Project management
We manage commercial shade structures from start to finish, from design and engineering through to supply and installation, working closely with builders and project engineers along the way.
How we work
Larger shade projects need careful coordination. We manage every stage so your structure is delivered to brief, on time and built to last.
01
We work with you, your builder and your engineers to understand the site and what the space needs to do.
02
We start with a conceptual design, then develop it into a design solution that meets your brief.
03
Structures are engineered with tension structure specialists to handle wind, rain, hail and heat.
04
We supply commercial-grade materials and install on time, leaving you with shade that looks the part.
Case study · Parkland shade structures
Outdoor shade sails are now an integral part of community life in local parks, gardens and public places. Fashionable Sail Shades was contracted by Living Zone Pty Ltd to supply and install two shade structures in the new White Box Rise Estate.
In consultation with Oasis Tension Structures, we worked closely with the builder and project engineers to meet their brief, starting with conceptual design and progressing to a full design solution, supply and installation.
Carefully configured to provide shade, the structures blend with the landscaped garden, and the space underneath is now used for relaxation and entertainment.
“The sails look quite spectacular.”

Case study · Cool cow shade structures
Excessive heat load over summer can cause significant production losses and animal welfare concerns. High body heat loads develop when local conditions and animal factors exceed a cow's ability to shed heat.
Dairy farmers can influence how severe the heat load on their cows becomes by implementing a range of management strategies, and minimising heat gain through shade should be a priority. Most farmers notice milk production fall when cows get hot, which means substantial losses in milk income.
Shade can have a large impact on the heat load experienced by dairy herds, improving comfort, productivity and profitability by contributing to higher summer milk production. Shade cloth reduces solar radiation and lets cows voluntarily seek shade to off-load heat via evaporation. Because it's porous, heat evaporated from the herd vents straight through.
These structures were designed to maximise ventilation and afternoon shade, keeping wind speeds up in the yard and air temperatures below body temperature where possible.
Talk to us early and we'll help shape the design, budget and timeline.
