Current situation and solution: Application of Tensioned Canvas Sports Canopy in Construction Design
Designing large-scale sports facilities such as stadiums or national gymnasiums always poses significant challenges in terms of architecture, engineering and cost optimization. Sports canopy Using Tensile Membrane Structure has proven to be highly effective, meeting the criteria of aesthetics, covering function and material durability, becoming the first choice for modern sports projects. Flexiiform is proud to be a pioneer in applying and developing this solution in Vietnam.

Technical Requirements Analysis & Solution Context
Sports facilities require a roofing solution that not only provides protection from extreme weather conditions such as heat and heavy rain, but also ensures flexibility to accommodate different types of events and audience sizes. In addition, maintaining clear views, optimizing natural light and minimizing loads on the foundation structure are also important technical factors. Traditional solutions are often bulky, limited in span and aesthetics, not fully suitable for the grandeur and modernity required of large-scale sports facilities.

Technical Solutions
Solution sports canopy Flexiiform's Tensile Membrane Structure is developed based on the maximum exploitation of the properties of tensile fiber membrane materials and the unique architectural shaping principle. The standardized implementation process is as follows:
Material selection
The main materials for the tensile membrane structure are high-grade synthetic fabrics such as PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), known for their high tensile strength, UV resistance, water resistance and self-cleaning ability. These materials have a long service life and retain their color over time. The support frame structure is designed from high-strength steel, carefully calculated to withstand the large tensile force of the tarpaulin and the loads imposed by the environment.
Structural and geometric design
Design sports canopy Flexiiform uses a tensile membrane structure that utilizes the bending of the membrane surface to effectively carry loads, allowing for a variety of shapes from soft to rigid. Flexiiform architects and engineers use specialized structural analysis software to simulate and optimize the shape, ensuring drainage, minimizing dirt accumulation, and maximizing stability under windy and stormy conditions. The structure’s large span allows for large spaces to be covered without the need for multiple supports, keeping views unobstructed.
Construction process
- Survey and Analysis: Detailed site assessment, collecting geological and climatic data to develop a design plan suitable for the specific characteristics of the sports facility.
- Precision Machining: Steel components are machined in the factory with high precision. The tarpaulin is cut and welded using specialized technology to ensure the integrity and durability of the large membrane panels.
- Professional Installation: The installation process is carried out by a team of skilled technicians. The structural frame is erected and fixed, then the tensioned fabric is evenly stretched by a system of cables and tight anchors, ensuring optimal stress across the entire membrane surface.

Results and Performance Evaluation
Application sports canopy Tensioned canvas has brought outstanding efficiency to many large projects in the world and in Vietnam. The flexibility of the structure allows for changing capacity needs and creating unique designs, expressing the cultural identity of each locality or country. The wide coverage of the tensioned canvas effectively meets the need for covering the stands and stadiums, protecting spectators and athletes from the effects of the weather.
In particular, the Tensile Fabric structure provides outstanding durability, proven by the average minimum lifespan of 10 years of famous stadiums. The modern, lightweight aesthetics of the tensile fabric not only enhance the beauty of the building but also harmonize with the urban space, creating an impressive architectural highlight. This solution also contributes to optimizing initial investment costs and long-term maintenance costs compared to traditional roofing solutions.
