Tensile Membrane

Structure.

When you need practical, all-weather protection with architectural freedom

Tensile Membrane Structures are made using the same fabric and structural steel as our COLA Canopy® backed with the same industry-leading warranty of 25 years. They provide practical protection for your community from the rain and sun while allowing plenty of natural light to shine through.

Some fabrics incorporate a heat shield to keep the temperature comfortable for your students too. Due to the lightweight nature of the fabric used, there is architectural freedom to create any form imaginable. A Tensile Membrane Structure suits our widest range of applications from playgrounds to walkways, bus-stops, click & collect and eating areas and more. Large or small, these shade structures are in a class of their own.
