Tensile Fabric Structures explained

A Tensile form, as its name suggests, is under tension throughout its entire shape. This provides many benefits over traditional shelters, including:

Long lasting canopies with a life expectancy of minimum 15-20 years minimum
Permanent cover - canopies are fully engineered for UK conditions
Shelter & shade protection using UV resistant and water proof fabric
Organic form compliments for outdoor & landscaped areas
Durable finishes are ideal for busy or 'high-traffic' areas
Strength & safety by fabricating with architectural grade materials
Environmentally sensitive - uses less materials & fabric is recyclable
Easily maintained with low replacement costs

Canopies should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months and full operations and maintenance manuals are provided after installation. Fabric architecture offers specific maintenance packages, available on request.
