Tensioned fabric structures consist of a steel framework with hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offering durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.

Shapes for tension fabric structures include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities. Rows of sail canopies can be used to dramatic effect.
