Introduction to Stadium Cover Application and Model
Stadium stretch canvas roofs have rich, attractive colors, can withstand sun and rain, are quick and simple to construct, have modern artistic design, and are the best architectural form for an arena. , stadium.
Stretch canvas structures are used as many World Cup stadiums, NBA basketball halls, tennis halls and many other sports structures. In addition, with the ability to cover a large area, canvas roofs are an ideal design for stadiums and outdoor competition areas.
With many great advantages, stretch canvas materials such as PVDF, ETFE, and PTFE are flexibly applied to stretch architecture, allowing architects to be creative with all designs that other materials cannot. does not meet the.
Stadium canopy structures have the potential to reduce maintenance time and costs, can be designed to allow for filtered daylight and use sustainable electricity.
Design and construction process of stadium tarpaulin roof
The design of a stadium stretch canvas roof will be different from other types of projects due to its large scale as well as the requirements for design details, materials, structures, and more complex construction techniques. Especially for stadiums that organize international tournaments such as the World Cup, Euro, Olympics, etc., creative elements that are unique, safe, and resistant to the effects of weather are brought up. head.
Areas where Stadium Stretch Tarpaulin Roofs can be applied
Stadium stretch canvas roofs have been researched and put into common use in developing countries. However, in Vietnam this type has not received enough attention. Due to many limitations: most use imported materials so prices are high, lack of experienced design and construction units, and strict technical requirements. However, in the past few years, stretch canvas roofs have gradually been applied in some areas of the stadium such as:
- A tarpaulin roof stretches over the stands
- A canvas canopy stretches across the walkway
- Tarpaulin roof stretched over the parking lot
- A canvas canopy covers the ticket counter
Advantages of Stadium Stretch Tarpaulin
Light-weight: Canvas stretch roofs have a mass many times smaller than the weight of traditional construction materials. This also makes canvas stretch roofs basically overcome the difficulties encountered when traditional structures are implemented on large-area projects, especially for large stadiums and other construction projects. other requires large unobstructed visual space.
Natural light: The membrane fabric is translucent and ensures excellent, uniform lighting. Natural light helps players feel more comfortable, while also avoiding electricity costs during the day. Of course, you can also choose to install LED spotlights if the stadium operates at night
Great aesthetics: The stadium is generally an iconic building in the urban area. At night, the light illuminates the night sky through the membrane of the top cover, creating a very dreamy visual function.
Long lasting properties: As a result of highly complex engineering technology, the traction system complies with strict construction standards. Depending on the type of canvas and specific project requirements, these superior structures perform well in harsh environments and fluctuating weather conditions.
Some Notes When Using Stadium Stretch Tarpaulin Covers
Although there are many outstanding advantages, stadium stretch canvas roofs still have some points to keep in mind when being put into use. Below, Flexiiform will suggest to you some advantages as well as necessary notes in the process of applying tarpaulin roofs for stadiums:
Notes when using stretch tarpaulin roofs in stadiums:
- The tensile structure gymnasium has a large span construction space, so it is necessary to fully consider how to divide the fire compartment. Attention should be paid to choosing tarpaulin materials with good fire resistance and high safety
- Construction must be fireproof, tarpaulin material needs to be tightly attached to the underside of the steel cable. So the steel frame is not subjected to any high temperature functions
- To withstand rain and snow, the membrane surface shape must ensure convenient and smooth drainage and snow discharge, avoiding accumulation of rain and snow. The membrane and joints must be tight and waterproof, and the membrane edge must also be specially designed to prevent rainwater from entering the room.
Some stadiums use famous stretch canvas structures in the world
Vélodrome Stadium – Marseille, France
This unique stadium was created through the reconstruction of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. The strength of the design lies in the undulating shell. Besides the roof, the Architects also applied a translucent canvas to the facade, helping to create a beautiful cover and protection from the weather.
Maracanã Stadium designed by Fernandes Arquitetos Associados, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Host of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Maracanã Stadium has been modernized in recent years, with careful attention to its cultural value. Incorporating one compression ring and three tension rings, the roof is designed to float slightly above the stadium surface. A fiberglass membrane covers the entire roof with rebuilt supports underneath.
Brasília National Stadium designed by Schlaich Bergermann Und Partner, Brasília, Brazil
Also created for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Brasília National Stadium is the largest building in the city. It includes a rainwater collection system with a retractable double-layer roof structure. It follows the principle of the balanced suspension wheel as the design basis.
Amazônia Stadium by Schlaich Bergermann Und Partner, Manaus, Brazil
Another stadium in Brazil, Arena da Amazônia creates a unique facade and method of conveying texture. Both the compression ring and the tension ring are part of a structure supported by spherical bearings. The design creates a cohesive roof and facade that opens onto the stadium grounds as it meets the ground.

Allianz Riviera Stadium designed by Wilmotte and Associés SA, Nice, France
Allianz Riviera Stadium was created as a multi-purpose eco-stadium. It is designed with an ETFE heavy-duty fabric covering a wood-steel frame. The concept is transparency, with the hope of erasing the clear boundaries between inside and outside. The membrane was conceptualized to float above the audience below.
Addis Ababa National and Sports Village Stadium designed by LAVA, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
A speculative design and masterplan never fully realized by LAVA (Laboratory for Visionary Architecture), proposed the Addis Ababa National Stadium incorporating a 60,000 seat olympic stadium, dormitories, fields, halls and commercial areas. A smart membrane and lightweight load-bearing structure cover the main stadium and landscape. The design is based on the tectonics and volcanic geology of the area.
Mersin Stadium designed by Bahadır Kul Architects, Icel, Turkey
Mersin Stadium was created to accommodate a variety of uses but primarily functions as a football field. It is designed as an elliptical shell that bears tension on the bowl below. The material of the case doubles to suit Mersin's climate while allowing for changing visibility through its translucent skin at different hours of the day.
