    What sets us apart

    ENGINEERED TO ENDURE

    Our structures combine hot-dipped galvanized stainless steel with UV-stabilised fabric designed for Australia's extremes. These high-performance materials maintain structural integrity through sun, wind, and rain exposure year after year.

    SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGN

    Every project is custom-engineered to integrate with your existing infrastructure. We respect sightlines, enhance spatial flow, and deliver shade solutions that feel intentional rather than retrofitted.

    PERFORMANCE-MATCHED SOLUTIONS

    We specify each system for your environment and usage demands. Heavy-duty waterproof structures provide full weather protection, while breathable shade cloth delivers airflow while blocking harmful UV radiation.

    PLAYGROUND PROTECTION

    Our playground structures reduce surface temperatures and block 95%+ UV radiation. They create safer play zones while extending equipment lifespan and protecting your asset investment.

    COMMERCIAL IMPACT

    Our shade solutions make outdoor space genuinely usable. They lower ambient heat, increase patron comfort, and expand your operational footprint, driving foot traffic and dwell time.

    Why enclose when you can expand?

    • A huge thank you and congratulations to the team at Greenline for delivering BIG TIME our outdoor shade shelter. The shelter, which covers one of our outdoor basketball courts, gives our students a chance to play through all weather conditions and looks great. Their post project support has been fantastic with quick follow-ups and service to the school.

    • I have used Greenline for a number of years now as I have always found them to provide excellent customer service, great quality and reliability. Our most recent project was a covered walkway to provide extra shelter for our students. From day one, the walkway was such a big hit, with so many students using it that we actually had to provide extra staff in the area for additional student supervision. Thank you Greenline.
