School Shade Structures

They allowing for year round assembly, play and student movement, and are great when combined with a school Covered Walkway to allow all-weather access from other areas.

  • Complete bird-proofing of School shade structures – children don’t have to worry about bombardment from above!
  • School-compliant design.
  • Asset Building Systems can project manage any school shelter building project
  • We design and build School Shade Structures to all areas of NSW.

COLA Shelter Design & Engineering

Designed with proper engineering to withstand the wind loads and uplift/airflow, our COLA shelters are able to span any area you need.
These solidly-built school metal structures are a better option in many cases than fabric covers, as, unlike the fabric covers, our covers block all the sun’s UV rays from passing through, protecting from the elements and minimizing the risk of skin cancer.


Built with galvanized steel, our COLAs are designed to not need welding on-site, removing the risk of welding flash damage to on-lookers, and also removing the need for regular painting/maintenance on our covered learning areas. These structures will be safe for years to come with our galvanized frames.
