Custom tensile structures can be almost anything. If you can dream it in fabric, challenge us to make it. Our design and engineering departments have over 30 years experience in delivering beautiful custom fabric and steel structures. The three basic forms which all tensile fabric designs originate from are hypar, conic and barrel - these shapes create strength, durability and an organic vibrance.
Fabric canopies are manufactured using two types of architectural grade fabrics;
- PVC coated polyester available in a range of colors. This fabric is color-fast with a life expectancy of 15 years and is a total UV-blocking and water proof material.
- Environmentally friendly Solar Glass Weave is available in a variety of colors, with a life expectancy of 30 years. The fabric blocks harmful UV-B and UV-C rays and allows the good rays to come through so plants and grass can flourish. Fabrics have excellent resistance to mold, pollution and day to day grime build-up. All fabrics are fire NFPA 701 California State Fire Marshal which means they do not support combustion or produce flaming droplets.
