Tensile cover structures are characterised by the tensioning of a membrane system, typically with wire or cable. Using tension throughout structure provides the membrane with critical structural support. Tensile architecture is the most common form of thin-shell structures.
Tensile cover structures are lightweight compared to other types of construction, but also extremely strong. They are designed to withstand even the most severe weather conditions, providing protection from both the rain and sun.
Usage/Implement: Tensile cover are cost-effective solutions to create facades, building envelopes, open air canopies, stadia, athletic facilities, special use facilities, interiors, sculptures, and environmental response structures.
