Themed Shade Solution
It’s not just schools and nurseries that benefit from Shade Sails. Increasingly, more and more comercial companies and organisations from different industries are turning their outdoor areas into practable, usable space. Whether after a stylish solution for a smoking shelter or a stunning shade for alfresco dining, Safe Shade can create the ideal solution.
For projects that require something a little different our Custom Shade Sails are perfect. One of our favourite projects we had the pleasure of working on was for Derby City Hospital’s new Children’s Department (project featured in Building for Leisure, Aug 2010).
Working closely with architects, Matthew Montague, our team of design engineers created ‘an imaginative, bespoke solution that provided an inspiring space…’
The final design incorporated UV filtering fabric together with stainless steel support posts and colour changing LED lights.

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.

After the long summer break, it’s time to get back to school!
Hope you’ve all had fun in the holidays? We’ve been busy installing lots of shade sails ready for the new term, so some nice colourful playgrounds to welcome children and staff back!
Fingers crossed we get a little more sunshine before the dark nights and cold weather start to creep back in…if not, there’s always our weatherproof shade sails, so all can enjoy being outside come rain or shine!

Increasingly announced in weather forecasts, the UV Index provides us with an indication of the day’s risk to UV Rays. The UV Index is based on the UV intensity expected when the sun is at its highest point, between 11am – 3pm.
Make sure you know you and your family’s skin types and keep an eye on the UV Index. That way you are prepared and can still enjoy yourself in the sun! Follow our sun safety tips - sun protection cream, hats, sunglasses and of course shade!
- Low risk – no protection is needed.
- Medium risk – take care around midday and do not spend too long in the sun unprotected.
- High risk – cover up and spend time in the shade between 11 and 3. Use least factor 15 sunscreen on exposed skin.
- Very high risk – be sure to cover up and in the shade between 11 and 3. And use at least factor 15 sunscreen.

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.
For further comments from the children and photos please visit our project page.

Spring is finally here…phew. The weather is more pleasant, the days are longer, we all feel a little happier and of course want to spend more time enjoying the great outdoors.
Our Shade Sails provide the perfect shade solution, and are completely bespoke. Shade Sails are a stunning feature in your outdoor space, and allow you to still enjoy being outside without the worry of over exposure to harmful UV rays.
Our design team tailor the Shade Sails to suit both your shade requirements and budget. We have two fabrics, one is showerproof, the other is waterproof – both importantly filter UV rays. Available in a wide range of colours for shade fabric, support posts and safety padding - a great way to brighten up your outdoor space!
