Build Shade House Solutions: What to Know Before You Start Your Project

If you’re looking to build a shade house that’s durable, functional, and made for Australian conditions, you’ve come to the right place. At Peters Glen Shade Houses, we specialise in manufacturing and distributing premium-quality shade houses Australia-wide. Whether you're a home gardener or a commercial grower, building the right structure starts with understanding what you need – and what will last.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key things to know before you decide to build shade house, and how to get the most value from your investment.

Why Build a Shade House?

Shade houses are essential for protecting plants from the extremes of the Australian climate – intense sun, strong winds, and unpredictable weather. When you build shade house, you create a more controlled environment that helps delicate plants thrive, reduces water loss, and extends your growing seasons.

For homeowners, it’s a practical way to maintain a lush, vibrant garden all year round. For growers, it’s a smart way to increase productivity and reduce losses.

Key Considerations Before You Build Shade House

Before you start planning your project, here are the most important factors to consider:

1. Location and Orientation

Choose a spot with good drainage and access to sunlight at different times of the day. Consider the path of the sun and wind, and orient your structure to provide optimal coverage.

2. Purpose and Plant Type

Are you growing vegetables, ornamentals, orchids, or nursery stock? Different plants need different levels of light and airflow. At Peters Glen, we offer various shade cloth densities to suit your needs – from 30% to 90%.

3. Size and Layout

Think about how much growing space you need, now and in the future. Peters Glen Shade Houses are modular and customisable, which means you can easily extend your structure later on as your needs grow.

4. Material and Durability

To withstand the harsh Aussie climate, your structure needs to be strong. All Peters Glen shade houses are constructed with galvanised steel frames and UV-stabilised shade cloth for maximum durability – designed specifically for Australian conditions.
