How many cars can one shade structure cover?

Standard designs cover 1, 2, 4, or 6 car bays. We also design custom multi-bay structures for large commercial car parks.

How long will the shade cloth last?

High-quality HDPE shade cloth rated 200GSM with UV stabiliser typically lasts 10–15 years in Kenyan conditions.

Can the structure withstand strong winds?

Yes. We engineer the steel columns and concrete footings to the local wind speed data. Our structures are designed for sustained winds of 80–100 km/h.

Can I get it in my company colours?

Absolutely. Powder-coating is available in any RAL colour for the steelwork, and the shade cloth comes in a range of colours.

Do you need council approval?

Requirements vary by county and structure size. We advise on permit requirements during the survey.
