Tensile Fabric Structures

Tensile fabric structures are an excellent choice of shade. They offer a cost-effective solution when compared to traditional building extensions. They are a popular choice for architects and designers when specifying canopies for projects due to the versatility, durability and architectural intrigue they provide to any outdoor area.

As specialists in tensile fabric design, ArcCan has built up a respected collection of standard products regularly deployed at schools, hospitals and public attractions.

All of our tensile fabric structures are waterproof with high quality architectural lacquered PVC coated polyester membranes that offer 15-20 years of use. Our installations are finished with first-class marine grade stainless steel rigging and fittings to maintain a high specification.

Our range of pre-engineered models is varied, from conic gazebos, barrel vault and walkways to entrance canopies & hypar sails. For projects requiring something a little special, we are happy to provide our bespoke drawing services.

Tensile fabric structures are incredibly versatile and cost-effective compared to traditional building extensions. This makes them perfect for many scenarios, including playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, covered walkway links, entrances, performance areas, outdoor seating - the list is endless!

Unlike some other forms of shading, fabric membranes are highly translucent and UV resistant, making it possible to create sheltered areas that are light and airy.

We can offer a turnkey service, from expert design and engineering to manufacturing and installation and an aftercare service that ensures maximum life on your structure. We are just as capable of providing a design only or supply only service if that's what your project requires.
