Triax Shade Structures

What is the Triax Shade System? 

The Triax system is a series of alumium componentry that allows two crossing pipes to be joined together permanently, without welding, without special tools and without the need to rely on precision critical measurements.

The Triax system solves common design, manufacturing and installation problems often associated with waterproof shade structures. The system is simple to use and gives the architect, builder, designer or installer freedom to deliver bespoke designs according to the needs of the project.

Triax structures can be wall-mounted, roof-mounted or freestanding on posts. The tension of the membrane cover is not transmitted to the mounting points, instead being contained within the frame itself. This means that unlike with traditional membrane covers, the structural integrity of existing buildings is not compromised by the addition of a Triax structure.

The Triax system is so adaptable, difficult site restrictions can be overcome and minor design modifications can be adopted when they occur.
Anything from gutters, drop blinds and heaters to lighting and ventilation can be added to structures with the Triax system. In many cases, wiring can be fully concealed by running it within the structural members themselves.
