19 Aug Shaderunner® – Custom Retractable Shade Systems for Residential and Commercial Use
Adding shade is one of the easiest ways to make outdoor areas and conservatories more inviting. That’s where the Shaderunner® retractable shade system stands out. From a busy restaurant’s alfresco dining area to a poolside patio at home, or a deck exposed to wind and sun, Shaderunner® provides a flexible solution that’s built to perform.
At SunGuard, we offer custom-made Shaderunner® retractable shades for residential and commercial spaces across New Zealand. Inspired by yacht sails and designed with the same marine-grade hardware, the Shaderunner® is naturally built to handle coastal conditions as well as everyday Kiwi weather. Combining sleek architectural style with reliable weather protection, it’s a smart choice for anyone wanting to make the most of their outdoor space.
