About this Project
The construction of this new manufacturing facility allowed Shade ‘N’ Sails to expand their base of operations and enhance their client experience with a streamlined showroom and office facilities.
MKM worked with the client to accommodate specialist equipment and machinery which was required for the production of large scale shades.


Their custom-built factory in Ballarat is equipped to produce a range of products, including fabric patterning, cutting and marking of panels on their plotter cutter, HF and wedge welding, sewing, laser cutting of corner clamping plates, steel work design and fabrication and installation.
The Shade ‘N’ Sails team works with fully qualified engineers who specialise in this specific field of Tensile Structures. Their engineers utilise Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Form Finding software.
“Thankyou for everything you have done to build our new manufacturing facility to the highest standard.”
“We couldn’t be more happier with the whole project and dealing with such a professional business plus a personal touch.”
