Longhorn Series™
Commercial Retractable System
The Longhorn Series™ is heavy-duty retractable coverage for commercial Texas projects — restaurants, churches, schools, hotels, apartment communities and municipal sites. Larger projections, heavier frames, commercial motors, wind-rated builds.
About the Longhorn Series™
Built for Texas. Powered by Solair®.
Built on the commercial side of the Solair® platform, the Longhorn Series™ uses heavier-gauge extruded aluminum, larger arm assemblies, commercial-rated tubular motors and wind-load engineered mounts. We pair that with full project management — site visits, drawings, engineering letters, permits, scheduled install and warranty service — so property owners and GCs can hand the cover scope to one trusted Texas crew.
