Cantilever
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cantilever shade structures offer numerous benefits by helping create a comfortable outdoor space that attracts more customers and patrons. Your business can enjoy these benefits and more when you install commercial cantilever shade structures.
Highly Versatile
Cantilever shade structures are low profile and extremely versatile. They are available in a variety of sizes, styles, configurations and designs that are ideal in multiple business environments. Length, width and entry heights can be customized to meet your needs and unique applications. Cantilever options include:
- Cantilever Disc: A single sleek column suspending a framed circular fabric ideal for pool areas.
- Cantilever Arch Walkway: An arched cantilever shade structure that provides sufficient coverage for bus stops, walkways and train stations.
- Luna: A crescent-shaped shade structure with two columns on either end and a curved roofline that works well for train stations and bus stops.
- Arch-Truss: An elegant arched shade structure with a single column on each end. It’s best for shading vehicles in car washes, parking lots and car dealerships, or any shaded space that needs columns out of the way.
- Hip T-Cantilever: A simple cantilever shade structure that provides lots of space underneath. Your business can use Hip T-Cantilevers to shade walkways, parking lots, bleachers or sidewalks.
Leaves Ample Space Underneath
Cantilevers create an inviting area with ample space since the posts are placed at the rear end of the cantilever canopy. As a result, they provide unobstructed space and clearer views. Use them to offer a seating area for clients to relax and enjoy being outside without worrying about the scorching sun. They are also ideal for bleachers because fans can enjoy spectating while under the shade with minimal column obstruction.
Cantilevers protect vehicles and improve visibility in car washes, car dealerships and parking lots. They take up little space, making it possible to install several cantilevers to increase the number of parking spots. Fewer support pillars on cantilever shade structures make parking faster and easier while reducing the risk of accidents.
Blocks Out Glaring and Harmful Sun Rays
Shade structures enhance the usability of your business’s outdoor space by helping to regulate the temperature. Cantilever shade structures create a more comfortable environment for clients by keeping out excess sunlight. For sports fields and arenas, cantilevers can protect the home and away benches from the sun’s glare and provide shade for spectators to better enjoy the game.
A cantilever protects cars from overheating while they sit in parking lots. You can also have them installed in playgrounds to protect kids and the play equipment from the sun’s scorching heat. Cantilevers installed on verandas or sidewalks of restaurants provide a welcoming ambiance that can attract more clients to your establishment.
Boost Aesthetics
Your business can use cantilever shade structures to increase aesthetic appeal. They can be customized according to your business’s style, colors and designs to create an inviting atmosphere for clients and leave a good first impression. Your shade structures can help boost your brand’s visibility when you match them to your color scheme and other design elements.
To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your business’s shade structures, it’s important to clean them regularly according to best practices and recommendations. Cleaning the fabric helps remove any dirt or grime that can accumulate over time and take away from the beauty of your cantilever shade structure.
Low-Maintenance
Cantilever shade structures require simple maintenance to keep them in optimal condition. Maintenance mostly involves preventive measures, such as:
- Complete routine inspections for stains, cracks on the columns or any other defects that may occur over time. Conducting visual inspections on a regular basis helps you catch and resolve any issues early on.
- Adjust all connective points between the fabric and posts to eliminate any sagging or wrinkling, and fix any mechanical damage.
- Conduct maintenance checks after significant weather events such as storms to check for wear and tear. You can also ensure the fabric is still secure and remove any debris left behind.
