Greenline
SponsoredGreenline builds covered outdoor learning areas, known as COLAs, which are large-span steel structures over school sports courts and eating areas.
The company roofs netball, basketball and tennis courts, bowling greens and swimming pools. Court covers can carry built-in lighting and retractable basketball backboards.
Greenline builds shade sails and canopies for playgrounds, parks and aquatic centres, and shade for shopping centre and airport car parks.
Greenline's fabric roofs use waterproof PVC fabric, PTFE membrane for long-span structures, or HDPE shade cloth, a mesh that lets air through. Most of the membranes come from manufacturers in New Zealand.
Greenline handles a project from planning permits through design and construction under their Consult, Design, Construct method.
Under Greenline's no-variation guarantee, the scope, budget and timeline agreed for a project do not change.
Greenline's online estimator asks for the use, size, site and access of the area to be covered, plus contact details, then gives a low, mid and high cost estimate.
