Commercial Shade Sails works with schools, TAFES, private colleges and universities to create safe spaces for students to learn, play and grow. We are specialists in shade solutions for the education sector and committed to sun safety for young people.
In Australia, we have the highest incidence worldwide of skin cancers, including deadly melanomas.
According to the Cancer Council of Australia, “approximately two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70, with more than 750,000 people treated for one or more non-melanoma skin cancers in Australia each year. … In 2013, 12,744 Australians were diagnosed with melanoma.” Sun sense starts early with a Commercial Shade Sail in your educational facility.
