From humble beginnings, civil engineer James Ritter founded RCP Shelters in 1957. His vision was to provide superior quality construction materials at competitive prices. RCP continues this tradition today as a small, third generation, family-owned business. Today, RCP is the industry's most diverse shelter manufacturer. We offer a variety of pre-engineered structures available in laminated wood, tube steel, and fabric.
Our products have been used for numerous purposes, such as: Gazebos, Pavilions, and Shelters; Amphitheaters & Band Shells; Dugouts; Carousel Covers; Playground Covers; Mini Shelters and Kiosks; Trellis, Arbor, and Pergola designs; Enclosed, Concession, and Restroom Shelters.
Each project is individually engineered to meet or exceed local building code and loading conditions. Our flexible designs have met 265 psf snow loads in the Rocky Mountains and 150 mph wind loads in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Whether your next project is small or large, custom or standard, RCP can provide a shelter that meets your needs. Our experienced, friendly staff looks forward to working with you!
