Customer Support
Greenline Shade has a wealth of experience in design & construction of tensile membrane structures. We are offering you access to this valuable knowledge to give you the peace of mind that your structure will do exactly what you want and will stay there for the long term.
The beauty of fabric architecture lies in its apparent simplicity, yet tensile membrane design is a highly specialised and delicate field, so much more complex than it seems.
Just some of the factors to be taken into account are:
• Geographical location
• Angle of the sun
• Historic weather patterns
• Degree of weather protection offered by adjacent buildings
• Local soil conditions
• Use of area to be covered
• Surrounding terrain
• Time of use of area
• Degree of protection required
• Rainwater flow paths
• Prominence of structure
• Proximity to the coast/chlorine
• Required lifespan of structure
• Sight lines
Based on our analysis of the above points, we provide accurate and necessary advice on:
• Steel sizes
• Membrane characteristics
• Membrane weight
• Attachment heights
• Membrane shape
• Support steelwork configuration
• Connection details
• Attachment heights
• Degree of twist, curvature etc
• Design ideas
• Concept development
• Architectural visualisations
• Shade audits
• Structural certification
• Engineered plans
• Workshop drawings
• Structural assessments
• Membrane research
• Industry specific testing
• Technical support & advice
