AUTO CANOPIES
Protection from heat, hail, UVs, tree sap & bird droppings
A car is one of the largest investment a person will make in his or her lifetime. Failing to protect that investment from environmental hazards such as hail, UV radiation, and bird droppings will result in physical damage, a shoddy appearance, and a loss of resale value. A SouthernShade Solutions shade canopy will protect your vehicles and enhance the appearance of your home with years of maintenance-free shelter.


• SouthernShade Solutions Car Ports are easily erected and provide years of permanent protection


Any time you can park your car in the shade (unless the shade comes from a sappy tree),
you're contributing to longer life for your car.

Boost the visual appeal of your home
The addition of our permanent fabric shade structures to your home will increase the "livability" of your residence, expanding environmentally protected areas for year-round activities. SouthernShade canopies are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors to fit the physical requirements of each site. Whether you're planning to sell your home or seeking to protect your car, truck, or boat, a permanent shade structure will add value to your property.


• SouthernShade Solutions auto and truck carport covers are available in Forest Green and other lovely colors that will compliment any propery.

The effects of Sun and UV radiation
The sun's heat and radiation affects a number of materials in a car. Over the long term, starting from dulling, deterioration, and cracking and peeling of paintwork, the ultra violet radiation from the sun also affects the life of dashboard plastic, seat upholstery and other plastic and rubber parts such as bumpers and window lining. Fading, discoloration and cracking are the common side effects of leaving the car often in the sun. Usually the damage is permanent: once it has occurred, the only solution is to replace and repaint.

You need a southern shade solution! Our cover will protect your car or boat from harmful UV radiation by blocking up to 95% of the destructive rays of the sun.


Hail damage
If you live in "Hail Alley", opting not to protect your automobile from hail damage is the equivalent of owning a home in the midst of a forest without fire insurance. Hail damage to exposed cars and boats occurs every day during the Spring and Summer seasons when heat-powered thunderstorms sweep the Midwest.

A single hail storm can cause thousands of dollars to your unprotected vehicle - pitting the paint, breaking glass, and denting the metal surfaces. Our pre-manufactured car shelters are designed to withstand hailstones the size of baseballs and larger, diverting the missiles harmlessly to the ground.


Bird droppings and tree sap
Tree sap or resin contains an acid that interacts with modern automobile paints and can quickly damage a car's surface if not removed. The sap also acts as a magnet for other harmful substances such as dust, grime and dirt.

This is not just a southern shade problem, but a problem anywhere a car is left outside. These deposits are often overlooked and accumulate over time. By the time the car owner sees the damage, it is often irreversible or requires substantial expense to restore the painted surface.

A SouthernShade Cover is a physical barrier to most solid matter like droppings or sap as well as radiant heat and UV radiation.
