Custom Designed Shade Structures
At Shadetech in Alice, our custom designed shade structures are manufactured from durable materials. You can choose from quality shade cloth or PVC, which both allow for light to filter through, while offering superior UV protection. Both the structure and the shade panels are available in a variety of colours and can be installed on properties of any size.
There are many benefits to choosing Shadetech in Alice to supply and install your shade structure. We can assist customers with development permits, as well as engineering and building permits where they are required. Our team also offer full customisation and happily make recommendations to ensure you get the most out of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose shade cloth or waterproof PVC for my shade structure?
The best way to determine which material is best is by identifying how you plan to use the shaded area. Shade cloth is not waterproof, so a light to medium shower will allow a light mist through, while water will drip through in a heavier shower. If you are using the sail as a car shade, you can expect to get wet during a downpour.
Entertainment Area
A waterproof PVC structure over a dining area is similar to having a verandah. Water will roll off the PVC during periods of rain, keeping the area below dry. If the conditions are windy and rainy, water may still blow in sideways. Please be aware that it is more expensive to install PVC instead of shade cloth.
Swimming Pools
If you are searching for the right shade for your pool in Alice Springs, we recommend shade cloth. Once in place, shade cloth can reduce evaporation and chemical usage, as well as reduce the amount of leaves you get in the pool. Shade over your pool will also protect you and your family from harmful UV rays. Shadetech in Alice can supply and fit shade sails for pools of all shapes and sizes.
How do I keep my shade sail in good condition?
To extend the life of your sail, it needs to be tight. We recommend checking the tension regularly. All sails are fitted with turnbuckles, which can be easily adjusted to re-tension the sail. Lubricate the turnbuckles every year to ensure they move smoothly.
Keep your shade sail clean with a mild detergent and a brush with soft bristles. Allow the detergent to soak in for a few minutes before rinsing the material clean.
Mould treatments and bleach products will greatly reduce the life of the fabric. Do not use these to clean your sail.
