DSA Approved Structures
M Bar C Construction is changing the future of schools and government facilities through our DSA projects. M Bar C offers a growing catalog of DSA Approved structures (Division of State Architect Approved Structures).
From solar canopies to steel shade structures, our DSA Approved structures can be used for providing shade or a combination of shade and solar electricity. With the convenience of pre-approved plans, you can start your project almost immediately and M Bar C self-performs with highly trained crews that will complete your project in a timely manner without sacrificing quality.
DSA Approved Structures
Our DSA Approved all-steel shade structures are designed specifically to meet the needs of California schools.
- Available in sizes from 400 to 10,000 square feet and will meet the seismic, soils, and wind load requirements of almost any California School. In cases of extreme seismic, wind, or snow loads, a custom structure can be engineered to meet the DSA’s requirements.
- Shade structures are at their most efficient when used in 9’ X 9’ Modules. The 9’ X 9’ module will accommodate a standard school table including access. For example, 44’ X 18’ Smart Canopy is made up of 10 9’ X 9’ modules and so will comfortably cover 10 standard lunch tables. Each table will seat 6-10 students depending on grade level. Thus, a 44’ X 18’ shade structure will cover 60-100 students.
- All-steel construction means big savings on maintenance. Steel shelters are vandal-proof and are built using decking and trim with a baked enamel finish, galvanized framing and hardware, and tube steel columns.
- M Bar C’s years of experience with the DSA mean jobs go smoothly and are completed on time with the documentation required to close them out. M Bar C’s focus on customer service and value means the best value in permanent shade.
