Products and applicationsTensile Structures for Courtyards and Outdoor Spaces
A tensile structure can cover an open area while giving the roof a defined shape. We design, engineer, fabricate and install tensile shades around the required footprint, support positions and appearance.
Tell us what happens beneath the canopy, which routes must stay open and whether the project already has an architectural design.
Request a Quotation ↗ Develop the shape around the space
Entrances, courtyards and shared outdoor areas each present different restrictions. The layout needs to consider column locations, nearby buildings, clearances and the intended shaded area.
If you have a concept image, send it together with the actual site dimensions. A reference image helps explain the desired appearance, while the site information defines what can be proposed.
Specify the membrane for the application
We offer HDPE, PVC-coated polyester, PTFE and PVDF-coated fabric options. The exact membrane is selected for the design and performance requirements. Tell us if rain cover, daylight, fabric colour or a named specification is part of the brief.
Steel finish options include painted, powder-coated and hot-dip galvanized systems. Project-specific marine coating requirements can also be reviewed.
Confirm interfaces before fabrication
Identify adjacent buildings, landscaping and routes that must remain accessible. Foundations and excavation may be included or assigned to your civil contractor, as agreed for the project.
Our scope covers design and engineering through supply, fabrication and installation. The schedule is confirmed after we review the size, specification and site conditions.
Replacing an existing tensile covering
For replacement fabric or repairs, send photographs and any available information about the current structure. We review the frame and fixing arrangement before confirming a replacement approach.

We respond within 24 hours. Our Dammam office serves projects across Saudi Arabia, including all seven priority cities listed below.
Questions before requesting a quotation
What information is needed for a tensile shade design?
A site layout, the area to cover, its intended use and the required clear height are helpful starting points. Share any preferred support positions or consultant requirements, and we’ll review the membrane shape and structural scope with you.
How are the tensile membrane and support positions selected?
The span, shape, load requirements, drainage and available attachment points guide selection. HDPE, suitable coated polyester or PTFE options are reviewed against their product data and the particular design.
Can waterproofing and fire performance be specified for a tensile structure?
Yes. Send the waterproofing and fire-performance requirements with your inquiry. We’ll review suitable membrane products, supporting documents and canopy details so the proposed system matches the agreed specification.
Can an existing tensile membrane be replaced?
An existing tensile membrane can be replaced where the retained support system is suitable. We’ll review its shape, connections, condition and measurements before recommending a compatible covering and confirming the replacement scope.
