Set in 225 acres on the edge of the world-renowned Barossa Valley, Kingsford The Barossa has a rich heritage dating back to 1856. Over the last decade it has become established as one of Australia’s leading luxury accommodation escapes, and the perfect wedding venue. To further enhance the property, the owners have recently undertaken a significant expansion to include extra accommodation, a large outdoor swimming pool and a stylish alfresco terrace including barbecue area and contemporary bar.
To make best use of the terrace and provide patrons with welcome respite from the harsh summer sun, the owners elected to install a series of three Shaderunner® Retractable Shade Systems positioned side by side. Custom designed to suit the area, each system is 5.5m wide and extends out 9.0m, providing 150sqm of retractable shading – and the result is simply stunning!
The increasingly popular Shaderunner® is a fully retractable shade system, providing controllable shade on demand as and when required. In the warmer months or during hotter times of the day, the Shaderunner® Retractable Shade System can be extended as and when required to provide terrace users with UV protection and welcome shade. In the cooler months, the Shaderunner® can be retracted to maximise winter sun.
Supported by two heavy-duty stainless-steel cables per system, the Shaderunner® Retractable Shade System can span larger areas with minimal support structure, providing an aesthetically appealing and practical solution for commercial spaces. Though available with motorised operation, the Kingsford The Barossa Shaderunners are controlled manually using an endless draw cord for simplicity of operation. The Shaderunners glide effortlessly along the wires via a series of ball bearing yachting pulleys, providing a durable and dependable retractable shade solution.
The Shaderunner® is manufactured from a range of rigorously tested fabrics which are as durable as they are stylish, being designed to withstand high traffic applications and the demands of the harsh Australian climate with ease. At the Kingsford The Barossa, the Shaderunners were manufactured from Outlook 95 percent Polyester Mesh fabric in the colour ‘Chalk’, providing excellent shade and glare reduction with a contemporary look. The Shaderunner® can also be manufactured from waterproof PVC for a weatherproof solution if preferred, requiring side fall to shed water.
The unique qualities of the Shaderunner® enable it to be utilised for a multitude of applications, from the smallest domestic setting right up to large span commercial projects, such as sports venues, wineries, aquatic parks and hotels.
With the addition of these Shaderunner® Retractable Shade systems, this stunning outdoor space has the benefit of controllable shade on demand, providing thermal comfort to patrons, staff and residents of this truly outstanding luxury retreat as and when required.
With distributors available in each state, the Shaderunner® is available throughout Australia.
