Planning a Shelter Project

How to Create a Beautiful Outdoor Space

From large and mini shelters, kiosks, pergolas, and gazebos, we manufacture a wide variety of all-steel shelters that create beautiful outdoor environments where communities can play, relax, and live. Whatever the location, our shelters provide sun and weather protection while also beautifying the outdoor space. We’ll guide you through the process of starting a shelter project.

1) Determine the Type of Shelter You Want

Consider your space and purpose for your shaded gathering space to determine what kind of shelter would be best. Shelter shapes include hip end, gable end, octagon, and hexagon in various colors, sizes, and other add-ons.

Options and Accessories

  • Ornamental lattice, handrails, and corner bracing
  • Lightning protection
  • Column upgrades
  • Base shoe covers
  • Weather vanes
  • Cupolas
  • And more!

2) Budget

While the cost will vary depending on the type of shelter you choose, there are other costs to be expected when planning for a new shelter. It’s important to have detailed information about what to budget for.

Budget Breakdown

  • 60% Engineering and installation
  • 30% Product
  • 10% freight

3) Considering a Custom Shelter?

We at Superior Shelter can create a custom structure to shade your site. Our portfolio includes custom cantilevered bleacher shelters, themed shelters, picnic pavilions, and modern shelters. Contact us to start a custom shelter!

4) Manufacturing Process

For standard shelters, our manufacturing and delivery process takes about five weeks or 35 days after your order is placed. The best care and welding techniques are used as we prepare the steel, primer coating, and welds to create your structures.
