- Bowling green covers

- Futsal pitches

Schools & Sports Clubs
MakMax Australia has worked with a number of small sporting clubs and associations to provide shade and shelter for athletes and spectators.
Our small spectator stand covers are strong, lightweight and reasonably economical when compared to traditional buildings.
MakMax Velarium: Variable Shade System
NEW PRODUCT: The MakMax Velarium is a variable shade system.
The MakMax Velarium variable shade system is created using opposing sets of PVC mesh panels supported by a cable span steel structure. At the push of a button, the shade panels close from the outside to the centre. Able to be closed all at once, or in various sequences, the amount of shade and shaded areas can be controlled.
The MakMax Velarium variable shade system is an adaptable system that would suit any application requiring large span column-free variable shade. The Velarium variable shade system is also suited to grass sporting facilities where a full canopy would not allow enough sunlight to filter to the playing surface.
Perfectly suited for swimming pools, where some sunlight is still welcome, The MakMax Velarium variable shade system was first installed at St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School in Brisbane.
