The Racha, on the island of Koh Racha off Phuket’s southern coast, asked Shades to adorn their new Club Del Mar with a pure white tensioned fabric awning to blend with the superb Mediterranean architecture of the setting.
We chose German-made Verseidag architectural PVC tensioned to timber columns, with all back stays and other required fittings in marine grade stainless steel.

Our client frequently travels to Europe, leaving his swimming pool in Phuket a leaf trap requiring way too much work to clean each time on his return.
Solution: ask SHADES of course.
Our shade cloth cover works perfectly – simple and fast to install and remove, keeps out the leaves, and as a bonus, reduces overall maintenance and chemical usage while the owner is absent.
