Tensile Structure for Pavilion

In public facilities, a pavilion serves more than just a shelter; it’s a vibrant hub for community gatherings and sporting events. At Archway Tensile, we specialize in designing stunning tensile structures for these pavilions, showcasing remarkable spans that are a feast for the eyes. Whether it’s a grandstand at a cricket stadium, community pavilions in a township, or central gathering spots in a public park, our tensile systems create a unique floating roof aesthetic. This design provides complete shading without the burden of heavy support columns.

Unobstructed Views and Large Span Engineering

A standout feature of any great sports or event pavilion is visibility. Traditional metal roofing often requires numerous columns, leading to “blind spots” that can obstruct views for spectators. In contrast, Archway Tensile harnesses the high strength-to-weight ratio of architectural membranes—like PTFE or PVC—to craft expansive cantilevered designs. This allows us to cover thousands of square feet with minimal ground-level intervention. So, no matter where you sit in the pavilion, you’ll enjoy a clear view of the action, whether it’s on the field or the stage.

Weather Resistance and Thermal Comfort

Pavilions are constantly exposed to the elements, facing wind and rain around the clock. That’s why our structures are engineered to withstand intense wind forces and the heavy rainfall typical of the Indian monsoon. The reflective materials we use prevent heat from becoming trapped under the roof, a common problem with traditional tin or polycarbonate shelters. Instead, Archway Tensile pavilions stay cool and airy, thanks to their translucent fabric that allows ample natural light to flow in. This not only reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day but also creates an inviting atmosphere perfect for photography and live broadcasts.

The Archway Tensile Advantage for Pavilions:

• Lightweight and Attractive Form: Our designs, like the Archway Spanning Seating Area, are not only functional but also visually appealing.
• Acoustics: The fabric effectively absorbs sound, making it ideal for commentary-heavy sports events and important public announcements.
• Affordable: Our pavilions are a cost-effective choice, requiring little to no maintenance and boasting a lifespan of over 25 years, making them suitable for both government and private projects.
