Built for the harsh sun

At Kermit, we design and manufacture shade frames that are built to withstand real everyday use. From blazing summer sun to the wettest storms, our shade frames are designed to stay strong and reliable for years, giving you a space that truly performs.

What Makes Kermit Unique?

Our shade frames are the perfect mix between a traditional shade sail and a modern pergola. Designed for simplicity and durability, our kitsets are easy to assemble and can be attached directly to your home, timber deck or concrete patio or acomcreted into the ground.

All the tension from the shade fabric is evenly distributed around the frame, so there’s no need to angle posts or worry about it pulling out like a typical shade sail. No complicated rafters, braces, or bulky structures, just a precision aluminium frame that holds the fabric tight and flat.

The result is a clean, modern look that’s easy to install, looks great, and is built to last.
