SPAN SHADE KNUCKLE SYSTEM
Build a high performing shade structure without the hard work using THE SPAN SHADE KNUCKLE SYSTEM. Knuckles and Elbows are the basic building blocks to make a Span Shade Structure. Made of tough alloy.
There are 3 knuckle sizes - Standard, Heavy Duty and Mega. Span Shade Structures from 20 to 200sm can be built on four posts. Span Shade can then be linked together using the Double Joiners for longer Span Shades.
Span Shade structures are engineered for the toughest environments from standard W28 wind loads to higher regional and terrain wind loads. Engineering is recommended for all Span Shade systems for compliance to building standards. Span Shade structures perform well in North Queensland where cyclonic conditions test any structure.
To obtain a quote provide the proposed size, height and location and we can recommend the best and most cost effective Span Shade System. You may choose to order just the knuckle system or the complete Span Shade kit with PVC or shadecloth roof and steel tube. Flexibility is key.

The Span Shade System can be used to build Span Shade structures up to 200sm. Knuckles link the overhead apex of the structure. They join rafters to ridge posts. Together with the corner fittings, Elbow the structure can take on rigidity and shape. Building Span Shade Structures is straightforward. Angles, tube sizes and fittings are constant. Engineering is available on all structures.
Build Span Shade structures up to 200sm with Knuckle and Elbow units. Elbows are used in corners and can be purchased alone or with Knuckles. Building Span Shade Structures is simple as there are only a few variables to achieve size and strength needed for each structure. Elbows come in three sizes standard Heavy duty and Mega.
Engineering and advice is available for all structures.
Centre knuckles form the central apex of square or hexagonal Span Shades. These are combined with Span Shade Knuckles as the building blocks of Span Shade Structures.Engineering available.
Spans to 12m on Square or 15m on Hexagonal Span Shades can be achieved using the Mega system. When two or more more structures are linked together you can achieve infinate length possibilities.
Practical, economical and strong.
Multiple Span Shades are linked using Double Joiners.Double Joiners strengthen central postwork bysupporting larger middle posts of the Span Shade. Double joiners link continous Span Shades.
The double joiners come in three sizes - Standard, Heavy Duty and Mega.
Span Shade Structures are extremely rigid in strong weather.
Add extra rigidity to a Span Shade Structure by incorporating Kneebraces. Kneebraces are fixed between post and overhead rafter. Each Kneebrace is pre-drilled and ends are bent and flattened for ease of fixing.
TENSION PLATE SETS. (2)
Tension plates offer a very secure fixing for the fabric roof skin to the framework. Used in both shade cloth and waterproof PVC Span Shade structures.
Two sizes are offered Standard and Heavy Duty. Each set comes complete with tension plates, D toggles, trilobe bolts, nuts and washers.
Anti-vandal guards are a strong deterrant against unauthorised access onto shade structures. Protecting the structure is important in public places where open access exists.
Secured above head height on the upright posts,anti- vandal guards make it near impossible to get a foothold to the top of the structure due to the angle of the prongs.
