What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

The Client was in need of a shade structure for their cars, so that their cars would be protected from the sun’s rays, as well as helping them stay cool.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The awning installed is unique because it not only provides shade for the cars, but also helps protects the cars and keep them much cooler on the inside. Our awnings feature long lasting materials, as well as the added benefit of protecting furnishing's from harmful rays. The sun’s rays can be extremely damaging to cars, due to the drying and cracking effect the rays can have on your car's paint, and seats leather. Our awnings provided a solution to this problem, while also providing architectural compliments to the site


What were the results of the project?

The results were great. The awning successfully provided a solution to heat, and helped keep the vehicles out of the sun’s harmful rays as well as keeping the car’s from severely overheating.
