    "Dawn and I commissioned Shade Waikato to erect a large sail for our conference centre. They arrived on time, kept us well informed of progress and stayed within budget. We are really pleased with the design, look and quality of the sail erected. It is a real feature and the area it is in has now become one of the more popular gathering spots at our centre. We would not hesitate in recommending Shades Waikato to any of their potential clients and would be happy to talk about our experience with them.

    Thank you to Shades Waikato for their great service and advice. The sun shades at the kindergarten look great and do a fantastic job at keeping the sun off the children in the hot summer months. We have had so many positive comments about the shades and there are a range of colour options too. We would highly recommend Shades Waikato to other centres.
