Offering Tensile Structure design services, and enhancing outdoor spaces with the best in fabric detailing and engineering.

Fabric structures provide great opportunities to cover outdoor spaces in a uniquely different way from traditional building methods. The eye catching tensioned membranes are universally appealing on account of their sweeping curves, stainless steel rigging components and rugged durability.

Offering permanent protection with minimal maintenance, architectural fabric structures are built to withstand all weather conditions for up to twenty years or more. The special qualities of a tensile membrane allow for a very lightweight and elegant supporting structure, designed to fulfil client requirements efficiently and economically.

Whether you're looking for creative ideas, budget prices, or need an in-depth resource to help you plan your fabric architecture, we hope this site gives you the information you're looking for.
