Why You Need Hail Protection Covered Parking Structures

From a dime size to a baseball size, hail can significantly damage cars. Some hail can reach the size of softballs, and on an unprotected parked car it can mean dents, chipped paint, and broken glass. While most parking lots clearly state that the vehicle owner assumes all risk, hail damage is expensive to fix. Commercial covered parking canopy structures can be a proactive solution.

There are several benefits to installing VPS parking lot hail canopies: 

1. Unpredictable weather protection: Our parking lot hail canopies provide reliable protection for vehicles against unpredictable weather conditions and potential hail damage.
2. Durability and sturdiness: Our shade structures are designed to withstand harsh winds and adverse weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection.
3. UV ray protection: Our canopies are specifically engineered to shield vehicles from harmful UV rays, helping to prevent interior damage and reducing the risk of overheating.
4. Hail-resistant materials: We utilize strong and resilient materials that can withstand the force of hail, offering an additional layer of protection for parked vehicles.

By investing in our durable and sturdy parking lot shade structures, you can ensure the safety and protection of vehicles from hail, UV rays, and other elements.

In addition to protection from inclement weather, commercial-covered parking structures also have other advantages. They can:

• Add to the aesthetic appeal of your property
• Show your lot users that you care about their comfort and convenience
• Make it easier for drivers to exit the lot without the discomfort an excessively hot car or inconvenience of scraping snow or ice off windshields to see
• Incorporate lighting and surveillance accessories for better security
• Increase property value
• Provide coverage for roof-top parking spaces

Hail Protection Structure Options for Corporate Parking 

VPS provides corporate parking shade structures for comprehensive hailstorm protection. These structures can provide greater peace of mind by shielding employees as they travel to the workplace and store their vehicles with confidence, even in states with frequent and severe hail storms. 

Solar Hail Protection

VPS integrates hail protection and solar power into a single shade structure for corporate parking. These parking shade structures use solar power to provide renewable energy and promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) for the environment in the workplace. The solar powers also provide a return on investment over time, with money saved on utility bills and vehicles protected from catastrophic hail damage. 

Solid Membrane

VPS offers several solid membrane fabric options that integrate with many of our structural designs. We apply the fabric through a three-step process — fabric patterning, welding, and attaching.  

Our fabrics options include:

• PFTE
• HDPE scrim
• PVC

We offer various color options for HDPE scrim and PVC, with a white option only for PFTE. 

Covered Walkways

Covered walkways can help protect employees from hail as they move from the corporate parking area to the office space. These walkways also encourage healthy walking habits since they offer shade in summer and protection from the elements during storms. They can also increase safety by shielding the ground from precipitation.

Mass Coverage

Mass coverage is a popular choice for corporate parking areas that need heavy-duty hail protection solutions across a large space. The Panama Protector and Diamond Protector shape structures allow the company to choose the shape that best meets their needs. The structure's modular design is also highly customizable to adjust the length and width of the coverage over a large space. 

Cantilevers

VPS cantilevers use a free-standing design for efficiency and convenience. Without traditional support bracers or columns, the cantilever provides more parking space and easy mobility for pedestrians and cars.

VPS products utilize HDPE fabric, which is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. This material also allows hot air to rise up and out of the parking area, which in turn can help lower the temperatures inside parked cars by as much as 40 degrees. In both summer and winter, our parking canopy structures help you keep visitors, customers, and employees comfortable.

VPS parking lot canopy structures come in a variety of styles and colors and can include additional accessories such as logos, lighting, and pole pads. Structures can be designed and customized to incorporate your business' branding or to include solar power. For larger areas needing hail protection coverage, our structures can be joined together to span longer stretches of parking spaces without gaps between the fabric.

Our products are low-maintenance, allowing you to reap the benefits of hail protection without having to worry about complex cleaning and replacement schedules. Unlike agricultural hail netting, our modular systems are engineered to building codes and consistently outperform competitor structures. VPS is committed to quality and safety. We are the leading vehicle protection supplier for businesses worldwide. Contact VPS to talk to an expert about your covered parking project.
