Installation Types
Post to post
Suitable Shaderunner Models
Shaderunner Classic
Shaderunner Pro
When site conditions allow, a simple design, is self supporting posts at either end. For a 2 Wire System, 2 posts are placed at either end. Stainless steel Cross wires span laterally between posts for the control cord. If more than 2 support wires are needed, then a supporting beam can span between the 2 posts at either end to attach the support wires to. Instaco typically require the site to allow access to large excavation machinery. Instaco provide full design, engineering and installation services for all Shaderunner post-to-post installations.
Fascia/Building to post
Suitable Shaderunner Models
Shaderunner Classic
Shaderunner Pro
Many areas that require the shading require fixings attaching to the building or fascia. Custom engineer designed brackets are used for the building fixings, with the sail support wires then spanning over to the self supporting posts. Instaco provide full design, engineering and installation services to ensure the tensioned Shaderunner systems can safely attach to your structures.
Fascia/Building to Fascia/Building
Suitable Shaderunner Models
Shaderunner Classic
Shaderunner Pro
Confined areas are possible to shade, by attaching fixings on either side. Custom engineer designed brackets are used for the building fixings, with the sail support wires then spanning between these on either side. Instaco provide full design, engineering and installation services to ensure the tensioned Shaderunner systems can safely attach to your structures.
Existing frame/pergola
Suitable Shaderunner Models
Shaderunner Classic
Shaderunner Pro
Shaderunner Trax Mono
Where existing steel or timber frames and pergolas are in place, then the Shaderunner can easily be placed either within or under the structure beams. This is a very simple way to upgrade and shade previously unusable areas. Instaco provide full design, engineering and installation services to ensure the tensioned Shaderunner systems can safely attach to your structures.
Self Standing Pergo Frame
Suitable Shaderunner Models
Shaderunner Trax Pergo
Where access is tight and normal bored pier type footings will not be possible, or base fixings are required on decks, balconies or rooftops, then the self standing Aluminium Pergo frame structure is the ideal solution. Able to have various footing designs or fix to existing concrete or beams in some instances, this allows this structure to be installed when others may not be possible. The Trax Pergo is engineered from factory.
