Quickbuild  Shadehouse 

Our popular Quickbuild Shadehouse are a cost-effective and a simple to build “sleeve-connected” all steel frame design.
The kit include all overhead steel framework, steel poles, exterior bracing poles, shadecloth, cloth clamping systems, brackets, cables, bolts, fasteners & tensioners to complete the building. We supply nationwide and export throughout the Pacific.

Popular with Nurseries, Councils, Lifestylers, Landscapers, Garden Centres, Native tree propagators, Berry Producers, Commercial croppers etc,
We manufacture the Shadehouses in a range of modular sizes from small to many acres. Our design includes easy-assembly connectors for quick and secure construction of the main frame. Only basic tools and skills are needed to erect the building.  Taylor Built by Redpath Shadehouses give owners speedy build times, a professional look and affordability over traditional timber pole+wire designs.

The tall 3 metre roof height provides clearance for farm machinery to be used inside and also allows overhead irrigation systems to give greater coverage when hung from the strong overhead steel structure.
The Quickbuild Shadehouse is supplied standard with knitted commercial grade 40/45% shadecloth fitted to the roof and sides.  But alternative claddings such as 25/30% green or white shadecloth, or Insect netting may also be chosen as an option for the roof or the side walls. 
This design gives you the flexibility to fit different claddings to different sections of the shadehouse.  For example, you may choose to have varying grades of shade fabric on the roof and sides, Or have no side cladding at all.
The proven “Duralock”  Shadecloth fastening clipping system is included with the design to securely fasten the cloth to the buildings frame.
A 5.7m wide walk-in “opening” is included as standard on one of the sidewall or you can add more 5.7m openings as an option if required.
A sliding door may also be fitted into the 5.7m opening(s) – Let us know how many “openings” or “openings with doors” are required when requesting a quote.
Taylor Built by Redpath Quickbuild Shadehouses are designed to work reliably on a typical NZ site nationwide. Their sloping sidewall(s) offering excellent lateral stability and effective wind-deflection.  You can add a high wind brace kit as an optional extra if your site has more wind exposure to help with frame stability/durability.
The flat roof design does make them less suited to high snow or hail-loads, For light or modest loads select the high wind kit option. (Consider the Taylor Built by Redpath design-engineered arch shadehouses for high snow or hail load situations)

We manufacture the shadehouses to order with a lead time of around 30 working days for dispatch. They are supplied in kitset form only, and are typically built buy owners or local building or fencing contractors.
The structure does not include design engineering for council, as they are for semi-permanent or non-permanent use only and are unlikely to endanger people or any other building. The steel poles are usually simply concreted into the ground or a rammed timber pole option is sometimes used.
