Steel parking canopies for airports and parking operators

Cars sitting for days in Texas and Louisiana sun take a beating. Superior Steelworx fabricates and installs permanent steel canopies for airport lots, rental-car facilities and commercial parking operators, with cantilever designs that keep stalls open.

How we approach airports and parking operators projects

Cars at airports sit for days in full sun. Permanent steel canopies protect the vehicles and give the operator a premium product to sell. Long runs of cantilever are common because open stalls help drivers with luggage and doors, and big lots can be covered in phases so revenue lanes stay open.

Why it works for this buyer

Permanent steel, not fabric

A steel frame and metal roof is a long-term structure that does not need periodic re-skinning.

Open stalls for turnover

Cantilever frames leave no columns in the stall, which helps with luggage, doors and tight maneuvering.

Phaseable

Big lots can be covered in phases, so revenue lanes stay open.

  • What phasing keeps lanes open during construction?
  • Should the canopy carry solar panels?
