For manufacturers of tents and canopies, they face an important task. They have to find a way to make these tents strong while also leaving a lot of space. That is, after all, the hallmark of a great tent. One way in which most manufacturers try to achieve this is through the use of tensile fabrics.

If you are at loss on how why tensile fabric structures are so important to tent-making, this article is for you. This article will discuss the immense benefits that come from using tensile fabrics.

Top benefits when you use tensile fabric structure
1. They are appealing
The first thing that catches your attention with tensile fabrics is that they are very appealing. With fabric structures textiles come very few structures. This means that the designs can be electric and pleasing to the eye.

When this is combined with how light tensile fabrics are, you get the complete package. Tensile fabrics are just irresistible to many manufacturers.

2. Available in various shapes and colors
To add to their aesthetic value, tensile fabrics are also very colorful. Because of their unique characteristics, they can be made in various colors. This allows users to enjoy selecting what they want. In the world of manufacturing, having versatility certainly matters. Tensile fabrics have this in abundance.

3. Weather Gods
People who use tents for events and other important situations dread one thing. Harsh weathers. This can destabilize tents and leave you in a frenzy. However, with tensile fabrics, you are a bit safer. Tensile fabrics are renowned for being durable. It gets better.

They are resistant to some of the harshest weather. So tents and canopies made from tensile fabrics are more likely to last longer. That is the dream of every buyer.

4. Tensile Fabrics are very expansive
One of the signs of a good tent is very expansive areas that need little or no support. For most tents, the structure used makes things very difficult. However, with tensile fabrics, this is a bit different. Tensile fabrics are known to be very expansive.

This gives people the room to move about while keeping their tents solidly grounded.

5. They are strong
For a structure that has often been described as lightweight, tensile fabrics are also remarkably strong. They combine this amazing feature with the ability to absorb and reflect light. Tensile fabrics are simply the best option when producing tents.

Conclusion
So there you have it! Tensile fabrics are really a class apart in the tent industry. If you are looking to get a tent or hire one in the future, make sure that it is made from tensile fabrics. Trust me, it simply does not get any better than that. You will be immensely satisfied at the end.

Tensile structures are great for tent making. They make the tent more stable and durable. They're cost-effective and easy to manage.  Tensile membrane structures are structural features that are sustained by tension, not compression or bending.

There are three (3) types of tensile structures; they include Linear tensile structures, Surface-stressed tensile structures and, Three-dimensional tensile structures.

Tensile structures are cost-effective and have a wide variety of uses, so these types of architectures are become more and more popular around the world now. Including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America……

Tensile structures are structural arrangements of elements in a way that the elements only carry tension. This type of structure does not carry compression or bending. It involves the application of tension principles to building elements. With regular constructions, the gravitational force is used to sustain the mass holding them in compression.

The tensile structure uses tension to sustain constructions instead of compression. In tensile structures, the load-bearing is achieved through tension in most of the structural components. Tension could be said to be the opposite of compression. This is the quality that makes it suitable for tents.

Types of tensile structures:
Tensile structures are classified based upon the type of tensile forces acting in the construction. Tensile structures are classified into three classes. They include:

1. Linear tensile structures

In these types of tension structures, the force acts upon the structures linearly. These structures are sustained by both compression elements and tensile force, but most of the load is carried by the linear tensile force acting within these structures.

 An example of a linear tensile structure is the cable bridge. The pillars of the bridge act as the compression element, while the bulk of the load is carried by the cables which act as the tensile structure. Other examples of linear tensile structures include,

Straight tension cable

Draped cables

Cable-stayed beam

Cable trusses

2. Surface-stressed tensile structures

The surface-stressed tensile fabric structures are those structures whose surface elements can bear the tension. Common examples of surface-stressed tensile structures are the fabric tensile structures. Here, the tension is experienced by specially designed fabrics that are supported by vertical pillars.

Other examples of surface-stressed tensile structures include,

Pneumatically stressed membranes

Pre-stressed membrane

Grindshell

3. Three-dimensional tensile structures

In the three-dimensional tensile structures, all the elements involved are under tension. In these structures, compression is transferred to the ground through a central mast. Examples of the three-dimensional tensile structures can be seen at a sports arena where these structures are used as roofs.

Other examples of the three-dimensional fabric tensile structures include,

Tensegrity structures

3D cable trusses

Uses of tensile structures

Due to how cheap and durable tensile structures are, they have a wide variety of uses. Here are some of the uses of tensile structures,

Building façade
A light roof over a stadium
Roof for an indoor sports arena
Shade for parking areas
Shade for swimming pools
Cantilever structures
Interior design
Temporary structures
Building envelopes
Construction of suspension bridges
Tentmaking

The modern architectural environment of tensioned structure is a comprehensive expression of modern cities, modern culture and society, and the lives and concepts of modern people. In terms of showing the individuality, self-entertainment and diversified environmental space of modern people, tensioned fabric buildings with its unique architectural form will surely be more and more widely used in environmental construction. Today we will understand the applications of membrane structure together. 

