not only offer protection but also enhance outdoor areas, making them more functional throughout the year.
Lidgard Shades specialises in shade sails for schools, ensuring that play areas, sports courts, and outdoor classrooms remain safe and comfortable, even during peak summer months. Our shade solutions also provide protection from light rain and wind, allowing students to enjoy outdoor activities with less disruption from the weather.
Lidgard’s Expertise: 50+ Years of Experience and In-House Manufacturing
Lidgard Shades has been at the forefront of New Zealand’s shade sail industry for over five decades. We design and manufacture all our shade sails in-house. This allows us to maintain strict quality control, ensuring that every shade sail meets the highest standards of durability and performance.
Our team of experts uses premium materials such as high-strength PVC and UV-resistant fabrics to create shade solutions that withstand New Zealand’s harsh climate. Our shade sails are engineered to ensure longevity and reliability for schools and early learning centres.
A Tailored Approach to Every Project
No two schools are the same, which is why we take a customised approach to every project. We work closely with educators, administrators, and property managers to design shade solutions that best suit each school’s unique requirements. We consider factors such as shade placement to maximise coverage and sun protection, while prioritising compliance and safety, ensuring all installations meet New Zealand’s building and safety standards.
Scott Point School’s Shade Sail Installation
A recent project at Scott Point School in Auckland demonstrates why Lidgard Shades is the leader in manufacturing and installing shade sails for schools. The school needed a robust shade solution for its outdoor lunch area, that was not only high quality but also fit within the school’s budget.
The result was a highly effective and visually appealing shade structure that now allows students to enjoy their lunch outside while being protected from the sun. This installation is just one of many examples of how Lidgard Shades delivers high-quality shade solutions tailored to educational environments.
