Take a proactive approach to health and safety with a professional shade assessment from the team that has been making shade in New Zealand since 1973.

What a shade assessment covers

A shade assessment does two things, and you can ask for either or both.

First, we look over the shade you already have. Sails, structures, canopies and blinds are all assessed from a health and safety point of view, so fabric condition, fixings, posts, and whether each one still covers the area it was put up to cover.

Second, we look at the areas with no shade over them at all, and give you advice and direction on what would work there, how it would be built and what it would take. Playgrounds, courts, sandpits and pick-up areas get used hardest at the hottest part of the day, so that is usually where we start.

Everything we recommend is designed to the space it has to cover, made in New Zealand, and installed by our own team.