1. Comprehensive sports facilities: a large open stadium, the tension shade sails can meet the following conditions: a large-span space, large-area coverage is required, sports pursuit, contemporary style, natural ventilation, natural lighting, no insulation Thermal, special sound treatment.

2. Commercial buildings:  the shade structures have unique architectural recognizability and commercial effects due to novel architectural shapes and special night scenes. The shade awnings can be applied to various commercial buildings, such as large shopping malls, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, etc. , Small booths, booths, shops, pedestrian streets, etc., for large enclosed architectural spaces, thermal design and light environment design should be carried out to meet thermal insulation requirements, specially designed artistic lighting effects, and acoustic environment generally do not have special requirements.

3. Cultural and entertainment facilities: Membrane structure buildings can be applied to various large and small entertainment facilities, including theaters, concert halls, conference halls, museums, exhibition centers, aquariums, marine parks, ecological gardening, etc. According to the specific functions of the building, reasonable membrane materials are selected for sound, light and thermal design. It should be noted that for theaters and concert halls, it is necessary to control echo and noise to ensure music quality; ecological gardening pays attention to light transmittance and ultraviolet light transmittance; exhibition halls focus on thermal insulation and appropriate light transmittance.

4. Transportation facilities: At present, the membrane roof structures have been widely used in large airports, railway stations, highway transportation hubs, shipping centers, small bus stations, toll stations, ship terminals, gas stations, flyover corridors, etc.

5. Industrial facilities: the fabric structures buildings can already be used in various light factory houses, clean plants, warehouses, logistics centers, R&D centers, information centers, etc. Here, membrane structures are mainly used to build large spans, short construction periods, natural lighting and natural lighting. Ventilation, high economy, etc., but the R&D center should meet certain thermal design indicators.

6. Landscape facilities: the canopy structures with its special architectural expression techniques, mainly embodied in the shape, diffuse light transmittance, and colorful, can be widely used in entrances, iconic sketches, pedestrian streets, parking lots, etc., other architectural features need not High demands.

7. Art field: The changeable support structure and flexible membrane materials make the architectural shape more diversified, novel and beautiful, and also embodies the beauty of the architectural structure, and the color is rich, which can create more free architectural shapes and richer language arts.

8. Aviation, aerospace, advertising airships, etc.: Because the membrane structure has good corrosion resistance, heat insulation, flame retardancy and low electromagnetic wave penetration loss, it can be made as an antenna protector; because the membrane is very light, it is easy to make airships and filled with helium Light gas, such as air and nitrogen, make the airship have great load-bearing capacity. At the same time, it is equipped with a certain propulsion power, propeller, signal, and balance system. The lightweight structures can be used for transportation, emergency rescue, event communication relay, and high-altitude communication platform. 

How about the shockproof effect of fabric structure? The construction of tensile structure roof often takes into account the influence of natural factors. Earthquakes are one of the influencing factors of natural disasters. Therefore, when building shade structures, earthquake resistance is one of the primary considerations for membrane structure engineering. We often see reports of earthquake disasters. Many buildings collapsed and razed to the ground in an instant, which made many people sad. In recent years, the roof structure materials imported from abroad are very popular in the construction industry because of their anti-vibration functions. The membrane structure has brought good news to the construction industry.

The presentation of outdoor fabric shade structures is actually high-tech products. These high-tech products can bring us a better quality of life and guarantee. As the saying goes, natural and man-made disasters cannot be avoided, but we can use modern high-tech to compensate and minimize the disasters and losses. This is what we want to see. The tensile structures is a product with the best fire resistance and shock resistance. This high-tech construction product uses the best flame retardant and high temperature resistant ingredients in the membrane materials. This is also the essence of its shock resistance. Moreover, its overall structure is very light and handy, even when an earthquake strikes, it will not cause much damage, which is one of the reasons for the better shock resistance.

The shock resistance of ETFE air structure building is well-known, and the installation of ETFE supported structure is fast, beautiful in shape, short in construction period, and variability in curved surface. Its deformation ability and expansibility result in seismic performance that is 10,000 times stronger than traditional carports. It is also inseparable from its structure. In fact, ETFE inflatable membrane is completed by the four major processes of body shape planning, initial balance planning, load analysis, and cutting analysis. For any membrane structure, there is no stress-free condition at any time, so its rigidity and stability are very strong. Therefore, its cutting must be completed under the combination of accurate structural deformation and stress, which also creates a location with extremely strong seismic performance.

When the typhoon season comes, owners have to worry about whether their outdoor roof fabric structure can withstand the typhoon.

In our tensile awning structures design, the owners in areas with high typhoon incidence often ask whether our design can withstand the 12th typhoon, and some owners even propose to resist the strongest typhoon in history (the 17th typhoon).

In terms of resistance to strong winds in tensile structures construction, our experience is as follows:

1. Design according to national standards;
2. Purchasing raw materials and accessories in accordance with specifications (do not cut corners);
3. Processing according to specifications;
4. Transport in accordance with regulations;
5. The installation is installed according to the specification.

A real engineering company implements architectural engineering with a responsible attitude, doing tensile fabric roof structures with heart!

