Newcastle Shade Sails and Awnings

14/08/2026

Our team recently completed this shade sail installation as part of the larger NSW 100 Schools Program, helping create more comfortable and usable outdoor spaces for students and staff.

This project included multiple custom shade sails installed across the outdoor learning and play areas, providing valuable protection from the harsh Australian sun while integrating neatly with the new school environment.

We’re proud to be involved in projects like this and to play our part in improving outdoor spaces across NSW schools.

Out with the old, in with the new!

This playground is looking brighter and better protected with a new 10m x 9m replacement shade sail, manufactured using Rainbow Shade Extreme 32 in Royal Blue.

The old sail had clearly seen better days, so our team replaced it with a fresh, professionally tensioned sail that restores reliable shade coverage over the play area while giving the space a clean new look.

This newly completed shade sail creates a comfortable, protected outdoor area while complementing the property’s modern black exterior.

Made using durable Extreme 32 fabric in black, the sail spans approximately 32 edge metres and is supported by two 150mm posts. Sail track installed along the existing I-beam helps create a clean, streamlined finish against the home.

The result is a practical outdoor space with added shade, improved usability and a design that looks like it belongs.
