Hail Protection Structure Options for Rooftop Parking

VPS rooftop parking shade structures protect vehicles at a high elevation in the open air from catastrophic damage due to hail. We design various rooftop parking solutions that can protect pedestrians while traveling in and out of the parking area and parking their vehicles.

Covered Walkways

VPS designs covered walkways to provide a safer walking area, reducing the risk of slips, falls, and hail strikes during severe storms. Covered walkways instill confidence in potential visitors that their vehicles will remain well-protected.

Mass Coverage

Mass coverage structures can provide large, open spaces with heavy-duty hail protection. For example, large shopping malls and hospitals may need mid- to large-size solutions to cover significant parking areas. The VPS Protector Series products offer mass coverage and can be customized to fit specific needs.

Cantilevers

Cantilevers are space-saving hail protection options that eliminate the need for traditional columns or support braces. They allow for more rooftop parking spaces and help drivers navigate tight spaces more easily.

Solid Membrane

For enhanced hail protection and visual appeal, VPS can create structures using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) scrim, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) commercial fabrics. These fabrics provide additional hail protection and are available in several colors.

Solar Integrated Hail Protection

Combining the benefits of hail protection with the long-term financial advantages of solar power generation, solar hail protection structures feature rooftop solar panels that can provide a significant return on investment over time.

Waterproof Shade Structures for Rooftop Parking

In addition to hail and UV protection, we manufacture waterproof structures that protect vehicles and drivers from rain. Our solid membrane designs are engineered using HDPE scrim, PVC, and PTFE to offer maximum rain protection. HDPE scrim and PVC membrane fabrics are available in many colors, while PTFE comes in white.

These innovative structures help ensure a safe and comfortable walking experience, even during inclement weather. Each fabric offers varying levels of fire retardancy and non-combustibility to suit each project’s needs. And like our hail protection structures, our waterproof structures can be outfitted with several accessories to meet specific site requirements and enhance functionality.

Benefits of Adding Covered Rooftop Parking Canopies

Investing in covered rooftop parking solutions offers a host of advantages for property owners:

• Increased ratio of covered parking: With the addition of a protective structure on the roof, parking structures gain an additional level of covered parking spaces.
• Improved structural aesthetics: Protective fabric structures can be much more aesthetically appealing than a typical concrete enclosure.
• Increased property marketability: Adding more desirable, well-protected parking spaces can significantly enhance the overall marketability of parking spaces and the property as a whole.
• Improved customer satisfaction: By offering covered rooftop parking that protects from the elements, property owners can demonstrate their commitment to customer safety and convenience, possibly leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
• Reduced maintenance costs: Integrating durable fabric structures helps prevent water- and hail-related damage to the underlying structure, which can reduce the need for costly repairs and maintenance over time.
• Energy efficiency: Covered rooftop parking structures can help reduce the urban heat island effect by providing shade and lowering the temperature of the parking surface, potentially leading to energy savings for the property.
• Versatile design options: With a range of customizable features and designs, covered rooftop parking structures can be tailored to suit each property’s needs and aesthetic preferences.
