Aircraft sunshades

Protect key assets from the elements

Rubb’s EFASS aircraft hangar has been adapted into a functional aircraft sunshade to protect vital aircraft and crews from searing temperatures and powerful UV rays.

High-grade 6082 T6 aluminium leg and roof sections ensures structural superiority, while rugged PVC coated fabric provides durability and an effective working environment.

Sunshade structures feature completely open gable ends and a large area of shade for operational aircraft and vehicles. They can be easily shortened, extended, or modified into a hangar or warehouse.

EFASS sunshades are available in various span widths including 11.1m, 20.4m and 25m. Typical lengths range from 24m to 32m and are extendible by 4m bays to any length.
