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.

Just as important as the General Election, Ambleside Primary School’s Shade Sail election!
Ambleside Primary School’s children voted for their favourite design and colours for the Shade Sails being installed into their Nottingham playground. The children all coloured in blank Shade Sail design sheets to get involved and put their own stamp on their playground. The final design voted by the children was by ‘DJ Rice and Famous’ and stage one of the installation is now happening.
‘It’s been a good experience and it’s fun to choose ourselves what goes up around the school’ – DJ Rice and Famous of Ambleside Primary School, Nottingham.

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!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/07/programmes global_sunshade/html/1.stm
I stumbled across this great article on the BBC News website and couldn’t help but do a blog…British born astronomer, Roger Angel is a man on a sun shade mission! He thinks that putting a giant shade in space could limit the amount of energy from the Sun reaching Earth. Mr Angel calculated that we would only need to block around 2% of the Sun’s rays to reduce global warming. It would apparently take a shade that is 100,000km wide, perhaps a little big for us, but we like the idea!

A very big ‘THANK YOU!’ to Mrs Hannon and her academy group at Ambleside Primary School, Nottingham. For the last 6 weeks Safe Shade have been extremely lucky enough to be involved with the academy group’s assignment to find suitable outdoor shade for 2 areas in their school playground. The children (aged between 9 and 11) were involved with every aspect of the decision making process; from choosing the best quotation and getting involved with the design process and colours, to writing a letter to the school’s Governors and doing a Shade Sail presentation! The children were all fantastic and a pleasure to work with! Thank you for choosing Safe Shade and letting us be involved with this very exciting project. We look forward to posting all the children’s artwork and feedback, and of course to installing your new Shade Sails!!
