We Parked a Pickup Truck on Our Roof — Here’s Why
At Suncoast Enclosures, we believe in building outdoor spaces that are as durable as they are beautiful. But we don’t just make bold claims about strength—we back them up. That’s why we decided to do something a little extreme.
We parked a full-sized pickup truck on top of one of our Louvered Roofs.
And yes, it held. No cracks. No buckling. Just solid strength, exactly as engineered.
Why We Did It
Our Louvered Roof systems are built to handle the toughest climates in North America—from heavy snow loads in Canada to intense summer heat in the southern U.S. But we wanted to demonstrate what “engineered for strength” really means in a way you wouldn’t forget.
What better way than driving a 5,000+ lb truck onto one?
Built for Real-World Weather
Suncoast Louvered Roofs are more than a luxury upgrade for your outdoor space. They’re high-performance structures, custom-engineered for your environment. Whether you’re facing blizzards or blazing sun, our system is designed to:
- Withstand extreme snow loads thanks to commercial-grade aluminum beams and precise support spacing
- Seal tightly against rain, keeping your space dry underneath
- Open and close with the touch of a button, giving you control over light, shade, and airflow
- Last for decades with low-maintenance, corrosion-resistant materials
We don’t use cookie-cutter kits or off-the-shelf parts. Every Suncoast project is designed specifically for your home, your needs, and your climate.
