From shopping centres to office buildings and public parking facilities, having a car park that provides adequate shade and weather protection is a non-negotiable these days. Not only does it ensure customers, staff, and clients have peace of mind their vehicles are safe from the elements, but it also enhances the overall user experience and adds significant value to the whole property.
Investing in a high-quality shade solution is a smart decision, however, to ensure durability, functionality, and compliance with safety standards, it’s essential to work with experts in commercial shade cloth. Perth is home to Supreme Shades, here we’ll explain why experience matters when it comes to car park shade structures.
Expert Design for Maximum Coverage and Aesthetics
Commercial shade structures must be professionally designed to provide optimal coverage while complementing the overall architecture of the premises. Professionals consider factors such as:
- The layout of the car park to ensure maximum shade coverage.
- The positioning of posts to avoid obstructing traffic flow.
- The aesthetics of the structure to align with the property’s design.
- Local climate conditions, including wind load and sun angles, to ensure year-round effectiveness.
Our experienced team will assess all of this and create a custom shade solution tailored to your specific needs and budget.
Compliance with Safety Standards and Regulations
Building commercial car park shade structures involves more than just setting up fabric canopies over parking spaces. Proper engineering and adherence to safety regulations are essential. Professional shade installers ensure compliance with all relevant local building codes and council regulations, as well as structural integrity to withstand strong winds and heavy rain. They’ll also make sure that fire-retardant and UV-resistant materials are used and they’ll design the system for proper drainage and water run-off management, preventing pooling and damage.
High-Quality Materials for Longevity
Not all shade materials are created equal. Cheap, low-quality fabrics and frames can deteriorate quickly under harsh weather conditions, leading to frequent replacements and maintenance costs. Experts in commercial shade structures use premium materials such as:
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) shade fabrics – UV-stabilised for long-term sun protection.
- Powder-coated or galvanised steel frames – Resistant to rust and corrosion.
- Tensioned structures – To prevent sagging and extend the lifespan of the shade sails.
Supreme Shades is a proud supplier of Triax – a revolutionary coupling system that allows two pipes to be joined at any angle. This gives us the freedom to create unique, customised designs that can span up to 6 metres between supporting bearers – an ideal solution for car park shade structures.
Long-Term Cost Savings and Warranty Protection
While professional design and installation might seem like a bigger upfront investment, it pays off in the long run with:
- Reduced maintenance costs – High-quality materials and expert installation mean fewer repairs.
- Longer lifespan – Professionally installed structures last for decades.
- Warranty coverage – Many professional providers offer warranties on materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind.
