Coolum Shade Sails Offer Smart Shade Solutions

Sometimes shade is needed above an area but the posts of a traditional hip shade would make it impossible to install. A great solution to these scenarios is to utilise cantilever style shades. With posts at the rear of the shade structure, shading areas such as walkways, bus stop seating and carports are easily achievable.

We offer a range of cantilevered products to suit all locations and budgets. For example, a cantilever shade structure that features a single post is almost the same as a double post cantilever and offers the same functionality with reduced steel post usage and easier access for shade structure covered parking. The key difference between the single post and double post cantilever is the cost, being that the single post cantilever fabric canopy requires larger steel and more labour.

Ideal for Playgrounds

Cantilevered shade structures are perfect for playground and other outdoor use areas. Cantilevered models have the advantage of stretching over an entire area, but the posts are located on one side, placed well out of reach. These sun shades protect children’s health from the damage caused by overexposure to the sun’s rays, and they provide areas of cool shade. They’re designed to industrial strength and engineered to withstand winds of 125kph with fabric installed (the steel structure alone is rated to withstand 240kph winds). They also offer an easy quick release system for removing the fabric for winter storage. With the sun growing stronger year-round, consider one of these professional shade structures for your protection needs.
