Cover your walkways in style…

Monday, September 27th, 2010


It’s not just playgrounds that benefit from Shade Structures, they can be used for a number of applications, as illustrated here at Somerset College

Designed, manufactured and installed by our Safe Shade team, this stunning installation at the college adds a stylish edge to their surrounding, while of course offering  a practical, waterproof cover for their footpath.

Waterproof Tension Structures are completely bespoke and work as an ideal solution for walkways, entrances, outdoor eating areas…or perhaps just a striking feature to welcome visitors. 

To find out more about our many shade solutions, please contact one of our team  who are happy to help and look forward to hearing from you.

Ambleside Primary’s Shade Sail project

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Stage 1 of the Shade Sail installation  has commenced at Ambleside Primary School in Nottingham!
‘It’s a really exciting project for all involved as this is the first time (for us) that the children have been given the responsibility to be involved in every stage of the decision process…the children were so hard working and a pleasure to work with’ Safe Shade’s Operations Manager, Dagan Bradbury.

The children really got their teeth into the project and worked really well together. They looked thoroughly into the design, the importance of having shade in their playground and then presented their findings to the school’s board of Governors. 

‘Working with an outside company has been an enjoyable experience and the children will love the sun shades’ comments Louisa a pupil involved in Ambleside Primary School’s Academy project.

Think outside the classroom!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

At Safe Shade we believe the design of an outdoor space is just as important as the inside.  Unfortunately playgrounds are often over looked when it comes to upgrading or even the design of a new school. Having the right equipment in place is key in order to transform the outdoor environment into a more practical, usable space.

Very soon (fingers crossed) the nicer weather will be here, let’s make the most of it!  Think of as many activities/lessons as you can that can be enjoyed outside the classroom.  It adds more to the experience, especially after we’ve all been couped up inside for so long!  And, who cares if it’s raining, with weatherproof Shade Sails for shelter!  Enjoy the outdoors!
