Places That Can Use a Shelter
Outdoor structures are important additions to exterior living spaces or public places. This type of construction provides protection from the elements, defines space, and offers a retreat from daily stresses and bad weather - especially when it is too hot or too wet. Contributing to the overall aesthetics and usability of outdoor space, building a shelter will not only protect the community but also safeguard your recreation or commercial investment for many years to come.
Common Uses for Shelters
Outdoor structures are increasingly common these days, creating eye-catching community spaces while protecting patrons from many of nature’s elements. Shelters are available in a full spectrum of shapes and sizes to meet the needs of any outdoor application. The customizability of shelters makes them the ideal choice for a wide range of outdoor spaces. They are the perfect structures for:
Park Shelters
Relaxing and enjoying the outdoors has never been easier with shelters. Since these splendid structures offer protection from the West Coast weather, they are excellent places to spend time with friends and family appreciating everything beautiful British Columbia has to offer.
Sporting Events
Shade structures offer a cool environment for outdoor sports. Perfect at the side of a soccer pitch, baseball field, or a golf course, they are instrumental in providing players reprieve from the rain or scorching sun and heat, and they provide a place for those not in on the action to rest or coach from.
Bus Stop Shelters
Waiting in the pouring rain for a bus is no fun for anyone. Even worse is missing the bus because you were waiting in a building to stay dry. You can improve your customers' experience at your business by creating an inviting, dry, and protected waiting area.
Information Booths
An outdoor shelter is a great spot for an information booth. Whether you need a space to display a bulletin board with maps and information or create an area for staff to answer questions, a shelter is a perfect place to protect visitors and employees from the weather. Plus, the aesthetic design of the shelter makes it welcoming and easy to find.
Performance Spaces
Shelters can easily be made into outdoor performance spaces by adding a raised platform or foundation. Using an outdoor structure will not only showcase the band but also protect their instruments if it starts to rain. A shelter also lowers the likelihood of weather-related cancellations.
Hot Tub Shelter
Nothing beats soaking the day’s stresses away in a hot tub. You can enjoy your hot tub without ever having to worry about the weather under the shelter of a sturdy and dry structure.
Outdoor Dining Areas
Restaurants have had to expand their outdoor dining options because of the pandemic. But as the weather gets colder and wetter, many businesses want to offer customers a little more coverage. Shelters afford overhead protection without impacting the outdoor dining experience. Providing outdoor dining is also a great method of attracting passersby.
Shelters are popping up everywhere, providing valuable protection for any outdoor area, from parks and bus stops to sporting events and fields. Their popularity is well deserved. Besides protecting you from harmful UV rays and the pelting rain, these outdoor structures come with a host of other benefits that are simply too good to pass up.
