WATERPROOF SHADERUNNER® SYSTEM TO SUMMERTOWN HOME
01 Dec 2022
Shadeform installed two fully retractable Shaderunner® shade systems to a large deck area of a Summertown home. Looking over the vast landscape of Adelaide Hills, the outdoor area is now able to be used year-round in rain, hail or shine with the help of its high-quality Shaderunner® system.
Set in the rolling Adelaide Hills, Summertown is famed for its fabulous vineyards, apple & cherry orchards and market gardens. The owners of this lovely home enjoy unspoilt views across this stunning landscape, with the elevated outdoor deck providing a fabulous entertaining space.
To provide protection from the elements and maximise use of this space, two fully retractable Shaderunner® shade systems were installed, extending from the house out over the deck and supported by an existing timber framed pergola. Whilst most Shaderunner® systems are made from a durable polyester mesh fabric for shade protection, these two systems were manufactured using waterproof PVC fabric for all-weather protection from both sun and rain. The waterproof PVC fabric features a PVDF lacquer coating on the top side for ease of keeping clean. This lightweight PVC is translucent and offers good light transmittance even on overcast days, whilst providing shade and all-weather protection on demand.
The Shaderunner® is manufactured from a range of rigorously tested fabrics which are as durable as they are stylish, being designed to withstand high traffic applications and the demands of the harsh Australian climate with ease.
The increasingly popular Shaderunner® is a fully retractable shade system, providing controllable shade as and when required. In the warmer months or during hotter times of the day, the Shaderunner® Retractable Shade System can be extended to provide UV protection and welcome shade. In the cooler months, the Shaderunner® can be retracted back to maximise winter sun and solar gains, and by selecting a waterproof fabric these systems can also be deployed for rain protection, enabling year-round use of the deck.
Though available with motorised operation, these two Shaderunners® are controlled manually using an endless draw cord for simplicity of operation. The Shaderunners® glide effortlessly along the wires via a series of ball bearing yachting pulleys, providing a durable and dependable retractable shade solution.
The unique design of the Shaderunner® system enable large areas to be spanned and protected with minimum support structure. A wide range of support systems can be utilised, from an existing or purpose-built pergola, between walls or fascias or on support posts. – and many more.
With the addition of these two Shaderunner® Retractable Shade systems the owners of this beautiful Adelaide Hills home have the benefit of controllable shade and all-weather protection on demand, maximising year-round use of this lovely outdoor area.
The unique qualities of the Shaderunner® enable it to be utilised for a multitude of applications, from the smallest domestic setting, right up to large span commercial projects, such as sports venues, wineries, aquatic parks and hotels.
With distributors available in each state, the Shaderunner® is available throughout Australia.
