Don’t Sweat It – Create Shade

Summer is on its way, and we all know that means sun. Whether you’re out for a beachside picnic, working a searing shift outside, hosting tourists at your accommodation, or ensuring kids can run around at school without frying, shaded seating areas are non-negotiable for surviving (and thriving) in the hotter months.

These spaces protect against harsh solar radiation and provide a comfortable retreat for spending time with friends and family or in workplaces and schools. Here’s how to embrace the shade.

Cool cover, hot forecast

This year is not just any summer. According to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), we’re staring down one of the hottest seasons on record, thanks to persistently warm oceans cranking up air temperatures. Expect storms, rain, and possibly one of the most active cyclone seasons in recent years, all alongside scorching days. So, shade? It’s going to be a dealbreaker.

Keep your cool

Picnics are an Aussie pastime – think sandwiches, ice-cold drinks, a game of cricket and kids running wild. When the beams start burning, Eco-Trend Sheltered Park Settings are like an oasis in the desert. Not just protection from relentless UV rays, shelters make public spaces more comfortable and accessible, giving everyone a shady spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the day without having to pack up and dash for cover.

A shady break

During summer, mining crews are doing it tough. When your workplace is in one of the hottest, driest parts of the country, shade becomes essential. With the sun beating and temperatures spiking, a retreat to rest and recharge is key for health and productivity. The 3×3 and 6×3 Aluminium Skillion Shelters create shaded break areas that look great and help beat the heat, making it easier to stay focused and get the job done, heat stress-free.

Cool comforts

As you prep your accommodation for the summer rush, don’t forget to factor in shade. Visitors love soaking up the sun but also need a reprieve from the heat. From resorts to cute cabins, communal shaded areas are a game-changer, giving guests a shaded spot to relax and unwind. A BBQ Shelter is the perfect place to escape the sun for a drink or a chat while grilling some fresh local seafood. Elevate your hospitality with a touch of luxury, creating inviting spaces that keep guests coming back.

Sun-safe at school

No matter the season, kids are bursting with energy, and the sun won’t slow them down. It’s vital to provide spaces where they can burn off that supernova energy while staying sun-safe. The Double Bench Shelter seats up to 8, offering a shady spot for a healthy snack or a quick break. From K–12, shaded areas let students enjoy the outdoors without the risk of heat exhaustion or sunburn. And don’t forget staff – give them a covered, comfortable supervision spot.

Get summer ready

Shaded seating areas are essential in a fierce summer. Upgrade your shady outdoor settings for park-goers, mining sites, accommodation spots, or schools. Let’s collaborate and find the best Felton pieces – when the mercury rises, your cool refuges will be ready.
