Parkhurst Shopping Centre needed to give shoppers a cooler, more comfortable walk from their cars, and VECTOR Shade Structures delivered a series of cantilevered car park specific mesh structures across the car park. Their bold rust-orange canopies form neat rows over the parking bays, visible from above as a striking pattern against the surrounding landscape.
Each canopy is made from Monotec 370 shade fabric, chosen for its durability and high UV protection, while the supporting steel frames are hot dipped galvanised to withstand constant sun and weather exposure. Designed as cantilevered structures with no obstructive centre posts within the bays, these commercial shade structures keep parked cars cool without getting in the way of everyday car park use.
The result is a shopping centre car park that’s noticeably more comfortable to use, reflecting VECTOR’s broader experience delivering shade sail solutions for retail car parks throughout Queensland.
