The rooftop car park at Brisbane Markets in Rocklea needed genuine weather protection for parked vehicles, not just shade, so VECTOR Shade Structures delivered a cantilevered waterproof car park structure spanning row after row of parking bays. The sweeping curved canopies project from single-sided columns, keeping each bay clear and easy to access.
The canopy is clad in Ferrari 832 fabric, a fully waterproof membrane engineered to shed rain while standing up to constant sun exposure across this exposed rooftop site. The supporting steel frame is hot dip galvanised for long-term corrosion resistance. This large-scale application reflects VECTOR’s broader capability in commercial shade structures for car parks and public infrastructure.
The completed structure now protects vehicles and pedestrians from sun and rain alike, adding real everyday value to one of Brisbane’s busiest commercial precincts.
