For architects, schools, and councils, we understand the importance of creating safe outdoor environments for children and parents. Playground shade plays a crucial role in protecting children and adults from harmful Ultraviolet (UV) rays. Therefore, we recommend that all outdoor playgrounds should have playground shade sails installed as a mandatory requirement.
When it comes to playground shade sails, they offer a dual benefit of providing a cooler climate over the playground while filtering out harmful UV radiation. It is imperative to create an environment that promotes outdoor play while ensuring the safety and well-being of children. Shade sails provide a practical solution to this need.
At Rainbow Shade, we offer a range of shade fabrics that provide up to 99% UV block, ensuring high protection for children and adults. Our fabrics have been tested and proven to filter out harmful UV radiation and keep the playground cool, creating a comfortable and safe outdoor environment for children to play in.
Our shade fabrics come in an extensive range of designer colours, ensuring that you can find the perfect colour to match your playground, school or park. Our bright colours can liven up your playground, while our natural colours can blend the shade sail into the environment. You can choose from our Z16, DriZ, Extreme 32 or Serge Ferrari PVC depending on the size of your playground or if you want to waterproof your shade sail.
Shade sails are a cost-effective and stylish way to provide sun protection in outdoor environments such as playgrounds, seating areas, picnic spots, and outdoor classrooms. Whether installed at schools, local parks, or recreational facilities, they help create welcoming, shaded zones that are both functional and visually appealing. Using premium-grade fabrics like Z16 and Extreme 32, our shade sails offer excellent UV protection, vibrant colour choices, and dependable durability—perfect for all-day comfort in busy public spaces.
For larger spaces or high-traffic areas, shade structures deliver a more robust and long-term shading solution. Commonly used in assembly zones, covered eating areas, or community gathering spaces, these structures are built to last. They feature heavy-duty materials such as Extreme 32 and Serge Ferrari PVC, combining structural strength with modern aesthetics. Ideal for both school campuses and public recreational sites, shade structures provide year-round protection from the elements while enhancing the usability of outdoor areas.
Choosing the right materials is essential when it comes to covered outdoor learning areas (COLAs), basketball courts, or multi-use sports facilities. Our large-scale shade solutions use high-performance fabrics like Serge Ferrari PVC known for their outstanding durability, UV resistance, and waterproof capabilities. These installations are designed to stand up to all weather conditions, ensuring that schools, councils, and communities can offer safe, shaded spaces for physical activity and events throughout the year.
