The All Hip Steel Shelter is the creme de la creme in outdoor shelters. The beams and roof are constructed of steel. This heavy-duty construction adds a considerable amount of cost to the shelter and labor for construction. In comparison, a fabric shade canopy is up to 75 percent less in retail. Unlike a fabric shade, you do not need to remove the roof in the winters or during severe weather. The video offers a close-up look at a shelter during installation and post-completion.
The shelter from the video includes 24 feet long posts. These long posts come in one-piece and thus are considerably heavy. This weight is easy to manage with a forklift. We suggest a minimum of 4-6 people if you decide to hand-unload a steel shelter. Generally, your shelter purchase will ship on a flatbed truck. This allows you to unload from the side, whereas if we sent the shelter in a traditional enclosed freight container unloading would be difficult.
The shelter from the video is not yet complete. This site awaits installation of a concrete pad or solid surface such as landscape stone. A solid surface allows universal access to the shelter be persons in wheelchairs. The owner will place portable picnic tables and benches under the shelter once the pad is ready for use. Account for all of these options with your personable sales representative. Contact us for assistance in estimating installation and site amenity costs.
