Weatherford Carports is the Weatherford starting point for business parking covers. Request a free quote and a local carport installer will call you back to discuss layout, permits and scheduling. Covered parking protects company trucks and staff vehicles from hail, keeps customers cooler when they get back in their car, and can shelter equipment between jobs.
Commercial projects carry more planning than a home carport. There are usually more spaces, more traffic around the site, and more agencies with something to say about it.
Lay out the parking first
Count the spaces you want to cover and how vehicles move through the lot. Posts need to land where they do not block parking stall lines, drive lanes or fire lanes. Long rows of single-slope or double-slope covers work well for staff parking. A wider clear-span cover may suit fleet trucks or equipment that need to swing in from different angles.
If delivery trucks or trailers use the lot, note their height and turning paths.
Permits, engineering and site conditions
Commercial covers in a city almost always need permits, and many require engineered, stamped drawings. Check with the city's development office early. If the lot is paved, the installer will need to know whether anchors go into the existing asphalt or concrete, or whether new footings are needed. Drainage from a large roof area also has to go somewhere that does not flood the lot.
Ask who prepares the drawings and who submits them.
Working around an open business
Most businesses cannot close their parking lot for a week. Ask how the installer stages material, closes off work areas and keeps traffic flowing. Phased installation across sections of the lot is common. For farm or ranch operations covering tractors and trailers, see equipment covers, and for footings and slabs see carport pads and anchoring.
Frequently asked questions

Often, with asphalt anchors or new footings. The installer and any required engineer decide what the lot can hold.
