COMMERCIAL SWIMMING POOLS

Commercial Swimming Pool Shade Structures and Roofs

Swimming pools are essential to commercial settings like aquatic centres, hotels, and sports complexes. They offer patrons recreation, fitness, and relaxation.

However, outdoor pools face challenges from sun exposure, extreme weather events, and the need for year-round usability. This is where commercial swimming pool shade structures come in. These structures provide essential protection and comfort for swimmers, increasing patronage and the bottom line for facility owners.

Why You Need Shade for Commercial Pools

UV protection is crucial for outdoor activities in Australia. Shade structures over sports courts protect from harmful UV rays, keeping athletes and spectators safer during games. These structures shield players from rain, making sports possible even in adverse weather conditions. Shaded courts extend the usability of outdoor sports facilities.

Schools, local councils, and community sports facilities increasingly recognise the benefits of shade structures for netball and basketball courts. These covered courts are now common in schools, parks, and recreational centres. They are integral to maintaining outdoor sports programs throughout the year. Many covered basketball courts in educational settings also serve as covered outdoor learning areas.

Benefits of Commercial Pool Shade Structures

The most important benefit of installing shade structures is to protect pool users from harmful UV rays. Offering shade solutions improves visitor satisfaction, making your aquatic centre a safer, more attractive destination.

Covering your pool with a roof or shade structure can extend its usability throughout the year. Rain, intense sun, or wind will no longer restrict access. Extending the number of days your facility operates is essential for year-round commercial facilities.

Shade structures create a visually appealing environment. Whether a sleek aquatic centre shade structure or a dynamic shade sail, these features add style while boosting users' comfort.

Commercial-grade shade structures and roofs are built to last. Designed to withstand weather elements, they often require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective investment for pool owners.

Installing a covered swimming pool can reduce evaporation and help manage pool temperatures. This leads to more efficient energy use, savings on water and heating costs, and reduced frequency of water treatment.

Types of Pool Shade Structures

Several popular options are available for shade solutions for commercial swimming pools. Each has its benefits, depending on the facility's needs.

Our design team can assist you in making the best choices for your needs. The resulting design will integrate seamlessly with the architecture of your commercial aquatic centres.

Shade sails are a popular choice for commercial pools because they are versatile and cost-effective. They offer broad coverage and can be custom-designed to fit the pool’s layout. 

These are ideal for providing shade solutions around pool areas and amenities. They feature support posts on just one side and are perfect for seating areas. They provide spectators, parents, and lifeguards with shade and unobstructed views.

An outdoor aquatic centre roof can transform your facility into a covered swimming pool, allowing year-round use. It protects swimmers from sun, rain, and wind and also contributes to lower water evaporation rates. This helps maintain pool temperatures and reduce the frequency of water treatment.

Tensile membrane structures are perfect for large-scale pools and offer expansive coverage with sleek, modern designs. Depending on the fabric chosen, they provide various levels of weather protection. HDPE (or shade cloth) will provide shade and UV protection only, and its mesh form will allow airflow through the membrane. Our design team can specify other tensile fabrics to provide waterproof cover and varying levels of light transmission.

Choosing the Right Shade Structure for Your Pool

Permanent roof structures are the best solution for large pools or aquatic centres. These fabric and steel roof structures provide substantial coverage and long-term durability. Smaller facilities might benefit more from commercial shade sails or cantilever structures.
