Colour choices in commercial construction carry real consequences.
Beyond aesthetics, they affect brand recognition, user comfort, and even structural performance over time. These decisions matter from day one, particularly for large-scale installations like shade structures, tensile membranes, and steel roofing systems.
At Greenline, we simplify the process. Our extensive palette of custom colours, engineered fabrics, and durable steel finishes gives you the flexibility to match your vision without compromising on longevity. We'll guide you to choices that work as hard as they look good.
Colour tones influence how much heat a surface absorbs and the level of UV protection it provides. Neutral palettes like grey or beige help structures blend with natural surroundings. Brighter hues make a strong visual statement, particularly in areas that need to stand out.
Material, colour, and finish choices should reflect site conditions, including exposure to strong sunlight or high winds. At Greenline, our fabrics are fortified with specialised protective treatments to withstand these conditions while preserving colour vibrancy.
We deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

At Greenline, we offer an extensive selection of custom colours for both fabric and steel components. The fabric colours available for membrane structures vary depending on the fabric chosen.
For HDPE structures, we use Polyfab’s Architec 400® and Gale Pacific’s Commercial 95® 340 ranges. Both offer a wide spectrum of colours with excellent UV resistance, making them ideal for shade structures that combine function and style.
PVC and PTFE fabric structures have a more limited palette, generally focused on neutral tones.
Our steel structures are finished with durable coatings and a broad range of paint colours. For instance, Colorbond steel is a popular choice for its longevity and versatility, offering options from bold shades to muted tones.
Most projects feature a satin finish, though gloss and matt finishes are also available to suit your design vision.
Sun exposure, wind load, and moisture cycles test every surface, making material specification a crucial consideration for your shade project.
At Greenline, we use only commercial-grade materials engineered for high performance. Our fabrics feature advanced UV-stabilised pigments that resist photodegradation, ensuring colour saturation remains true across years of exposure.
Our steel structures demonstrate equal rigor. We use the highest quality hot-dipped galvanised steel, complete with a wide range of finish options, allowing you to add a protective barrier while expanding your design palette.
Colorbond steel is one example, as it’s renowned for its resilience and aesthetic flexibility. For projects requiring specialised protection, we use Dulux Duralloy Powders and Alphatec Powdercoat, as they provide enhanced durability in chemically aggressive environments.
Each finish option extends your structure's service life while preserving its visual character. Selecting the right one will protect your investment. More importantly, it sustains the design intent that defined your project from the beginning.
Colour has the power to reinforce identity and create a sense of place. For schools, clubs, and organisations, the right palette can echo team colours, complement existing buildings, or communicate values such as professionalism and energy.
A carefully chosen scheme ensures that new structures feel integrated with their surroundings while also supporting the broader image you want to project.
At Greenline, our team works closely with you to select shades that not only meet practical needs but also strengthen the way your community experiences the space.
At Greenline, we make colour and finish selection straightforward. Our team draws on deep experience to recommend combinations that balance design intent with durability, helping you achieve a result that feels considered and complete.
With access to an extensive palette of fabrics and steel finishes, you have the freedom to create a structure that reflects your vision while maintaining the performance standards every project demands.
