Shade solutions for schools, kindergartens and tertiary facilities

At Archgola, we specialise in manufacturing weather and UV-resistant shade canopies, shelters and walkway covers specifically designed for educational environments.

Each outdoor shelter or shade structure we make is individually customised to suit the site, enabling greater utilization of the space being covered.

An Excellent Alternative to Shade Sails

Traditionally, many schools have used shade sails as their means of keeping students UV protected. However, shade sails require greater maintenance and need to be replaced. Archgola's shade solutions for schools are much more Durable than shade sails, with a lifetime warranty on roofing. They also work to create a more pleasant environment, filtering harmful UV rays while maintaining natural light. This is a welcome departure from traditional shade sails which merely aim to block out sunlight. 

Classroom Shades

Dramatically reduce heat and sun-glare during the hot summer months, while keeping the area outside the classroom dry all year round. Importantly, they also prevent the transmission of 99.9% of harmful UV radiation, ensuring that they meet NZ’s “Shady Schools” guidelines.

Walkway Covers

Free-standing or attached walkways provide shelter from the harsh elements, regardless of the season.

Swimming Pool Shade Structures

Custom-built shade structures can be designed for seated areas, or span the entire pool, allowing for better utilization of the covered area and a safer environment all round.
