Retractable Shaderunners give shade in Penrith
Manufactor is a new precinct in Penrith, Sydney. Utilising an old copper tube factory, Aon Ari Property's aim is to bring back manufacturing to Sydney. The Manufactor is part of a 120,000sqm industrial site and has been transformed to accommodate small manufacturing business. Their aim is to showcase how a product is made to the general public and to provide a space where the community can enjoy the produce by local providers.
Aalta was excited to be a part of this new venture. We installed four Shaderunner Pros® in two of the areas.
The first two Shaderunner Pros® were installed over the outside eating area of the very popular Brisket Boys, providing much needed shade on those hot summer afternoons. The area is a wonderful community hub, with local groups meeting there for delicious food and a great atmosphere. The Shaderunner Pros® were installed onto a steel structure that was made from recycled steel from the site. The two Shaderunners Pros® were installed on a sideways pitch of 4 degrees and overlap each other and along with the waterproof pvc fabric, they provide protection from the rain.
The three different coloured panels of pvc, are made possible through the innovative design from Shadeform using the Shaderunner Pro® model, where each bay of fabric is an individual panel.
The Shaderunner Pros® are 6.375m wide by 14.485m projection each, providing a total of 184 sqm of outdoor dining space, protected from the sun and rain.
At over 14m in length, the robust Vela motors retract and extend the shade sails at the push of a button. With wind sensors installed to ensure the shade sails remain retracted in high winds.
The second two were installed over the Meltor area. One at 6.35m x 10.370 and one at 4.81m x 13.85m.
Head over to Manufactor when you're next planning a day out and enjoy the vibe, great food and exciting concept under the shade of Aalta's Shaderunners.
