Need cover from the rain?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

In this country we are weather obsessed – at Safe Shade we are no different!

Whatever the weather, we have great shade solutions for you.  After today’s constant drizzle I thought it a perfect time to mention our Retractable Umbrellas.

Waterproof as well as protecting from harmful UV rays, our Retractable Umbrellas are the perfect, cost effective solution if your space or budget is a little restrictive!

The umbrellas tilt and also rotate 360 degrees  – so you can track the movement of the sun throughout the day.  Great for protecting little ones or if you don’t want lots of posts.

They are 4m in diameter and come with safety padding as standard.  Have a look at our Retractable Umbrella page to see the colours available or contact us to find out more information.

Ambleside Primary Vote for Shade Sails!

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

 

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.

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.

Get your outdoor space ready for the good weather with Shade Sails!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

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!

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!
