Tensile fabric canopies and roofs have an advantage in that they are light weight, hence less materials are used to support them, ensuring cost savings.
Tensile fabric roofs are also unique in architectural design, offering aesthetics that are good for attracting customers if its a business or ‘feel good’ achievement if its a personal residential house or office.
Tensile fabric structures can also span and cover large surface areas, hence suitable for large buildings such as churches or malls.
a4architect.com provides custom made bespoke designs for tensile fabric roofs and canopies that will fit within a particular client’s architectural requirements, budget and space. Structural design to ensure the tensile fabric tents withstand wind pressure is also included in the design.
Businesses such as petrol stations that need to stand out from the crowd are very suitable for use of the tensile fabric canopy roofs so as to attract more customers.
Churches and social halls that are on leased lands and thus require frequent moving are also suitable for using this tensile fabric tent method.
Nairobi Chapel along Ngong road has already utilized this method to house themselves.
The popular Churchill show on TV also utilises these tensile tents due to their ability to house large numbers and be easily dismantled and assembled at different sites.
Tensile fabric canopies are also a good way for covering outdoor sitting areas for restaurants.
