Canopies that span stretched canvas - Optimal solution for public works in 2024

Overspan roofs are always the top choice in constructing large-scale public works such as gymnasiums, parking garages, swimming pools, theaters or exhibition halls. Overspan roofs not only help save construction costs but also increase the aesthetics of the design.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The canopy exceeds the span

Overspan roofs often have a dome structure, with a large span steel frame. This is a load-bearing structure in construction projects, while materials such as brick, stone or concrete cannot. These structures give buildings environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, as well as aesthetics and high sustainability.

The over-span canopy uses stretch canvas

Stretch canvas over-span roofs are increasingly chosen by many investors because of their outstanding advantages compared to conventional steel and concrete roof structures. Stretch canvas materials have been widely used around the world thanks to their superior properties in shaping, light weight and effective covering ability. For over-span roof structures, stretch canvas is the suitable material, with many advantages.

For over-span roofs, stretch canvas material will reduce the weight of the roof, thereby helping to reduce the amount of steel for the frame, helping to save construction costs. In addition, the stretch canvas structure is lighter than the flat structure and usually has a more beautiful architectural appearance.

The over-span roof with stretch canvas material also has the ability to effectively insulate, prevent noise and prevent fire spread, creating a feeling of comfort for users and ensuring safety for the project.

Stretch canvas over-span roofing is used in many public buildings such as airports, gymnasiums or factories due to its optimal covering ability and safety. A spacious, airy space is the first feeling users have when entering the covered area with stretched canvas. Not only that, the over-span roof also creates a feeling of stability and safety.

The stretch canvas over-span canopy has a lifespan of up to more than 40 years depending on the canvas material. Quick installation time, saving labor costs. In addition, investors do not have to spend too much money and time on maintenance, thanks to the stain-resistant ability of stretch canvas. Stretch canvas also has different levels of light penetration, helping to make the most of natural light, thereby saving energy.

Reputable unit constructs roof coverings over stretched tarpaulin spans

To have a roof that spans the stretch canvas requires more design effort and requires the help of structural calculation software. At the same time, the construction is very complicated and requires high precision. 

For that reason, choosing a reputable, capable and experienced design and construction unit is extremely necessary to ensure project quality. If stretch canvas is not constructed properly, it will easily cause wrinkling and water stagnation, which not only affects the aesthetic aspect but also reduces the lifespan of the canvas, causing the project to quickly deteriorate. Besides, if not calculated correctly, the roof system is not guaranteed to be safe and will not save costs on the steel frame system.
