Tech/Engineering - Forestry / Wood / Timber / économie forestière responsable
English term or phrase: shades
Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

Je traduis un document plutôt urgent qui traite notamment d'une économie forestière responsable dans un pays africain.

Dans le cas présent, est-il question de "toiles", de "couvertures ombragées" ou existe-t-il un terme nettement plus adéquat ?

Merci beaucoup.

"Employees can cut ebony more efficiently and precisely, reducing waste and bringing greater economic value to the processed ebony parts.
Other improvements to the facility include a new building with an upgraded concrete floor, the addition of dust collectors for a cleaner working environment, newly built carts that allow wood parts to be moved easily, and new ***shades*** to protect against rain."
