Shade Over the Sandpit

Sandpits left in full sun can get too hot to play in, and children spend long stretches sitting and digging in the one spot. At New England Shade Sails, we design sandpit covers in Tamworth and surrounding areas that shade the sandpit and help keep it cool enough to use.

Each sail is shaped to fit the sandpit and the space around it, using durable materials and galvanised posts. If the rest of the play area also needs shade, our child care facility shade sails service can help with the wider yard.

Frequently Asked Questions

A shade sail over a sandpit shades the sand and helps keep it cool enough to use. It's a popular option for schools, childcare centres, parks and other community spaces where children play.

A sandpit cover can often be fixed to a wall, eave or fascia if it's structurally suitable, reducing the number of posts needed. A site assessment confirms what your site can support.

How long a sandpit cover lasts depends on the material, exposure to weather and how well it's maintained. Quality materials with proper installation generally hold up well over many years.
