Characteristics of Cantilever Structures

Cantilevers are structures that extend away from their support into open space. There are many examples of cantilevers, including bridges, balconies, street lights, and shade structures for parking.

Cantilever shade structures are designed with offset columns that leave one side of the structure without columns. The intuitive design is ideal for dealerships, rooftop parking lots, bus stops, airports, and other commercial spaces.

Cantilever Structures

Rigid and efficient design: Despite being unsupported at one end, cantilever structures are rigid and offer reliable support. Larger cantilevers have a strong backspan that keeps the structure secure. The cantilever's design allows for efficient load transfer and support.
Streamlined construction: Our cantilever structures feature fewer columns, enabling faster project construction compared to multi-column designs.
Enhanced functionality: These structures can be customized to accommodate internal wiring, making it possible to seamlessly integrate lighting fixtures, surveillance cameras, and other desired features.
Flexibility in design: With a wide variety of designs available, our cantilever structures offer the flexibility to meet specific project requirements and aesthetic preferences.

By leveraging the advantages of cantilever structures, you can achieve efficient load transfer, faster construction, and enhanced functionality, all while maintaining a visually appealing design. Explore our range of cantilever solutions to find the perfect fit for your project.

Apex: The Apex Series Cantilever is another of our latest designs. It showcases a flat-roof system with a simple and modern design. One of the Apex's standout features is the ability to outfit it with photovoltaic panels.
Cypress: The Cyrpus Series originated from a unique design featuring an inclined, trussed, and bowed roof system. It can be installed in single and double rows.

We have three materials to suit different project budgets and preferences:

Novashield®: This waterproof membrane is our budget-friendly option that is suitable for temporary and permanent structures.
PVC: This is our versatile middle-tier fabric, which also has options for temporary and permanent solutions.
PTFE: PTFE offers the highest durability for long-term wear, making it the preferred fabric for permanent installations.

The fabrics have a 15- to 25-year life span, and additional features include fire resistance, self-cleaning options, and choices for color, weight, and texture.

Benefits of Cantilever Shade Canopy Structures

Cantilevers are reliable, sturdy structures that are ideal for covered parking without impeding movement or limiting space. Some of the benefits of cantilever carports include:

Vehicle protection: Cantilevers can protect vehicles from various weather conditions, including hail, rain, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV rays).
Design versatility: With VPS cantilevers, businesses enjoy options for various fabrics and colors.
Marketability: Cantilevers act as marketable displays that can be seen from far away, adding value to properties thanks to the desirable parking feature.
Space-saving: Because these structures are free-standing and offer such flexible placement, they are especially beneficial if working with limited space, as they can give an area a bigger, more open feel.
Durability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness: Our cantilevers are made from strong, long-lasting materials, which makes them a cost-effective option when thinking long-term. Since they do not require multiple posts, they are also easier to install than many alternatives.
Boosting aesthetic appeal: A cantilever's contemporary design can match a variety of architectural styles and transform lots with its modern, sleek look.

Applications of a Cantilever Shade Structure

People choose cantilevers for their durability to withstand weather conditions and versatility to create covered parking in most spaces. Cantilever shade structures are also a top choice for various businesses because they allow for more use of space.

Cantilever shade canopy structures work well for the following applications:

Car dealerships: Cantilevers can protect a dealership's inventory on the lot as the weather changes and the market fluctuates. In the warmer months, customers can browse options in cooler spaces that keep the vehicles in ready-to-sell conditions. Plus, low maintenance and added security allows dealerships to focus on the appearance and performance of their cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Airport parking: Offering parking under cantilever shade structures lets airport operators offer premium airport parking that helps protect vehicles from UV rays, rain, and other inclement weather. Operators can also put cantilevers at car rental lots or loading and unloading areas for continued convenience.
Corporate parking: By providing covered parking, businesses can make it easier for drivers to exit the lot promptly. They avoid scraping ice off their vehicle or waiting for the interior to cool down on a hot day. Businesses with cantilevered parking can show employees and customers that they prioritize their comfort and convenience.
Rooftop parking: With cantilever shade canopy structures, commercial building owners and managers can easily add additional covered parking to the rooftop parking lot. There is no need to put in additional supports for a full roof, and cantilevers allow owners or managers to select colors for an aesthetically appealing look.
