Building a shaded car park does not have to be an expensive and time-consuming project. With custom shade structures, you can have a carefully engineered solution based on your needs.
Car park shade structures continue to be a popular shading solution that offers protection from external weather conditions. They come in different options, including barrel vault structures and skillion options, with lighting and walkways for more versatility.
The obvious benefit of installing a custom car park shade structure is the protection it provides to cars. Too much exposure to UV light and heat could damage the interior of vehicles and cause discomfort for drivers and passengers. So, if you want to increase the comfort of your employees and customers while protecting their investment, consider installing custom shade structures.
More benefits from shade structures
A single-bay car park shade is ideal for small commercial properties. It can protect a single row of vehicles from rain and hail. When combined with a double bay car park shade, you can extend the shading to the outer edges of your parking area. Double bay car park shades protect two rows of parked cars, making them cost-effective for covering a larger space. Full-cover car park shades offer protection over the entire parking aisle or lot, including the parking bays and driveway.
Improve your car park’s layout
Reputable manufacturers of car park shade structures offer various fabrics to meet specific protection levels and other requirements, such as waterproofing and incorporated lighting. A double bay car park shade may also have a walkway to protect customers from the sun and rain as they move between your establishment and their cars. Walkways also prevent congestion as they provide dedicated and safer pedestrian areas.
Fire protection and wind resistance
Some custom shade structures can come with fire protection. Fire resistance helps prevent the spread of fires, in case too much heat causes some cars to combust spontaneously. Reputable manufacturers can also customise your car park shades with appropriate wind ratings or according to the conditions specific to your site.
