The Castle Hill RSL Playground Shade Structure showcases the versatility of the MakMax Modular Shade Structure range. Based on our Monaco MS120 design, this engineered shade structure has been customised to meet the unique needs of the playground area, with modifications such as increased height, integrated LED lighting, and a specialised gutter and downpipe system.

The Concept

To accommodate the bespoke Rhinoplay playground equipment, the under-canopy clearance was raised to 6.4 metres, providing ample space for safe play.

The steel frame includes integrated cabling, powering LED light strips along the arms of the Monaco structure. When illuminated, the soft, glare-free light reflects off the PVC membrane, creating an inviting ambience under the canopy.

One of the standout features of the Castle Hill RSL Playground Shade Structure is the integration of our Linear Edge system, which allows for perimeter gutters. A customised drainage system channels rainwater to two key points along the gutter, directing it through piping that runs to a central column’s downpipe. This innovative design captures rainwater and reduces runoff, while maintaining the clean, 360-degree open edges around the structure.

The Result

A popular addition to the club’s facilities, the Castle Hill RSL Playground Shade has enhanced the outdoor play space, providing year-round weather protection and a safe, enjoyable environment for children.
