Clayton Bay Reserve Playground Shade Sail Structure
At Clayton Bay Reserve Playground, a new shade sail structure was designed and installed to provide comfort and protection for the local community. The design was led by Weathersafe Shades, who then engaged Arkote to deliver a coating solution that would meet the project’s demanding requirements.
With the playground located in an exposed coastal environment, the finish needed to be both highly durable and visually appealing, complementing the modern design while offering long-term protection against the elements.
Arkote's Approach
To meet these requirements, Arkote applied its proven Tuffkote process, finishing the steel components in Charcoal Gloss finish. This approach combined technical precision with an eye for aesthetics, ensuring that the final result was both robust and visually striking.
Benefits of Tuffkote
The completed project at Clayton Bay Reserve Playground demonstrates the strength and versatility of Arkote’s Tuffkote powder coating system. The coating delivers outstanding durability and protection, resisting UV damage, and weathering. Beyond aesthetics, the smooth finish also offers a practical benefit: low maintenance requirements, with minimal cleaning needed to keep the structure looking new.
With Tuffkote the shade sail structure will maintain its integrity and appearance for many years, even in challenging coastal conditions.
