Igloo Structures are perfect for large shade requirements
Unlike the shade sail which has high and low points, the Igloo has a consistent height on all sides of the canopy to provide consistent shade throughout the day and various seasons. The Igloo shade structure is not only solid and difficult to climb on, but attractive AND delivers the most effective shade. This provides a safe, child friendly area for playing outdoors protected from Australia’s harsh conditions.
This Igloo Shade Structure is made from galvanised steel and/or powder coated steel with the option of either a shade cloth or PVC roof (for waterproof structures).

FAQs
This really comes down to your local council rules, the total size of the sail, and how close it sits to your boundary fence. You won't have to guess, though. We assess your site upfront, handle the engineering specs, and make sure everything goes up safely and strictly to code.
It completely depends on how you want to use the space. To block the harsh summer sun while keeping the area cool and breezy, high-density commercial mesh is the way to go. Need to keep a patio or outdoor dining area dry all winter? We use architectural-grade waterproof PVC, pitched perfectly so water never pools.
Melbourne weather doesn't mess around, so neither do we. Everything is built to handle local conditions for the long haul. We combine heavy-duty commercial fabrics with marine-grade stainless steel fittings and robust structural steel posts, so the sail stays taut, secure, and built to last.
We don't sell off-the-shelf kits, so we don't use off-the-shelf pricing. Every property has different wind loads, anchor points, and dimensions. We will come out to your site, take exact measurements, and give you a fixed, upfront quote based on the actual engineering your space needs.
