Burt Grabe

"Working with Cuen and his team from ShadeCraft was a very pleasant experience. They were extremely professional, punctual and made sure that I was kept abreast of developments in preparation of the final installation. I will most certainly not hesitate to recommend their services."

"We really needed a shade port before winter as my wife is pregnant. The entire process took about a week between ordering and installation, and everyone I encountered was very professional. I'd definitely make use of Shade Craft again."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the difference between a shade sail and a shade port?

A shade sail is a fabric tension structure, usually suspended between existing walls or poles. It's ideal for patios, pools, gardens, or entertainment areas where you want stylish, flexible shade. A shade port, on the other hand, has a galvanised steel frame and a more rigid structure. It's specifically designed to protect vehicles from sun, rain, and UV damage—making it the go-to choice for driveways, parking bays, or commercial spaces.

Do you work in all areas of Cape Town?

Yes, we install shade sails and ports across Cape Town and surrounding areas, including Somerset West, Strand, Stellenbosch, Helderberg, and Gordons Bay.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations are completed within 1–2 days. Bigger or custom projects may take slightly longer, depending on design and site prep.

Are your materials built to handle Cape Town's wind?

Absolutely. We design each structure with wind direction and exposure in mind, and offer structural upgrades for high-wind areas.

Do you offer guarantees or warranties?

Yes! Our structures carry a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, and our shade netting comes with a 10-year UV protection guarantee.

Can I get a quote before committing?

Definitely. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and site visits to ensure your design fits both your needs and your space.

What colours can I choose from?

Popular options include black, grey, tan, brown, white and many more. Just let us know what matches your space best.

Do you manufacture the parts yourselves?

Yes, we manufacture our own components locally. Our frames are hot-dip galvanised for extra durability.

How do I maintain my shade structure?

Minimal effort needed – a light rinse every few months is usually enough. Fabric may need replacement after years of heavy exposure.

Are your services owner-managed?

Yes, you'll deal directly with the owner throughout the process – no call centres or handovers. We pride ourselves on personal, professional service.
