Steel Structure Shades
DETCO Steel Structures form the robust backbone of our tensile shades, canopies, and outdoor coverings in Saudi Arabia. Using high-quality galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel frames engineered with SAP2000/ETABS for superior load-bearing, wind resistance (up to 150 km/h), and corrosion protection via hot-dip galvanization and advanced coatings. Ideal for car parking shades, gate entrances, walkways, schools, and public areas – ensuring long-term stability and safety

Product Overview
DETCO Steel Structures are precision‑engineered frameworks supporting tensile membranes, shades, and architectural coverings. Fabricated from premium materials (galvanized steel Q235/equivalent, ordinary metal, aluminum, stainless steel) to withstand extreme Saudi environments: high heat, wind, sand, humidity, and erosion.
We conduct detailed structural studies using software like SAP2000, ETABS 2000, and ISTAD 2000, integrated with AutoCAD drawings to select sections based on weight, forces, stiffness, and site conditions. Connections use high‑strength solid screws/bolts (grades 5.8, 8.8, 10.9) per American/German codes, resisting tension, pressure, shear, and cutting forces.
Protection treatments vary by exposure: hot‑dip galvanization (thermal), cold galvanization, regular paint, fiery paint, epoxy paint, or thermal powder‑coated for maximum durability (20+ years). Versatile for conical, hypar, curved, arched, or multi‑bay designs in car parks, gates, walkways, schools, pools, and public spaces. Turnkey fabrication ensures quality control, compliance with international standards, and seamless integration with premium membranes (PVC/PVDF/PTFE).
