Government & Council Shade Sails

Government & council shade sails & commercial shade structures add good looks and protection for beaches, waterside reserves, play grounds and outdoor sports venues

Visit our Projects page to view the versatility of Apex Shade Structures  in providing attractive solutions and a safer environment for the public for various settings. Government & council shade sails are a specialty service we offer.

SHADE PROTECTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR BEACHES, FORESHORE AND WATERSIDE RESERVES AND RECREATION AREAS

Beaches, along with rivers and inland lakes play an integral part in our relaxed lifestyle and are popular places of leisure, sport, recreation and socialising for many Australians.

However, beachgoers risk considerable exposure to dangerous UV radiation because:

• these areas are mostly used in summer when UV radiation levels are at their highest
• people typically wear minimal clothing for extended periods of time, and
• there is usually very little shade on the beach itself and often shade on adjacent reserves is insufficient.

SHADE STRUCTURES FOR PARKS AND RESERVES

Similarly, we all love a BBQ in the park, Apex Shade Structures  have completed numerous projects in council parks and reserves, see our Projects page for images.

Parks and reserves are used by people of all ages throughout the year with heaviest usage often coinciding with the summer months and during the middle of the day when levels of UV radiation are at their highest.

Apex Shade Structures  will design, manufacture and install suitable commercial shade structures which contribute to a safer environment for the public.

SHADE SAILS FOR PLAYGROUNDS

 Visit our School and Childcare  page for full details on the shade protection our structures can provide for areas used by children and young people.  Councils can provide the same level of protection in public parks and children’s play areas as that provided in schools and childcare centres.

Apex Shade Structures  know that by providing sun protection at playgrounds, we can make a significant contribution to the prevention of skin cancer because:

• children and parents use playgrounds throughout the year
• heaviest usage generally occurs during the summer months, particularly during holidays and during the middle of the day when UV radiation levels are high, and importantly
• the sun exposure children receive while they are young increases their risk of developing skin cancer as adults.

An Apex Shade Structure  will enable parents to encourage a healthy and active outdoors lifestyle whilst protecting young skin from the harsh Australian sun.

SHADE SAILS FOR PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS, SPORTS GROUNDS AND FACILITIES

Australians love to swim, whether it’s at the beach, the local river or lake, or in a Council owned swimming centre.  The local swimming pool is also a safe and convenient meeting place for socialising with family and friends.

An outdoor swimming pool however poses a high risk of exposure to harmful UV radiation because they are generally used in the hotter months of the year and pool users usually wear minimal clothing, and in a lot of cases, there are not a lot of shady areas.

Not only will an Apex Shade Structure  provide the much-needed shade and refuge from the harsh sun, a swimming pool shade will slow evaporation and minimise chemical and water loss.  This provides a tangible benefit to your operating costs.

A lot of our weekend time is taken up with children’s sports and again, the harsh sun can be very detrimental to our own and our kids long term health.  By erecting a pool shade or sports ground shade by Apex Shade Structures  your venue will be a much more enjoyable community environment.
