Advantages

Tensile structures will give an exciting new look for your customer’s establishment and are a highly effective way to make better use of outdoor space during the summer.

Tensile canopies are designed for permanent use, and once installed they last years. They never have to be taken down, meaning your customer will get years of low-maintenance use out of their new canopy. Depending on the fabric selected, your warranty period can be as long as 25 years.

Tensile structures combine pleasing aesthetics with structural efficiency, using lightweight materials in tension. Shade structures are specifically designed to create shade by using mesh materials. Tensile structures are used for a variety of different applications: large spans are used for event spaces, grandstand covers, stage covers, public gathering spaces etc. Smaller tensile structures are used for outdoor restaurants, rooftop bars, private areas around pools and residences and any place where shade and weather protection is required while maintaining an outdoor atmosphere.
