Why You Need Covered Parking Structures on Commercial Properties

No matter if it’s the size of a dime or a baseball, hail can significantly damage cars. Some hail can reach the size of softballs. These plummeting projectiles can cause dents, chipped paint, and broken glass on an unprotected parked car.

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:

Weather protection: Our parking lot hail canopies provide reliable protection for vehicles against unpredictable weather conditions and potential hail damage.
Durability and sturdiness: Our shade structures are designed to withstand harsh winds and adverse weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and protection.
UV ray protection: Our parking canopies are engineered to shield vehicles from harmful UV rays, helping to prevent interior damage and reducing the risk of overheating.
Hail-resistant materials: We use strong and hail-resistant materials that offer additional protection for parked vehicles.
Waterproof fabrics: We offer waterproof material options for added security from rain and water damage.

By investing in our durable and sturdy parking lot shade structures, you can improve the 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 of an excessively hot car.
Overcome the 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.

Waterproof Corporate Parking Lot Covers

Corporate Waterproof Parking Structure Covers

The value of your commercial property is tied to the experiences it creates for customers, staff, and executives.

On rainy days, a pleasant and productive environment offers warmth, shelter, and safety from slips or damage to assets. Our corporate parking structures include durable, waterproof fabric options to keep the rain off people and their vehicles.

Our selection of waterproof materials will cater to your needs and budget while withstanding the fiercest downpours. These fabrics include:

Novashield®: An affordable waterproof membrane for covered parking structures
PVC: A mid-priced waterproof material with versatile design options for commercial property parking
PTFE: A premium choice with maximum durability and flexibility for long-term waterproof corporate parking

Each of these fabrics has different qualities, so you can choose the one that best fits your priorities. However, all provide enduring protection for corporate parking on your commercial property. Distinguishing features across our waterproof fabric range include:

Finest quality waterproof materials
Life spans of 15-25 years and beyond
Fire-resistant fabrics
Variety of textures, weights, and colors
Self-cleaning options

Enhancing your corporate parking cover with a waterproof fabric introduces many benefits, including:

Asset safety: Rainwater can cause corrosion, electrical and mechanical issues, and other harmful effects. Secure costly equipment, products, and vehicles from damage by heavy rain.
Positive experiences: Rainy weather can impact how people think of your property, especially if the weather is an inconvenience. Elevate the perceived value of your property and enrich the customer experience by providing shelter from rain.
Improved shade: Waterproof shade structures shield your commercial property parking lot from the sun as well as the rain. This keeps people comfortable and cars safer from sun damage.
Lasting shelter: Waterproof materials are designed to tolerate moisture, which damages and degrades standard materials. Trust quality waterproof fabrics to perform well through years of sunshine and storms.

Our waterproof fabrics are available across our covered parking structure range, including solid membranes, covered walkways, mass coverage, and cantilevers.

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. This is a specialized process that our team can adapt to your property’s aesthetic and performance needs.

Our fabric 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 covered walkways for pedestrians 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, which can be a slipping hazard.

Mass Coverage

Mass coverage is a popular choice for corporate parking areas that need heavy-duty hail, rain, and sun protection solutions across a large space. The VPS team has the experience to install mass coverage structures to cover many acres of parking lot space.

The Panama Protector and Diamond Protector shape structures allow you to choose the shape that best meets your 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 people and cars. This promotes an efficient, obstacle-free environment for busy executives in expensive vehicles.

Choose VPS Commercial Parking Lot Shade Structures

VPS products use HDPE fabric that withstands severe weather. This material also allows hot air to rise up and out of the parking area, which can help lower the temperatures inside parked cars by as much as 40 degrees. We also offer a range of waterproof, fire-resistant, and UV-resistant materials. 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 sustainability. For larger areas needing protective coverage, our structures can be joined together to span longer stretches of parking spaces without gaps between the fabric.

Our low-maintenance products allow you to reap the benefits of hail, rain, and sun protection without worrying about complex cleaning and replacement schedules. Unlike agricultural hail netting, our modular systems are engineered to satisfy building codes and consistently outperform competitor structures. VPS is committed to quality and safety. That commitment has made us the leading vehicle protection supplier for properties worldwide. Contact VPS to talk to an expert about your commercial covered parking project.
