Combining practicality, safety & aesthetics

A natural extension of the Ellis & Sons Group product range, Shadespan designs and manufactures the highest quality range of shade systems. 

With a range of Hypar, Hip and Cantilever shade sails and structures, Shadespan’s products are backed by Ellis & Sons Group’s extensive experience in the textile industry and excellence in understanding shade protection. 

We are vertically integrated, from the design stage to manufacturing the shade poles and frames, blastings, painting, and manufacturing the shade sails ready for our installation team to install.

LGP Accredited

We are accredited on several government sites, with the LGP (Local Government Procurement) accreditation being the most significant. This accreditation provides councils and government bodies with ease and confidence when ordering, knowing that we are fully certified. It also saves time and money on the tender process.

Combining strength, high UVR block, low-stretch fabrics, fire retardancy and extended product warranties, our shade structures are connected and tensioned to poles or frames using marine-grade 316 stainless steel fittings and cables.
