Shadeform install Large Sail at Topcon’s SA Head Office
The Shadeform team have designed and installed this huge Sail at the Topcon South Australian headquarters.
The international precision agriculture company required an outside area to entertain Clients at their headquarters. An area to the side of the building was outlined for use as an Al Fresco terrace but required shading from the summer sun.
The solution - a large single sail shade structure - and at 230 square metres she’s a big one!!
The polyester mesh sail was designed and manufactured at the Adelaide factory before being installed over the new barbecue area by the Shadeform team. By creating a protected area to entertain clients, Topcon have created further valuable commercial space from a portion of land that was previously unused. Shadeform have the experience and ability to design, manufacture and project manage your commercial project from inception through to installation.

Corradi All-Weather Retractable Roof
The Shadeform team installs the first Corradi Retractable Roof in South Australia!!
The Clients have undergone an extensive renovation programme at their residence and the Corradi System was the perfect solution for the paved terrace area.

This Corradi Retractable Roof covers an area of 8.5m by 3.8m enabling outside entertaining in all weathers!!
The Corradi All-Weather Retractable Roof is the only retractable system designed from the ground up to resist rain for the ultimate outdoor protection. It utilizes a PVC fabric that is durable and waterproof, and is designed with long lasting awning components to ensure the longest possible life with a minimum of maintenance. The remote controlled motorized system is designed to withstand strong winds, can be installed flat or tilted, and gutters can be installed to collect rain water and channel it to a down pipe.
