Leaders in Marquees, Tents, Annexe's & portable shade products - "Australia Wide" - Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth...

Bushy Mitchell - Event Operations Manager

Billabong has worked with a number of other portable shade brands. From previous experiences dealing with other sponsors products supplied to competitions across Australia and overseas, we prefer, choose and recommend the Quikshade Australia brand.

Through these experiences we have found Quikshade to meet our heavy demands in touring, branding and protection. It’s built to withstand tougher conditions by the sea. Due to the superior construction I believe the aluminium rolled edges in the frame have been more beneficial in meeting the demands of sand and salt. With Quikshade there are no concerns with sand getting stuck in reinforced cavities of struts and legs. We just give it a whack and it falls out ready for transporting to the next venue.

With the Quikshade Australia brand it takes less energy to maintain, and I like that! Its simple and it works, every time, all the time…

Tony Spencer – Head Trainer

Whilst away at Stradbroke Island doing a training camp – “I had the Quikshade up with extra tarp as I’m a bit of a camper. Well, the weather was chaotic and it blew a gale and it bucketed down with rain. I had 4 blokes “tackling” with my tarp and all the while the Quikshade sat there like a prized possession.

Chris Foreman – Project Manager

“We found the Quikshade product to be of a very high standard, in both versatility and functionality. There were several occasions when they survived extreme weather conditions being high winds and torrential rain.

The Quikshade product was a contributing factor to the success of the Crusty Demons East Coast Carnage Tour 2006, and our previous tour The Crusty Demons Outback Assault Tour 2005 and we would have no hesitation in using them in the future or recommending them to anyone. Thanks again Quikshade!”

Kathy Stevens – Community Liaison Manager

Our Organisation has been using the Quik Shade marquee for a number of years now. This marquee is used for internal and external corporate events, and is also loaned to community groups for community events - it gets a considerable amount of use. It is quick and easy to erect, and our logo displayed on this marquee advertises our company, and our also shows our support to the community when used by community groups.

Scott Bishop Team Manager

Yamaha Queensland handed over a blue Quikshade with a White Yamaha logo way back at the end of the 1997 season. I'm still using that very same tent today, without any modifications, damage or faults. It has been everywhere from Perth, to Darwin, Melbourne to Cairns and stands the test of time and the rear of a motocross van.

So when I came about organising the Yamaha Queensland Race teams and wanted to have a bold presence in the pits and something that would last out more than just one season, the Quikshade Tent was the only option. Quikshade offers a great construction, value for money, easy to erect, no fuss tents and shades that look great and work all day, every day.

Steve Langley

“I had previously worked with the Quikshade brand for 15 years and knew it was the product that would withstand many different hands, constant usage and stronger weather conditions. The club has now purchased 2 Quikshades. We enjoy the shade and it is so easy to set up, even the kids can do".

Chris Doige – Chief Commissioner

“The Scouts are extremely pleased with the Quikshades we have purchased, they have proven easy to transport, youth as young as 10 have put them up and taken them down. The shades are very bright and our logo is visible from a distance and we have used them as a washing up shade tent, sideshow tent, drink stall, airbrushing tattoo shade just to mention a few uses. Fantastic purchase and well worth the money, we plan to use them for many years to come.”

Steve Hastwell – Marketing Manager

We have used our Quikshade at various expos and events. It appeared in our TV Commercial, the Police Expo, the ice blocking part of our Centenary of Scouting event and our Sea Scout Rowing regatta. I find it easy to use, very visual and a real focus for our displays.

Katherine Noll – Marketing Officer

“As well as being a portable and convenient shelter the Quikshade has been an unexpected marketing tool! The bright yellow Quikshade with our printed logo attracts attention at any event, giving our display a corporate and professional look while ensuring the comfort and protection of our volunteers. It has been robust enough for all our volunteers to erect and transport and still looks as good as the day we purchased it! In fact we are in the process of ordering more!”

Ronald Cunningham SO4 - Divisional Superintendent

This year we use the Quikshade for a Annual Christmas Parade held in the Pine Rivers Shire. The Quikshade was great and the colour stood out and was acknowledge by our members and people for a distance. With the struts in the roof, we find putting up lights at an evening duty being great and helpful. The Quikshade being lightweight and easy to transport makes the unit user friendly to my members.

I have informed other division that the money is worth it and they should look at this type of Quikshade for their divisions.

Darren Smart – Marketing Manager

Over the last two and a half years TeamMoto has purchased several Quikshades as well as other brands of instant shade products from 'other' suppliers, some cheaper, some dearer, but none lasted or was as easy to put up as the product we have purchased from Quikshade Australia. The service at Quikshade is very good and I would recommend them and their product above any other in the same line of business.

Di Chambers - Office Administrator

"We use our 4.5m x 3m Quikshade for all our sports carnivals, representive events and Open Day(approx 10 times a year). We love the Quikshade because it is so easy to assemble, the advertising space is great and it is fuctional as well as practical."

