Shrink wrap has long been a trusted solution for protecting construction projects—but its true potential goes far beyond building sites. At Ecoshrink, we’re helping clients harness the power of shrink wrap across a wide range of industries, delivering fast, secure, and weather-resistant protection for everything from festivals and sporting events to emergency shelters, temporary structures and other specialist shrink wrapping projects.
Fast, Reliable Protection for Outdoor Events
Organising an outdoor event means working against the clock—and the elements. Whether it’s a concert stage, a pop-up bar, grandstand seating, or sensitive AV equipment, exposure to rain or wind can cause major disruption and damage. Shrink wrap offers a clean, tight-fitting cover that doesn’t flap, leak, or shift in poor weather, providing peace of mind and professional presentation.
Unlike traditional tarps or tents, shrink wrap is heat-sealed and tailored directly to the structure—offering a sleek, branded, and highly secure solution. We’ve supported clients in protecting festival stages overnight, shielding camera platforms at outdoor sporting events, and enclosing VIP hospitality areas in advance of unpredictable weather.
Creating Temporary, Weatherproof Structures
Shrink wrap isn’t just for covering—it's also for creating. We can transform metal frames, scaffolds, or timber skeletons into fully enclosed, watertight spaces. This makes shrink wrap an ideal choice for temporary workshops, pop-up storage units, and even staff welfare areas.
Because it conforms tightly to the underlying framework, shrink wrap can be applied in virtually any location and around any shape—making it perfect for restricted or uneven sites where traditional modular structures aren’t viable.
Emergency Response & Humanitarian Relief
Speed is everything in emergency scenarios. Whether it’s storm damage, fire recovery, or rapid shelter construction, shrink wrap can provide immediate, robust coverage. We've worked with clients to:
Cover damaged rooftops to prevent further water ingress after storms
Enclose exposed interiors after fire or structural collapse
Create temporary shelter zones for emergency response teams
Protect high-value equipment or aid supplies in unpredictable environments
Our rapid-response teams can deploy nationwide, delivering practical, on-the-ground solutions when timing is critical.
Transportation and Specialist Equipment Protection
For oversized or sensitive cargo, shrink wrap offers a tailored layer of protection during transit or storage. This includes:
Machinery and equipment for overseas shipping
Wind turbines, vehicles, or aircraft parts
Modular buildings awaiting installation
Exhibition materials or bespoke event builds
Wrapped properly, your items stay clean, dry, and secure—protected from the elements, debris, and tampering throughout their journey.

At Ecoshrink, we combine construction-grade experience with a problem-solving mindset.
