Shade Structures That Cut Heat, Not Airflow
A shadeport is a steel-framed structure covered in UV-stabilised shade cloth rather than a solid roof. It shelters vehicles, patios and play areas while letting air move freely underneath. Pronet has manufactured and installed shadeports across Gauteng since 1989.
Built by one company since 1989, not resold by a broker.
Established mid-1989
Pronet has manufactured and installed shade and carport structures across Gauteng for over three and a half decades.
Workmanship warranty
Every shadeport is backed by a 3-year warranty on the frame, cabling, stitching and the installation itself.
Shade factor available
UV-stabilised shade cloth blocks up to 95% of UV, depending on the density you choose, while still allowing air to circulate.
Design types, custom sized
Standard 4-pole, cantilever, semi-cantilever, wall-mounted, dome, butterfly, back-to-back and custom colour options.
Eight shadeport designs, one steel-frame standard.
Every design below uses the same galvanised steel frame and UV-stabilised shade cloth. What changes is the post layout and roof profile, so pick the shape that suits your site and budget.
Standard 4-Pole
A support post at each corner. The simplest, most cost-effective shadeport structure, suited to open sites with no space constraints around the posts.
View standard 4-pole shadeports
Cantilever 2-Pole
Support posts on one side only. Keeps the parking or patio area completely free of poles, ideal for narrow driveways and tight turning space.

Semi-Cantilever
A single rear post per bay with a cantilevered front edge. Balances open front access with a lighter, more affordable frame than a full cantilever.

Wall-Mounted
Fixed to an existing wall on one side, removing the posts on that edge entirely. Suits boundary walls and properties tight on space.

Dome / Barrel
A curved barrel-profile roof that spreads wind load evenly across the frame, giving a softer architectural line than a flat or pitched design.

Butterfly / Pyramid Commercial
Tensioned shade sail geometry rigged in a butterfly or pyramid layout. Built for shopping centres, schools and public gathering areas.

Shadeport questions, answered directly.
What is a shadeport?
A shadeport is a steel-framed structure covered in UV-stabilised shade cloth rather than a solid roof. It shelters vehicles, patios or play areas while letting air circulate underneath, which reduces heat build-up compared with a solid roof.
What is the difference between a cantilever and a standard 4-pole shadeport?
A standard 4-pole shadeport has a support post at each corner. A cantilever shadeport supports the roof from one side only, using two posts, leaving the covered area free of poles. Cantilever designs suit narrow driveways or spaces where posts would obstruct parking.
What shade factor do Pronet shadeports provide?
Pronet's shade cloth blocks up to 95% of UV, depending on the density selected, which significantly reduces heat and UV exposure underneath the structure compared with being left in the open.
Can a shadeport be mounted against a wall?
Yes. A wall-mounted shadeport fixes to an existing wall on one side, similar to an attached carport, which removes the need for posts on that edge. See our wall-mounted shadeports page for the specifics.
What colours are available for shade netting?
Pronet offers a standard shade net colour range on every design, plus non-standard colours on request. See our shade net colours page for the full range.
What warranty does Pronet offer on a shadeport?
The UV-stabilised shade cloth carries an 8-year warranty with a 10 to 12 year expected lifespan. The frame, cabling, stitching and workmanship are backed by a 3-year warranty. Pronet's workmanship is approved by most insurance companies, architects and engineers.
