Uses for Sun and Hail Protection Structures

VPS shade and weather-hardening structures help safeguard vehicles for the U.S. military and government. VPS offers multiple military vehicle covered parking structures that are appropriate for changing demands.

Government buildings and military bases choose our products for:

  • Training: Military teams undergo training to use all-terrain vehicles. VPS structures allow instructors to work with military personnel without getting wet from rain, hail, or snow.
  • Vehicle maintenance: Utility vehicles, drones, and weapons require upkeep. A vehicle protection structure makes it easier for qualified personnel to complete maintenance and repairs.
  • Comfort: VPS solutions help troops and their families live and work comfortably. Fabric and solid roof structures can lower heat load substantially and enhance thermal comfort in hot, high-solar environments.

Vehicle Protection Structures for Government Buildings and Military Bases

The engineered structures available through VPS can reduce heat stress, cut UV exposure, and shield fleets. From tactical vehicles and aircraft ground support equipment to personal vehicles, units remain mission-ready, and patrons remain relaxed.

Cantilevers

A cantilever from VPS makes an excellent government vehicle covered parking structure. These solutions can help safeguard important utility vehicles from hail while leaving room for parking and maneuvering vehicles. Cantilevers are a viable option when driving wide columns and posts for structures into the ground is out of the question.

Covered Walkways

Create designated walkways for government employees and military teams. These could be for reaching equipment maintenance bays or accessing personnel offices and workstations. Covered walkways are efficient for reducing wet and icy pavement around entryways and exits. They also provide shade and comfort during warmer months.

Mass Coverage

Mass coverage vehicle protection structures for government buildings leave spaces where personal vehicles and those owned by a specific branch can be parked or stored out of harm’s way. These modular solutions are made to the width and length of the given environment. Protect all vehicles in a parking lot with mass coverage in unique shapes.

Waterproof Fabrics

Consistent rain and heavy snow can interfere with training schedules, dispatching, and repairing government and military vehicles. VPS delivers waterproof fabric coverings that can help keep rain out of engine bays and vehicle cabins. Continue with operations using Novashield®, PVC, PTFE, or HDPE scrim fabrics. Each material can last 15-25 years or more with ongoing care.
