What is a basketball court canopy?
As one of the types of architectural stretch canvas, basketball court roof stretch canvas is a form of modern architecture. While ensuring all functions of sun and rain protection, it also increases aesthetics and creates an impressive highlight for the entire sports space.
Tensile Membrane Structure is a new type of material structure discovered and developed by the famous German architect Frei Otto. This is a type of structure that applies tension to the frame system and canvas membrane (covering membrane) above, connected by special components. They are known for their lightweight construction and impressive over-span capabilities.
Common problems when constructing basketball court roofs
Different from conventional traditional tarpaulin roofs, stretch tarpaulin roofs are based on the calculation of steel structures and tarpaulin tension to create functionality along with aesthetics suitable to the landscape where it is used. Basketball court roofs favor large span structures to create a spacious, airy space for athletes to practice and compete.
The construction of the basketball court roof is a combination of the straight, long, strong lines of the steel structure and the soft curves of the canvas material. The creativity of architects and the meticulous calculations of structural engineers will give canvas roofs a beautiful beauty.
When designing a basketball court canopy, you should pay attention to harmoniously combining the shape of the tarpaulin with the surrounding space and architecture. However, with some open spaces or areas that need to create highlights such as the reception area, entrance area... you can also be creative with unique shapes such as wavy shapes, seashell shapes... This is also a special element that helps create a highlight for your basketball court roofing system, to attract the impression of customers.
The effectiveness of stretch canvas roofing for basketball courts brings
- Light-weight: canvas roofs have a weight of only one-thirtieth of the weight of traditional construction projects. This also makes canvas stretch roofs basically overcome the difficulties encountered when traditional structures are implemented on large-area projects, especially for large-scale projects and large-scale projects. Other projects require large unobstructed visual space such as basketball courts.
- With outstanding stretching ability of the stretch canvas roofing system. Installing a tensile canvas structure requires less support to span the distance, a plus compared to buildings constructed with traditional materials.
- Symbolic: Roofs made from corrugated iron roofs or traditional light roofs can usually only create flat shapes with characteristic slight curved arches. But when constructing a stretch canvas roof, it can help make the appearance of this area different and more unique, bringing diverse, creative, and modern designs.
