Current Situation and Solution: Design and Construction of Pyramid Canopy – Optimizing Geometry and Function
Conic awnings are one of the most popular shapes and are widely used by customers, along with Hypar awnings. This is a special form of tensioned canvas roof, simulating the structure and tension properties of an umbrella to create sturdy and creative awning structures. Each conical awning can have from one to many cones, depending on the density and area of use. Conical awnings are considered a new upgraded version of sail awnings because of their flexibility, usually consisting of two components: the cone top and the cone edge. The cone top is fixed by a load-bearing frame, while the cone edge can act as a sail awning, contributing to the diversity of architects' designs and investors' choices.

Technical Requirements Analysis & Solution Context
Traditional roof forms often have high and low edges, creating a horizontal pyramid shape (like tile roofs, corrugated iron roofs) or a flat shape but with a slope (like glass roofs), to facilitate rainwater drainage. However, they often require a heavy auxiliary frame system for the covering material. Pyramid roofs are more difficult in geometry than sail-shaped roofs, requiring the design process to be carefully calculated with high precision to avoid wrinkles during the process of stretching the canvas, especially at the top of the pyramid. Moreover, to optimize the ability to cover, the roof shape must be customized depending a lot on the influence of the current situation such as existing buildings, trees, and the roof height must be carefully calculated to meet the effective drainage of rainwater.

Technical Solutions
Design and construction of pyramid-shaped awnings using specialized tensioned canvas materials provide a light, elegant solution in shape and optimizes interior space.
Design & Construction Process
During the design process, the pyramidal roof can have one or more columns, these columns can be grounded or suspended and balanced by tension cables. To optimize the shielding ability, the roof shape must be customized depending on the influence of the current situation such as existing structures and trees. The height of the pyramidal roof must be carefully calculated to meet the need for rainwater drainage. The load-bearing frame system can utilize the structure of existing structures such as beams or concrete columns to minimize the cost of materials for the roof's load-bearing structure. The design and construction of the pyramidal roof is a combination of straight, long, strong lines of the steel structure and the soft curves of the canvas material. The creativity of the architects and the meticulous calculation of the structural engineer will create canvas roofs of stunning beauty, optimize functionality and reduce the load of the iron structure to the maximum.
Cost & Construction Time
The unit price of a pyramid-shaped canvas roof project depends a lot on the design, shape, size, and canvas material. The construction time also varies, but on average it will take about 1 month. If there is a requirement to use imported materials or materials to increase luxury, the cost will also be higher and the construction time may also be longer.
Pyramid Roof Maintenance
With a smooth surface, helping to reduce friction and prevent dust from sticking to the surface, the general tensile roofing systems and the pyramid roofing in particular have the ability to self-clean, helping customers to minimize maintenance costs during use. However, to maintain freshness over time, proper cleaning and maintenance still need to be performed, usually annually. The average life of an outdoor tensile roofing is 20-30 years, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Results and Performance Evaluation
The design and construction of pyramid-shaped awnings provide a unique roofing architecture, covering all covered spaces with impressive curved lines. The conical shape helps to drain rainwater from stagnating on the roof surface easily. The simple structural system makes the design and construction of pyramid-shaped awnings easier and more cost-effective than other roofing systems. In addition, pyramid-shaped awnings can also be applied to many types of works, from auxiliary spaces to main spaces. Not only does it have the function of shading from the sun and rain, the awnings also have many other outstanding advantages such as: creating highlights for the work, resisting ultraviolet rays and UV rays extremely well, compact design, easy to install, large coverage. This is a comprehensive architectural solution, bringing both functionality and aesthetic beauty to the work.
