The Wave Shade retractable shade system is designed to fit the way you use your outdoor space. Suitable for pergolas, decks, and existing outdoor structures, each shade can be customised to your required size, layout, and fabric colour. For larger areas, multiple units can be installed side by side. Your choice of billow creates the look and feel that suits your space.

Before placing your order, we strongly recommend reading the Wave Shade Product Guide to ensure you select the right configuration for your space.

Choose from two manual operation options. The Pole Retraction system uses an aluminium pole to smoothly extend and retract the shade — straightforward and reliable. The Cord Retraction system works like a blind using a stainless steel pulley and braided cord, letting you stop and secure the shade at any position for greater control throughout the day.

Before placing an order, plan and measure your space carefully to ensure a good fit and easy installation.

Accurate measurements can only be taken once all attachment points — eye plates, eye bolts, and poles — are in place. Once fitted, measure point-to-point in millimetres (mm) to place your order.

If unsure, we recommend engaging a local builder or handyman to help.
