What we build for schools and childcare
Pick by the space: a whole court, a path between buildings or a corner of the play yard.
COLAs
Covered outdoor learning areas: big shade and roof structures over school courts, assembly areas and quadrangles.

What our customers say
“We recently had A-Z Shades install a cover at our Community Centre, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team did an excellent job in every way.”
“A-Z have done a wonderful job on a shade sail for my rooftop courtyard. Paul and Kazem were reliable and courteous in all our interactions. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
“Kazem, Paul and his team was fast, professional, and the new sail looks fantastic. Great quality and solid installation. Highly recommended!”
