Cooler play areas, so children can play outside longer

For much of the year, an open play area in the Kingdom is too hot to use for most of the school day. Slides and climbing frames heat up in direct sun, and rubber flooring holds that heat. A shade is the simplest way to give that time back to the children.

With our playground shades, you get a cooler surface on the equipment and the ground, far less glare, and up to 95% of UV blocked with HDPE fabric. The fabric breathes, so warm air escapes upward instead of building up under the canopy. Children’s skin is more sensitive than ours and they rarely notice when they have had too much sun, which is why we design the shade to cover the places they actually play, not just the middle of the yard.

We also treat your shade as a real structure. Our engineers size the steel and the concrete footings for your site, whether that is open sand in Riyadh and Al Qassim, salty coastal air in Dammam and Jeddah, or the occasional heavy downpour. You get a shade that stays put and stays tight, season after season.

Playground shade options we build for you

School playground shades

We cover your main play yard, assembly area or sports court with large single or multi-span shades. Before we fix a single column, we walk the site with you so posts stay clear of morning lines, play equipment and emergency routes.

Kids play area shades for parks and compounds

Parks and residential compounds often have several play zones. We give each zone its own sail or canopy, sized to the equipment, so your lawns and walkways stay open and the landscape still looks good.

Nursery and kindergarten shades

For sand pits, outdoor classrooms and toddler areas we build smaller, lower structures in soft, cheerful colours. Teachers get a shaded space they can use for lessons as well as play.

Villa garden and rooftop play areas

At home, we fit a compact sail or a single canopy over your swing set, trampoline or splash area, usually in 1–2 days on site, so your family can use the garden in the afternoon too.

Colourful layered sail designs

Overlapping triangle and square sails at different heights in two or three colours give you deep shade and a play area that looks inviting from across the park. Many schools choose their own uniform or logo colours.

Child safety built into your shade from day one

Columns away from the action: we place posts outside the fall zones and run-out areas of slides and swings.
Clear height above the equipment: fabric and steel sit well above the highest platform, so children cannot climb onto the shade.
No low cables or sharp edges: tension points and fittings are kept out of reach.
Breathable fabric: HDPE lets heat escape, so the space under the canopy stays comfortable.
Firm foundations: our concrete footings are sized for the wind load, on open soil or on an existing slab.
A clean handover: we remove all offcuts and fixings and leave the area ready for children the same day we finish.

25+ years of shade engineering in KSA: your playground shade comes from the same team and workshop that builds our car parking shades in Saudi Arabia, with the same steel, footings and quality checks.
Trusted on schools, hospitals and public sites: we are a Saudi Aramco approved vendor (Vendor ID 10114822) and a STAR Verified Contractor. Our projects include Manarat Jeddah School (80 buses), King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital, Prince Sultan Cultural Center in Jeddah and Lina Municipality.
One contact from drawing to handover: we survey, design, fabricate and install, so your school administrator or facility manager deals with one company.
Work planned around your calendar: we agree the installation dates with you and keep children away from the work area.
Help with permits: where your site needs a Balady permit, we prepare the shade drawings and work with a licensed engineering office to file it.

How we deliver your playground shade

You send photos and rough sizes. A few phone photos and the approximate size of the play area on WhatsApp are enough to start.
We visit your site for free. Our engineer measures the area, checks the ground and notes the height of every piece of equipment.

We fabricate in Dammam. Steel is cut, welded and galvanised, and the fabric is patterned in our own workshop.

What you pay for a playground shade

Every play area is different, so we price each project after a free site survey. HDPE is the more economical fabric and PVC costs more, and your written quotation includes installation and shows exactly what is included, with no hidden costs. These are the things that move the price up or down

The area you want shaded and the number of separate play zones
Fabric type (HDPE or PVC) and how many colours you combine
Shape: a single canopy costs less per square metre than layered sails
Column height, which depends on your tallest equipment
Foundation work: open soil, an existing concrete slab, or rubber flooring we cut and repair
Site location and access for cranes or lifting equipment

Larger schools and parks get volume pricing, and we can phase the work across holidays if that suits your budget.

FAQ

Playground Shades: frequently asked questions

For most schools and parks we recommend HDPE knitted fabric. It breathes, so hot air escapes through the weave, it blocks up to 95% of UV, and it keeps the space underneath light and cool. If your area also needs rain cover, such as an outdoor classroom, we suggest PVC-coated fabric, which is waterproof and blocks close to 100% of UV.

Our HDPE fabric blocks up to 95% of UV, and PVC blocks close to 100%. Darker colours usually block slightly more than lighter ones. We show you the fabric data sheet before you order, so you know exactly what you are getting.

Yes, most of our playground projects go over equipment that is already in place. We measure the height and footprint of each piece and put the columns outside the safety zones. If you have rubber flooring, we cut it neatly for the footings and finish the edges after installation.

Yes. You choose from 12 fabric colours and can combine two or three in layered sails. Schools often pick their own colours; parks tend to go for bright reds, yellows and blues.

A villa or small nursery shade usually takes 1–2 days on site. A school playground or park with several zones takes about 2–4 weeks from approval, including around 7 days for the footings to cure. We agree the dates with you in advance so the area can be closed safely during the work.

You get 10 years on the steel structure and 5–10 years on the fabric, depending on the fabric type. If you want us to keep it in top shape, we also offer annual maintenance plans.

Yes. Our crews travel from Dammam to schools, parks and compounds across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Taif and Abha. Send the location on WhatsApp and we will arrange your free survey.