The construction process is pollution-free and more environmentally friendly: there is no noise, no environmental pollution, and no output of construction waste during the production and construction of the air dome inflatable tent. Steel and concrete buildings cause a lot of construction waste, while air dome buildings can achieve a very large building space with very much less resource consumption.

The construction period is shorter than the traditional concrete buildings. The installation is simple and quick to carry out on-site for all the design and production of membrane and steel materials are prefabricated in the factory, which greatly reduces the difficulty and shortens the whole construction period by more than 1/2, very economical and efficient.

PVDF membrane material with a higher heat reflectivity and heat dissipation rate is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly material, which is highly recommended by the membrane construction industry at home and abroad. The hollow insulation system plus with high-performance membrane fabric can realize only consume 1/10 to 1/4 the energy of the traditional building and the total energy saving is about 80%.

Lower construction costs. For traditional buildings, the larger the span, the bigger the steel beam and the higher the cost. In contrast, the span and cost of air supported pneumatic structures do not change within construction permission, so the total air dome cost is usually only about 1/3 to 1/5 of that of traditional steel and concrete structures.

Lightweight building with larger space. The PVDF material itself is very light with the self-weight of the inner and outer double-layer membrane is less than three kilograms. The use of the high-pressure difference between the indoor and outdoor air dome buildings can achieve a super span of 300 meters, which is beyond the reach of traditional buildings.

The membrane structure carport is a new type of carport canopy that has become popular in China in recent years. Compared with the old carports in the past, it has a lighter structure and is more stable in use. Its material uses a polymer membrane structure material and a supporting member, and can take different shapes according to the position of the supporting member. Therefore, it is widely used in public places such as education, commerce, gymnasium, etc. Steel carports was originally used as a place for vehicles to park, so that vehicles can avoid direct exposure to wind and rain. Used to ensure that bicycles, cars, etc. are not damaged under the shed.

Before the textile membrane structure car parking shade did not appear, the main market was iron carports, aluminum alloy carports, color steel carports, etc. These sail awning are made of metal components, so they have the disadvantage of being bulky and monotonous. Let's compare the metal carports with membrane structure carports. What are the reasons why membrane structure home car parking shade are popular?

First of all, the parking shade for car is a kind of public building, which is funded by the construction unit to build, so the first requirement of this product is durability and stability. The metal carport is all metal support columns, and then the roof is added to the process by welding and other processes. If the polycarbonate material is used as the ceiling, it is fixed with bolts. Compared with the membrane structure, the overall load can be much smaller. 

Light transmittance of car parking shade net: The roof of metal carports is usually made of polycarbonate material or color steel plate. Compared with the film structure, the light transmittance of the fabric structure material reaches 13%, and the membrane structure is used as A polymer cloth will not turn yellow due to long-term direct sunlight, nor will its physical properties change, such as becoming brittle and softening. It is light in weight, and the membrane is a kind of architectural fabric that can withstand high-strength impact and stretching, and can be deformed at will.

Artistic: The most worth mentioning of the membrane shade sails is that it can be composed of different shapes according to the position and height of the supporting members, which is unimaginable on the metal carport. For example, by stretching the cable at the top of the carport, the edge of the membrane structure cloth is turned up. 

Therefore, the sail canopy can be combined with its own soft curves and the surrounding artistic landscape to give people a beautiful enjoyment.At the same time the cost is only half or less of other structure carports.

Membrane structure is also called fabric membrane structure. There is an important link during construction, which is tensile forming. Tension forming of membrane cloth is very critical, and it is also a step we need to strictly implement. So, how should we stretch? Next, let's introduce the specific process.

1. The whole stretching process of the membrane cloth of the tensile car shed is actually to stretch the various cables in place according to the predetermined stress. When stretching, the order and amount of batch tension should be determined, the speed of tension should be controlled, and the value of super-tensile should be determined according to the characteristics of the material. The tensioning process can be to adjust the pre-stress of the cable in batches and stages, and gradually tension to reach the design value; it can also implement synchronous tensioning of the whole. The tension value with control requirements shall be recorded in the construction, and the tension travel record shall be recorded for those without control requirements.

2. When the supporting structure of the tensile parking shed is a rigid boundary, the application of prestressing should be implemented through a special structure. For flexible boundaries, the size of the prestress can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the struts. In the tensile cable membrane structure, the tensile prestress of the membrane material is provided by the cable. It should be noted that the installation of the membrane structure shed cloth should be continuous. When the installation operation cannot be completed continuously in one time, reliable temporary fixing measures should be taken to resist the strong wind that may occur during the construction. At the same time, pay attention to the fact that the membrane surface does not accumulate water.

The stretching of the membrane cloth is not random, but has a sequence. If the operation is improper, it will easily damage the product and cannot be used. Textile membrane structure has a strong sense of time and representativeness. It is a multi-disciplinary cross-application project integrating architecture, structural mechanics, fine chemical engineering, material science, and computer technology. It has a high technical content and artistic appeal. Its curved surface Can be arbitrarily changed according to the architect's design needs.
