Project Overview

This project is located at Peng’ou Middle School in Shantou City, China, and was completed in June 2019. It is a curved tensile membrane canopy for a stadium grandstand. The overall canopy size is approximately 20 m × 8 m, with a central height of about 4.5 m. The steel structure consumption is around 3 tons, and the total construction period was approximately 20 days. The main steel structure is treated with an epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat, providing enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The roofing system uses 1100 g/m² white PVDF architectural membrane, featuring B1 fire-retardant performance, fully compliant with safety standards for public and educational facilities.

Challenge and Solution

Located at the school sports field grandstand, the canopy was required to serve both daily use and large-scale school events. The client requested a solution that provides sun and rain protection while maintaining a modern, clean appearance that integrates well with the overall sports field environment. Based on the site conditions and functional requirements, we adopted a curved tensile membrane structure design. This solution delivers a lightweight and streamlined appearance, ensuring functional performance while enhancing the visual identity and spatial quality of the grandstand.

Installation
and Support

The project was executed entirely by our professional installation team. During construction, the work area was properly enclosed to ensure safety within the school campus. Key installation processes included steel truss erection and precise membrane tensioning, ensuring uniform stress distribution and a smooth membrane surface. The project was completed on schedule, fully meeting both design and functional expectations.

Application

Curved stage and grandstand tensile membrane structures offer advantages such as lightweight construction, aesthetic appeal, and short installation cycles. They are widely applicable to school grandstands, stage canopies, park event spaces, and various public performance venues.
