Basic Tensile Forms

There are three basic forms of a tensile structure, all of which

incorporate double curvature – this creates the strength, organic

shape and durability.

Tensile Fabric Structures explained

A tensile form, as its name suggests, means the fabric is under tension throughout its entire shape. This provides

incredible strength and longevity. All our designs are engineered to withstand extremes of weather from high

winds, rain and snow fall. Our exemplary safety record is evidence of this attention to detail and experience.

Modifications & Accessories• Modifications to leg heights for specific

installation requirements are available

• Fixings for lighting, AV, heating and

electrical systems

• Padded leg-wrap kits

• Go green with wind turbines and

photo-voltaics

• Long lasting canopies with a life-expectancy

of 10-30+ years

• Permanent cover - canopies are fully

engineered for all predicted weather conditions

• Shelter & shade protection using waterproof

and UV resistant fabric

• Strength and safety by fabricating with

architectural grade materials

• Easily maintained with low canopy

a world of colourOur new range of PVC fabrics is fully recyclable using the latest technology pioneered by Serge Ferrari SA. Using their Texyloop

recycling system in conjunction with their chemical reclamation process, effectively saves up to 80% of the environmental impact as

new "raw" materials are created. Our Silicone Glass Weave fabric is even more environmentally friendly!

Fabrics have excellent resistance to mould,

pollution and day-to-day grime build-up. All

fabrics are architectural grade and fire retardant

to BS567 or BS476 part 7 class 1, and part 6

class 0 - this means they do not support

combustion or produce flaming droplets.

“The canopies have added an extra dimension tothe design of our new academy building here atBulwell. The courtyard that they cover is themain movement area for staff and studentsbetween lessons and the canopies provideshelter from any inclement weather but at thesame time allowing air and light into the space.

When we first discussed covering the courtyard,I imagined a huge marquee type effect but thecanopies are something completely different,providing a real ‘wow’ factor when visitors firstwalk in.

We have even used the space to house camps forour partner primary schools and this wasincredibly successful. Add to all of this the factthat the canopies collect rain water which feedsour toilet flushing system as part of oursustainability strategy you can understand whywe are delighted with them.”

“I was very happy with the entire

process from placing the order, to

the scheduling of works - all the way

through to installation and handover.

The end user wanted a really grand

entrance focal point for their office

and your canopy does just the job.

I will definitely recommend you for

future projects. Newcastle, as

beautiful as it is, gets a lot of rain so

canopies are always needed.”Paul Wilson, Tolent Construction

square base offering an abundance

of coverage. This multi-use

structure works in a variety of

applications. Go bold by mixing
