Custom entrance canopies, EV charging bays, inventory covers, and service drive shelters. Douglas Fir V-leg design, IBC engineered, brand-matched to your marque.
Every TimberShield dealership canopy is engineered as a brand statement. Warm Douglas Fir timber, structural glass or metal roofing, integrated lighting, and steel details finished to your marque's color palette — from the concrete pad up.
Painted steel says "commodity." Heavy Douglas Fir timber says "premium." Every high-end brand — from Range Rover to Porsche to Cadillac — is investing in dealership architecture that matches the vehicles inside. Here's what makes TimberShield different:
Timber grain, warm lighting, honest structure. A luxury customer arriving in an $80K vehicle expects to be greeted by architecture that matches. Painted steel and fabric awnings undermine the brand promise; heavy timber reinforces it.
Every TimberShield canopy is pre-engineered for Level 2 chargers and DC Fast Charging. Solar-panel-ready roof options available. As your dealership's EV percentage grows, your infrastructure is already there — no retrofits, no separate structures.
Painted metal canopies get replaced every 15–20 years. TimberShield structures are engineered for 40–60. That's three generations of the vehicles being sold under them. Less lifecycle waste, lower total cost, more permanence.
The first thing a customer sees on arrival. Signature V-leg entry canopy over the drive, warm lighting, weather-tight glass or metal roof. Available in TS-24, TS-44, or TS-64 configurations.
Multi-bay canopy over Level 2 chargers or DC Fast Chargers. Integrated conduit routing, solar-panel-ready roof, brand-color base plate accents. Scales with your EV growth.
Highlight your flagship or new-model vehicles under a permanent architectural cover. Elevates $80K+ inventory above the general lot. Frames the vehicle like a showroom piece — outdoors.
Weather protection for the service intake area. Wide-span TS-64 with extensions handles multiple lanes. Integrated lighting and heaters for cold-weather service starts.
A dedicated canopy for new-vehicle delivery ceremonies and detail bays. Creates a photo-ready moment for the customer handoff, protected from weather, branded with your dealership identity.
Multi-bay carport structures for staff parking, service loaners, and courtesy fleet vehicles. Same architectural quality as customer-facing structures — because employees notice, too.
A single TS-24 canopy over your flagship inventory transforms a parking space into a showroom moment. Customers driving past see the vehicle framed by warm timber and glass — day and night. It works whether you're a Cadillac dealer showing an Escalade V-Series, a Porsche dealer highlighting a new 911, or a Land Rover dealer positioning a Range Rover SV.
Every install is engineered to your site, your brand colors, and your inventory rotation.
Every dealership application starts with one of these structural configurations. All models use the same signature V-leg system, in 18-foot depths, with modular 12-foot bay increments.
Typical dealer projects run 6–10 weeks contract to installed. That covers engineering (1–2 weeks), permit review (varies by AHJ — Seattle is fast, some suburbs slower), footings (2–3 weeks including 7-day cure), and structural install (2–5 days on site depending on model). Most single-canopy projects can hit that window; multi-canopy lot buildouts run 10–14 weeks.
Yes. The Douglas Fir timber itself is finished in a natural or dark-stained penetrating oil. Steel base plates, hangers, and lighting fixtures can be powder-coated to your brand color spec (RAL or Pantone). Custom fabric roof panels with dye-sub printing can carry your logo or brand mark directly. Brand-match customization is standard on dealer projects, not an upgrade.
Yes. Every canopy is pre-engineered with routed conduit paths through the cap beam and down the V-legs to base-plate junction boxes. Level 2 chargers, DC Fast Chargers, and future upgrades are all accommodated. Solar panel roofing is a compatible upgrade for dealerships pursuing net-zero infrastructure goals or utility rebate programs.
All roof options handle hail per IBC standards for your jurisdiction. The 24-gauge commercial metal roof is rated for Class 4 impact resistance (highest UL rating). Structural tempered glass options are engineered for the same wind/snow loads plus hail impact. Fabric canopies handle typical hail; severe-hail regions get metal or glass roof specs.
Yes. Dealer groups running 3+ locations get consolidated project management — one design cycle, one engineering package (site-adjusted per location), one procurement stream from our mill. Rollout schedules are typically staged over 12–24 months to spread capex and minimize per-location disruption.
Structural steel connections: 10 years. Douglas Fir timber against structural defects: 5 years. Roof panels carry the manufacturer's warranty (typically 10–20 years depending on system). Fabric canopies carry a 5-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's UV/tear warranty. Annual maintenance inspection packages are available.

Premium #1 structural 10×14 Douglas Fir timbers — warm, durable, and engineered to IBC standards. Sustainable and renewable. Better looking than steel and warmer too.
Two structural Douglas Fir legs, each set at 20° from vertical (40° included V-angle), meeting at a single steel base plate. Cap beam sits on top of the V — cross beams butt into it with steel hangers. Scales from single bay to 64-foot multi-bay.
Choose from 24-gauge Commercial Metal Roof (included), Tinted Structural Laminated Tempered Glass Roof, or Architectural Fabric Canopy with custom branding. All three engineered for Pacific Northwest snow loads and year-round all-weather use.
Integrated heaters, architectural lighting, ball tray shelving, side wind screens, gutters, ball tracker mounting, and custom net setups — all designed for the system.
