At Diamond Creek Playspace, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children and families was a top priority for Nillumbik Shire Council. Shade ‘n’ Sails was engaged to provide comprehensive shade solutions to ensure the play areas are protected from the sun’s harsh rays, enhancing the usability and comfort of the space.
The project involved two phases of shade sail installations at Diamond Creek Playspace. Initially, Shade ‘n’ Sails installed four shade sails across two areas of the playground during its construction. Later, the council requested the installation of an additional three shade sails over a different area of the playspace, as well as extending coverage in one of the previously shaded areas.
The design of the shade sails was tailored to meet the specific needs of the play areas, considering the size, coverage required, and aesthetic appearance. The shade sails not only provide effective sun protection but also add visual appeal to the playground.
One of the main challenges was ensuring that the shade sails provided adequate coverage while maintaining a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look. This required careful planning and precise installation to achieve the desired result.
For the installation of the additional shade sails the team worked efficiently to complete the installations with minimal impact on the playground’s accessibility and usability.
The fabric selected for the shade sails was Commercial Heavy 430 in the colour Natural. This fabric is known for its durability, UV protection, and ability to withstand various weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for the playground environment. The shade sails were supported by robust steel posts, ensuring stability and longevity.
The project was completed in two phases, with the final phase finished in June 2021. Both installations showcase the team’s ability to deliver high-quality results efficiently.
Nillumbik Shire Council and Ace Landscape Services expressed great satisfaction with the completed shade sail installations. The enhanced coverage has significantly improved the comfort and safety of the playground, allowing children and families to enjoy the space year-round. The additional shade sails have extended the usability of the playground, providing more areas for children to play safely out of direct sunlight.
The positive impact of the shade sails on the community underscores the importance of quality shade solutions in public spaces. The project has received favourable feedback from residents, highlighting the improved comfort and aesthetics of the playground.
