Quilpie Pool, serving this remote western Queensland community, needed genuine UV protection for swimmers given the region’s intense outback sun. VECTOR Shade Structures delivered a cantilever engineered mesh shade structure, its sweeping blue canopy spanning the pool deck from single-sided columns to keep the poolside clear and unobstructed.
The canopy is fabricated from Monotec 370 knitted shade fabric, chosen for its excellent airflow and reliable UV protection, while the supporting steelwork is hot dip galvanised for long-term corrosion resistance in this harsh inland climate. This cantilever design is a hallmark of VECTOR’s commercial shade sails work for aquatic facilities across regional Queensland.
The finished structure now gives the Quilpie community a genuinely shaded pool deck, protecting swimmers and families from UV exposure even on the hottest outback days.