John Henderson Real Estate

John Henderson has donated over $285,000 to 3 Surf Life Saving Clubs on the Gold Coast says that; “Quikshades are the most cost effective promotional tool on the beach. Everyone sees them”

Ian Coles

“We lend our Quikshade out to dealers every weekend and boy do they cop a hiding.The dealers are rough on their units and toss them about a great deal. I’ve seen other portable shelters and they just can’t take it like the Quikshade does. I certainly recommend Quikshade because they do just last longer. It’s a great company and an even better product.”

Amy Warren – Senior Promotions Coordinator

"90.9 Sea FM and 92.5 Gold FM are delighted with the service and quality or product provided by Quikshade. The marquees are both structurally well built and look very professional out in the marketplace. They add additional signage to our outside events and ensure we are well branded for all to see."

Al Wright

“We chose the Quikshade company because of their quality product and attention to detail. The customer service has been above reproach and of the highest standard. Dealing with Quikshade has been a pleasure.”

Barbara Ferry-Smith - Manager Business Relations, Public Affairs & Communications

"We had our 'Quikshades' up at the Caloundra Music Festival on the weekend - one was used at the entry and the other was used in the park for the Thiess Community stage. They looked fantastic and everyone commented on them!!! PLUS, we are going to use them for the Noosa Triathlon in a few weekends - as a 'drink station'. They are working out to be such an amazing investment.!!!!”

Andrew Bell - Director of Sport

“I can report back to you as it turned out, we again picked the worst Gold Coast day in years, with Category One Cyclone winds and torrential rain for most of the day. All eight tents not only survived the extreme winds and constant heavy rain, they did it with ease. Importantly, we did tie down the tents from the top of each leg with guy ropes that proved to be highly effective.”

Mal Currie – Equipment Manager

“I have put up lots of brands of portable shelters for Little Athletics clubs over the years and I know you can see the difference between them. Quikshade is our chosen brand because it’s stronger, sturdier, more stablised in all weather conditions. It just doesn’t get tossed around in the wind. This means our investment and our kids are safe."

Jacqueline Nguyen - Safer Communities Development Worker

“Quikshade were the quickest response to my request for information and a quote. The other companies I tried were not as helpful as Quikshade and really didn’t offer very much information. Quikshade provided an overkill of info which I loved as it covered all my questions.”

Jodie McLeod - Marketing Manager & Community Relations

"Since the beginning of our relationship with Quikshade Australia it has been a pleasure to do business with such a professional, friendly company. Your product is durable, great value for money and promotes our brand consistently with our style guidlines. "

Leanne Elliot

“On first using the Quikshade we were very impressed with how easy and efficient it was to set up. We experienced a minor issue of concern regarding our logo and we were delighted with the service and attention to detail the Quikshade team provided in fixing the matter immediately. The standard of service matches the quality of product that I doubt anyone else could provide.”

Andrew Stark – CEO

“.....I've had our 9 Quikshades up in conditions, I should not have. I remember a competition we were holding at North Stradbroke Island, "the wind was howling, must have been 40 knots". The Quikshade was handling it well up until this point, so obviously we put it down to protect the public and the equipment.

The Quikshades are up every weekend and in more often than not, trying conditions. It is only now, after 3 years, we are looking at replacing the canopies only to keep our corporate profile/branding looking professional. So it has been a very cost effective buy, to say the least.”

Wendy Wilson

“We even lend our Quikshade at Little Athletic associated events. Its services go beyond just our clubs needs. We bought the strongest to last the longest.”

Anthony Smith

“Although we bought our first Quikshade (4.5m x 3m) 2 years ago, it is like new! It is heavy duty and really withstands not only our Centre’s requirements, but when we lend it to other community groups. We are so pleased with the durability of the Quikshade we have purchased a second unit (6m x 3m) for the new season. An investment that our Centre is very happy to make.”

Paul Timmis

“Hello people at Quikshade. Just a quick note of thanks for all of the assistance I received after my Quikshade grew wings, took off and disintegrated on landing. Your prices, professionalism, promptness and follow up not to mention your friendly manner were all noted along the way. I expected a $1,000 bill and a months stuffing around, instead it took under one week and cost $65.00 including postage, and all with a smile. Thank you for your service.”

Darren. J. Johnson - State Superintendent

"I write to express how pleased I am with the recent purchase of the Quikshade which I have found to be of excellent quality and very easy to assemble. Quikshade is an outstanding product and I congratulate your company on providing this item and for your excellent service."

Paul Jajou - Product Executive

"We ordered a Marquee through Quikshade and have never looked back. We use it all our events and it durable, easy to use and has stood the test of time. Quikshades post sales service is remarkable - I would recommend Quikshade to anyone after a Marquee.”
