Shade Systems strengthens commitment to Bowls Auckland with Partnership Renewal
9 July 2026

“Strong partnerships help create stronger clubs, and we’re delighted to have Shade Systems NZ continuing alongside us as we invest in the future of bowls across Auckland,” says Dean Bartlett, CEO Bowls Auckland.

Bowls Auckland is proud to announce that Shade Systems NZ has renewed its partnership, reinforcing its commitment to supporting clubs, players and communities throughout the region.

As a proudly New Zealand-owned, family-run business, Shade Systems NZ has earned a reputation as one of the country’s leading providers of premium shade and shelter solutions. Their innovative designs help create safer, more comfortable outdoor spaces that encourage participation and enhance the sporting experience.

Across Auckland, many bowlers already benefit from Shade Systems NZ’s exceptional workmanship through the covered greens at Royal Oak, New Lynn, Remuera and Howick Bowling Clubs. These projects have transformed playing environments, allowing clubs to extend playing opportunities while providing year-round protection from the elements.

Beyond covered greens, the company offers a comprehensive range of shade and shelter solutions, including its Sola Gola and Tensile Membrane structures. These attractive and practical installations provide valuable protection for players, spectators and club facilities alike.

The partnership is built on more than shared branding. Shade Systems NZ shares Bowls Auckland’s commitment to creating welcoming, healthy and vibrant community spaces where people can connect, compete and enjoy the game.

That commitment was evident during the recent Shade Systems NZ Champion of Champions Series, where company representatives were on hand throughout the event supporting players and officials. Their generosity also extended to providing two complimentary barbecues across the weekend, a gesture that was warmly appreciated by competitors, volunteers and supporters and contributed to the fantastic atmosphere.

“Shade Systems NZ has become much more than a sponsor. They are an engaged partner who genuinely believes in our sport and our clubs,” added Bartlett. “We’re incredibly grateful for their continued support and look forward to building on this successful relationship for many years to come.”

Whether it’s a full covered green, spectator shelter or innovative shade solution, Shade Systems NZ continues to help bowling clubs create modern, welcoming environments for their members and communities.
