Shade Sails & Cantilever Shade Structures – Stratford Childcare
Transforming Outdoor Spaces at Stratford Childcare with Cantilever Shade Structures
At Peninsula Shade Sails, we are passionate about creating outdoor environments that prioritise safety, functionality, and visual appeal. Our latest project at Stratford Childcare exemplifies how thoughtfully designed shade solutions can enhance the quality of outdoor spaces, providing a safe haven for children to play and learn.
Project Overview: Stratford Childcare Shade Solutions
The newly established childcare centre in Stratford presented a unique opportunity to blend practicality with aesthetics. With a focus on creating shaded areas for both structured and unstructured outdoor activities, our team developed a comprehensive solution featuring cantilever shade structures and premium shade sails. These structures ensure the outdoor play areas are protected from harmful UV rays while maintaining an inviting, open-air ambiance.
The Challenge: Balancing Functionality and Design
Stratford Childcare required a shading system that would:
- Deliver effective UV protection across key activity zones, including sandpits and grassed play areas.
- Ensure clear, unobstructed play spaces beneath the shade structures for children’s safety and mobility.
- Complement the modern design of the facility while adhering to strict safety and durability standards.
Our team worked closely with the childcare centre to design and install a solution that met these requirements, enhancing the space’s usability while prioritising child safety.
The Solution: Cantilever Structures and Shade Sails in Harmony
Our installation includes a combination of cantilever shade structures and shade sails, tailored to meet the specific needs of Stratford Childcare.
- Cantilever Shade Structures: Designed for areas such as sandpits, these structures feature cantilevered supports that minimise obstructions. The open design ensures that children can enjoy shaded play without barriers, promoting freedom of movement and safety.
- Shade Sails: Stretching over grassed areas, our durable shade sails provide extensive coverage, creating a cool, comfortable environment for group activities and relaxation.
By integrating these solutions, we ensured that every outdoor zone at the childcare centre received adequate protection, allowing children to explore and engage outdoors in all seasons.
Materials and Features
- Premium Coolshade Fabric: The project utilised Dark Charcoal Coolshade fabric from Ricky Richards, a high-performance material known for its excellent UV protection, long-term durability, and contemporary appearance.
- Structural Steel Framework: The cantilever structures were built using fully welded steel columns and rafters, hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated for superior resistance to rust and weather damage.
- Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Fittings: All cables, wires, and fittings were crafted from marine-grade Stainless steel by Miami Stainless, ensuring robust performance and longevity in outdoor environments.
- Comprehensive Warranties: Both the shade fabric and structural components are covered by a 10-year warranty, reflecting our commitment to quality and reliability.
The Outcome: A Space for Play, Learning, and Safety
The completed installation at Stratford Childcare has transformed its outdoor spaces into vibrant, safe, and functional areas. Key benefits include:
Uninterrupted Shade: Children can enjoy sandpit play and outdoor activities without exposure to harmful UV rays, even during peak sunlight hours.
Enhanced Comfort: By reducing heat and glare, the shaded zones offer a welcoming environment for children, parents, and staff alike.
Aesthetic Appeal: The sleek, modern design of the shade structures integrates seamlessly with the childcare centre’s architecture, adding a stylish touch to the facility.
