Cantilever Shade Structures
Where clear access is critical, cantilever structures are a great solution. We often suggest cantilever structures be used in high vehicle or pedestrian traffic areas.
Curve Hip and Ridge Shade Structures
When covering large areas with greater spans, a curved hip and ridge (igloo) shade structure provides the additional strength required through support braces and cables.
Barrel Vault Curved Rafter Shade Structures
Barrel Vault Curved rafter structures provide can be used in a variety of configurations to provide visually attractive and functional structures.Where footing space is limited for example car parks barrel vault structures can be cantilevered to provide clear entry to the protected area.
Fabric Span Shade Structures
These structures can be used to cover just about any area with either a mesh or waterproof canopy. The system uses cast aluminium fittings to support steel tube allowing for a wide variety of configurations.
Hip and Ridge Shade Structures
This is the simplest shade structure design, with four exterior posts that support hip and ridge beams. The length and width of the structure can be varied to suit the site.
Conical Shade Structures
Conical shade structures are a visually striking way of providing weather protection. The design possibilities are almost endless, with the centre of the cone being supported by a large central post or floating central mast.

The Melbourne Advantage of Shade Structures
Melbourne’s climate can be unforgiving, with hot summers and unpredictable weather. Shade structures offer a multitude of benefits for Melbourne residents, including:
- Sun Protection: Shade structures provide much-needed protection from harmful UV rays, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space comfortably throughout the year. This is especially crucial for protecting children and vulnerable individuals from sun exposure.
- Reduced Temperature: Shade significantly lowers the temperature in covered areas, making outdoor spaces more comfortable during hot summer days. This is ideal for creating cool zones around pools or in your garden.
- Increased Usable Outdoor Space: Shade structures allow you to utilise your outdoor areas year-round, regardless of the weather. You can create a cool and pleasant space for entertaining guests, relaxing, or playing outdoors. Shade structures become permanent outdoor shade structures, extending your usable living space.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Shade structures can add a stylish and contemporary touch to your property, increasing its visual appeal and value. Architectural shade structures or curved shade structures can add a unique design element.
