EVERYONE NEEDS SHADE!

EVEN THE DOG.

Tensioned fabric gazebo or sala structure by Shades

Who said dogs are stupid? This one soon found the shade!

This fabric sala was purpose-designed by SHADES to provide all-day shade for a dining setting by the pool. Oh yes, and all-day shade for the doggie.

Columns and frame components are mild steel finished with our standard 5-coat marine epoxy paint system – the best possible. Fabric is architectural fabric from Europe featuring a special top coating to assist with self-cleaning of the fabric (in rain) and ease of cleaning by hand. Cleaning is simple – just wipe over with a cloth and water to remove any settled dust.

The structure was designed and built to be pre-wired for lighting and fans, all prior to painting to avoid messy drilling and subsequent rust after installation.

Almost all Shades product is pre-assembed at our Phuket factory and brought to site in finished condition, wrapped, painted, ready to install without the need for on-site cutting, grinding, welding, or painting. Breathe easy – we’re house trained! Your sandwash, garden and pool are in safe hands.
