Metal Shelters and Pavilions

Structural Eaves
These are great for structural stability of the shelter and prevention of vandalism on the roof edges.

No Exposed Bolts
Our hardware connections are hidden within the beams to provide aesthetic elegance.

Powder Coating: Setting the Stage
1. Blast to White: Blast all steel to “White” condition to remove all surface rust and oil. This process insures a raw steel finish for proper adhesion for Stage 4 (Zinc TGIC Powder Prime Coat).
2. Air Induction Cleaning: Remove dust from the blast process in stage 1.
3. Preheat Steel: Pre-Heat steel at 1.5 ft per line minute for 13ft in IR oven to a temperature of 250 Degrees to prepare steel for Stage 4 (Epoxy TGIC Powder Coating Zinc Rich Primer Process).
4. Zinc Rich Powder Coating: This stage is the Electrostatic Application of Epoxy TGIC Powder Coating Zinc Rich Primer. Unlike any other shelter manufacturer, we are utilizing an actual TGIC Zinc Powder Coating Rich Primer. This stage 3 application is applied at 3 mils and has been salt spray tested for 4,000 + hours using the ASTM Method B117. (Note: The 4,000 hours of salt spray testing is only with the Zinc Rich TGIC Powder Coat Primer and before the Stage 5 TGIC Top Powder Coat application of an additional 3 mils of TGIC Powder Coat.)
5. Top Powder Coating Color: This stage is the Electrostatic application of TGIC Top Powder Coat at 3 mils. This application, along with the Stage 4 Epoxy TGIC Powder Coating Zinc Rich Primer, produces a total of 6 mils of finished Powder Coating and has tested at 5,000+ hours using the ASTM Method B117. It is important to note that testing was discontinued at 5,000 hours.
6. Curing Process: The final stage is the final cure of coatings at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.
Test Results: Powder Coating
1. Test: Direct Impact (in/lbs) | Method: D2794 | Range: 120 + in/lbs
2. Test: Indirect Impact (in/lbs) | Method: D2794 | Range: 120 + in/lbs
3. Test: Pencil Hardness | Method: D3363 | Range: 2H +

5. Test: Flexibility (Conical Mandrell) | Method: D1797 / D522 | Range: 90%
6. Test: Salt Spray Resistance | Method: ASTM B117 | Range: 5,000 + hours
7. Test: Humidity Resistance | Method: ASTM D2247 | Range: 5,000 + hours

Answers to Common Shade and Shelter Questions

Will I Need a Permit For My Shade Structure?

This will depend on where you live and the local requirements. Check with your local building department before ordering.

Can you Custom Design a Shade for my Needs?

Yes! We custom design shades of all shapes and sizes for our clients. If you do not see a shade that fits your needs, let us know and we will design it. We cans custom design and engineer shades to meet your needs, wind loads and local building requirements. There are design limitations to shades in terms of height and size.

How much does it cost to install a shade?

This will vary greatly from shade to shade. Generally about 50% of your costs of a shade project will go to the installation, the larger the shade the more expensive it is to install.

When will my item ship?

Most shades will ship in four to six weeks from the date of purchase. Each shade is made to order and customized for you.

How will my shade structure arrive to me?

Most shade structures will arrive on a long pallet or skid, depending on the size of the unit. The skid can be unpacked and unloaded by hand, or machinery may be used to unload it. The driver will not assist with unloading. Some shades which are very large and thus very heavy will require machinery to unload.

Can we install shade structures ourselves?

Yes! All of our shade and shelter products come with detailed instructions and requirements for tools.

Is the shade fabric flame resistant?

We have several different fabric colors, those marked with “CFM” after the name are flame resistant.

Will you shades stand up to hurricane force winds?

We can engineer your shade and shelter structure to meet required windloads.
