We're experts at cheating Mother Nature – so that you don’t have to be.

At 0800 Sunshade we have a love-hate relationship with weather.  On one hand we love long hot sunny days, on the other we hate the sunburn, hot sticky skin and the faded furniture.  We love hunkering down on cold stormy days, but we hate to feel cooped in.

That’s why we are obsessed with weather protection - so that we can enjoy the day, no matter what the weather throws at us.  And because we are experts at cheating Mother Nature, you don’t have to be.  You can rely on our wealth of knowledge and vast experience designing, developing and producing superior weather protection structures. 

And because no man (or company) is an island, we are active members of professional industry organisations that support and extend our expertise and knowledge.
