Shade Play the Right Way
The solid roof solution
Shade sails have long been the status quo for playground shade. Solid roof playground shelters however offer a range of benefits over typical shade sails including:
- No harsh sun or heavy rain ingress, keeping play surfaces cool and dry
- No need for periodic removal and reinstallation
- Greater longevity and less maintenance
- More resilient against vandalism, no torn or worn sails
- Less attractive for climbing, keeping the community safe
- Cyclonic rated for Region D environments
- Custom designed architectural feature, not just a shade solution
Better value and safety
While the initial outlay for solid roof shelters is higher, the ongoing maintenance is simply periodic cleaning; no yearly removal and reinstallation costs to foot. And where shade sails have a low life expectancy, Exteria shelters will stand strong 20+ years. Then consider the safety aspect, shade sails present a great opportunity for climbing bouncing ‘fun’ – something a solid roof doesnt encourage or reward.
If you want to lower the life cost of shading playgrounds and keep the community safe; solid roof playground shelters are an attractive option.
