Steel Canopies, Arcotechos and Roofs in Cancún
Walk any Cancún supermanzana and you will see them: arcotechos over school patios and basketball courts, parking canopies at plazas and condos, roofs over workshops and markets. After every hurricane season, some of them are missing. We build roofs and canopies for Cancún with the uplift calculated and the anchorage engineered, for schools, condos, plazas, gas stations, workshops and hotel entrances.
Cancún Roofs We Build
School & Court Roofs
Arcotechos and steel roofs over patios and courts in schools and sports centres across the city.
Condo & Plaza Parking
Parking canopies for condos in Puerto Cancún, Tajamar and plazas on the main avenues.
Gas Stations
Forecourt canopies built to brand specifications on Cancún's avenues and highways.
Workshops & Markets
Clear-span roofs for workshops, markets and storage yards on the outskirts.
Hotel Entrances
Architectural drop-off canopies and covered walkways in the Hotel Zone.
Re-Roofing After Storms
Replacement of damaged canopies with uplift-rated designs.
Why Cancún canopies fail
Most damaged canopies we see in Cancún after a storm failed at the same points: sheeting with too few screws at the edges, purlins on light clips, and columns anchored only for gravity. In open areas — school patios, parking lots, the Hotel Zone — the wind reaches full speed with nothing to slow it. We calculate uplift for the exposure and design the full load path from sheet to foundation.
Schools, condos and plazas
For schools we work in holidays and weekends; for condos we coordinate with the administration and keep parking partly available; for plazas we phase so businesses stay accessible. Canopies over parking can be designed solar-ready, a growing request in Cancún as electricity tariffs rise.
