Shade structures fail at the connections, not in the middle of the span. Our designs put the engineering into the base plate, the cable edge and the membrane corner plates — the points that take the real load when a summer shamal comes through.
Membrane selection matters just as much. PVDF-coated fabric holds its colour and stays cleanable in this climate far longer than economy PVC, which is what determines whether a car park still looks presentable after a few seasons.
Single and double cantilever bays, and arched steel roofs for wider parking runs.
Conic, hypar and barrel-vault fabric roofs patterned and tensioned to hold a clean surface without ponding.
Structures and foundations calculated to local wind speeds with documented design submissions for approval.
Galvanised and powder-coated steel columns and rafters with concealed drainage where required.
Pad footings, anchor bolt cages and reinstatement co-ordinated with the existing car park surface.
Provision for lighting, conduit routing and gutter discharge designed into the structure.
Tensile shades use a tensioned PVC or PTFE membrane over a steel frame - lighter, faster to install and the usual choice for open car parks. Steel or aluminium roof sheeting suits sites that want full rain protection or a flat architectural profile.
Yes. Frames and foundations are sized for the wind load at the site, not just the shade area - that is the difference between a canopy that survives a summer shamal and one that peels.
Yes. We phase installation bay by bay so most of the car park stays in use, and coordinate foundation cores against existing services before any drilling.
We fabricate parking shades in our own workshop and install with our own crews, so a site in Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah gets the same survey, the same shop drawings and the same finish as a site in Dubai.
