Integrations and Accessories for Your Project

Well-placed lighting extends the usability of your space. Artificial lighting is necessary for areas that need to be functional during evening hours or in low-light conditions.

Our design team can create a custom lighting plan and seamlessly integrate lighting solutions into your shade structure. This will ensure your facility has the required lighting without impacting its aesthetics or functionality. The team will also ensure that your facility complies with any specific lighting level requirements, whether for competition, to minimise the impact on your neighbours, or both.

In today’s connected world, reliable internet access is vital. Data points and Wi-Fi integrations allow for smooth device operation, making your space tech-friendly. Whether for educational purposes, events, or day-to-day operations, this integration ensures your outdoor space is as connected as any indoor environment.

Skylights are an excellent option if you are considering a steel roof structure to meet your project needs. They provide natural lighting, reducing the need for artificial lights during the day. Including skylights in a steel roof structure creates a more open, airy feel.

End infills are a solution for filling in the open ends of your structure. They offer additional protection from the elements while maintaining airflow. These features are especially beneficial for areas requiring a balance of light and shelter.

Side skirts offer additional shade and protection from wind and rain, making the space more comfortable and versatile. They effectively add partial sides (typically about a metre) between the columns along the sides of a structure. Side skirts minimise the driving rain that can enter the space. They also maximise the duration of shade coverage throughout the day.

Sustainable and practical rainwater harvesting systems can seamlessly integrate into your shade structure. These systems collect and store rainwater, which can be reused for landscaping, cleaning, or flushing toilets. It’s an environmentally friendly solution that reduces water waste and supports sustainability goals.

Harness the sun's power with solar panel integrations to generate renewable energy. If you choose a skillion or gable steel roof structure, our team can incorporate solar panels into the design. This reduces your carbon footprint and can lead to significant cost savings.

Synthetic turf and acrylic surfacing are essential for sports facilities. These materials provide durable, low-maintenance surfaces that are perfect for a variety of activities. Whether it’s tennis courts, playgrounds, or multi-use sports areas, these surfaces ensure your space is ready for action.

Retractable hoops and scoreboards are critical accessories for sports structures. They equip your facility for competitive play and training, providing an experience comparable to indoor sports arenas. Our design team can neatly integrate these accessories into the structure so you can quickly and easily deploy or conceal them.

Climate control is key to making your outdoor space comfortable year-round. Our team can integrate fans, heating, and cooling systems into your shade structure design. These integrations ensure user comfort, no matter the weather. This is particularly important for frequently used spaces or large gatherings.

Safety is paramount in any structure. Post pads protect the base of structural posts, reducing the risk of injury.

If your project requires a steel roof solution, it can produce a lot of echoes and sound reverberance when in use. This can detract from user experience, so soundproofing or absorbing panels can be a vital addition. These panels reduce noise levels, making the space more enjoyable and functional.

Soundproofing/absorbing panels are particularly useful in educational settings. They ensure that the noise of play in the space doesn’t disrupt learning in adjacent classrooms.
