FAQ
What makes shade ports different from car ports?
Shade ports typically use specialized shade cloth instead of a solid roof. This fabric offers high UV protection while allowing airflow, making it ideal for open-air areas and heat reduction.
How durable is the shade netting?
We use high-quality, UV-stabilized shade cloth designed to withstand South Africa’s intense sun. With proper care, it can last for several years before needing replacement.
Can shade ports be customized in color and shape?
Absolutely. We offer various color options and can design structures in different shapes—such as pyramid, arch, or cantilever—to match your aesthetic preferences.
Are shade ports suitable for large commercial spaces?
Yes. Whether it’s a shopping center parking lot, school playground, or outdoor restaurant area, we can scale the design to accommodate extensive coverage.
How do I clean and maintain the shade netting?
Routine maintenance is minimal—typically, a simple hose-down to remove dust and debris. For tougher stains, mild soap and water usually do the trick.
Will I need permission or permits to install a shade port?
Regulations can vary based on location. We’ll guide you through any relevant municipal or homeowners’ association requirements to ensure a compliant installation.
