Fans and local visitors have a chance to see the beautiful stadium on Daniels Parkway, just East of the Interstate.
While there, visitors can simply look up and see the beautiful craftmanship of the Grandstand Canopy installed by West Coast FL Enterprises, Inc.
The Grandstand Canopy is constructed using heavy guage steel EPIC deck panels fastened to a structrural steel frame. If you have an eye for detail, you will notice the custom column collars that collect the rain water and redirect it to the ground level. West Coast FL Enterprises was pleased to be a part of the JetBlue Park Red Sox Spring Training Facility’s construction and design.
West Coast FL Enterprises worked with Cives Contracting, Manhattan Construction and the arhitect; Populous.

Besides being beautiful, tile roofing can be a practical choice for your home. Professionally designed and installed tile roofs can last 25-35 years when properly installed, and many tile manufacturers provide a long warranty on the material. As with most anything, there are also some disadvantages to installing a tile roof.
Unlike some roofing options, a tile will not rot in Florida’s wet summers. It’s also not susceptible to pest damage. Compared to a shingle roof, both concrete or clay tiles will have a longer lifespan, so it can be a cost-effective solution if you consider the entire life of your roof.
However, tile does cost more than wood shakes or asphalt shingles. There is also the maintenance factor to be considered. Tile Roofs require far more maintenance than your average sloped roof material. First of all, you will find that they require periodic cleaning due to their susceptible nature to mildew.
Also, you will want to check at least annually for any broken tile. Once a tile on your roof breaks, any high winds that come along can breach the system and “bye-bye” tile!
