What We Do

What a Dealership Shade Structure Does and How We Build It

A permanent steel-frame canopy with commercial fabric, built in-house and engineered to your lot. On a dealership property, it delivers:

  • Cooler display rows, customer parking, and service lanes that keep buyers on the lot past midday.
  • A layout engineered around your column spacing, lane widths, and drainage from a pre-build site assessment.
  • UV protection for customers, staff, and the vehicles parked underneath.

Corporate Parking

Need coverage for employee or visitor lots? Corporate parking structures follow the same engineering standards, designed around different traffic patterns.

See our Corporate Parking page for employee and visitor lot details

Shade Installation

Every project includes professional installation by our own crews, from foundation work and HydroVac excavation through final structural assembly.

Installation That Works Around Your Lot

A dealership lot stays busy during the build, so our process works around your operation in six clear steps:

Site evaluation: we assess lane widths, column spacing, drainage, and utility locations, documenting lighting, signage, and fuel lines.

Custom design: our team produces 3D renderings showing column placement, coverage, and fabric color, with no standard kits.

Permitting we pull all permits and coordinate with New Braunfels, Comal County, or whichever authority your lot falls under.

Fabrication steel and Commercial95 fabric panels are built to your engineered specs, not adapted from a prefabricated system.

Foundation: HydroVac excavation sets footings precisely in caliche and clay-heavy soil without damaging buried fuel lines or conduit.

Final Walkthrough: a project manager walks the finished install with your team and resolves punch-list items before leaving.

Most projects move from signed agreement to completed installation within a few weeks, depending on lot size, permitting, and final project scope.

Heat Damage Adds Up Fast on an Open Lot

Texas heat affects dealership lots year-round, but the cost is highest from April through October when asphalt temperatures can top 160 degrees. Dealerships call us when: 

  • Inventory shows signs of heat damage, from faded paint and cracked interiors to tire wear that can affect resale value.
  • Buyers avoid walking the lot during peak afternoon heat, which can cost sales opportunities from May through September.
  • A lot expansion or renovation creates the right time to build in shade before retrofitting becomes more expensive.
  • Service lanes need coverage to protect vehicles at intake and keep advisors more comfortable during hot workdays.

Not sure how much coverage you need? Contact us and we will recommend a layout based on your inventory flow and traffic.

Dealership Shade Structure FAQs for New Braunfels, TX

How much do dealership shade structures cost in New Braunfels, TX?

Cost depends on covered vehicle positions, fabric grade, and site conditions like soil type. Submit the form for an estimate specific to your lot.

How long does installation take?

Most projects take a few weeks from fabrication through install; larger multi-structure jobs take longer with added engineering and permitting.

Will a shade structure interfere with my lot lighting?

Yes. We design around existing poles, signage, and drainage, and lighting integrates directly into the structure during fabrication.

Can I add coverage in phases?

Yes. Many dealerships start with customer-facing areas or high-value inventory sections, then expand coverage over time.

Do you work with dealer groups across multiple locations?

Yes. Each site gets its own design and engineering review, and we coordinate timelines across all your locations.

Are your structures engineered to code for Texas lots?

Yes. Every structure meets or exceeds applicable building codes with a minimum 90 mph wind rating, and we pull permits when required.

Do the warranties transfer if the dealership is sold?

Yes. Both the 20-year steel and 10-year fabric warranties transfer with ownership, and we can align terms across multiple rooftops.

Featured Reviews

Lilly A. | Preschool Owner | San Antonio, TX

“I highly recommend ShadePro for their quality shade products. I have purchased two shades over the years for my childcare facility and will likely purchase a third in the near future for my home. Not only are these shades very attractive and well made, but the customer service and installation process was exceptional as well. I look forward to a long partnership with ShadePro for my future shades for my business and home.”

Bill D. | Residential Customer | Seguin, TX

“If you are looking for a company to install a shade structure on your property look no further. My wife and I hired ShadePro to install a cover for our pool deck. Their staff was extremely courteous, professional and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the shade we needed for our deck. The cover came early and they installed it in one day. The installation crew cleaned up after themselves and were very accommodating to any requests I may have had. All in all I give everyone invovled in this project a perfect 10.”

Rob A. | Chief Operating Officer | Austin, TX

“I operate a vet clinic that has a parking lot totally exposed to the searing summer sun. We needed a shade solution not only to make things more comfortable for our clients, but to provide a cooler walking surface for pets. Mission accomplished! ShadePro came out to survey the property and was very accommodating to my unique dimensional needs (I did a 70-foot long cantilever-style shade). The finished product was perfection! The crew was in-and-out of there in one day. Everything was done properly and to spec. I look forward to calling in ShadePro again when it comes time to shade more areas!”
