Project Overview

This tensile membrane canopy project is located in Zhuhai, China, and was completed in 2024. With a total covered area of approximately 460 m², the structure is designed to provide sunshade and rain protection for a swimming training pool. The canopy adopts an arched rod-supported tensile membrane system with a steel structural framework. All steel components are treated with an epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat for corrosion resistance. The roof is clad with 1100 g/m² white PVDF architectural membrane with B1 fire rating, meeting safety standards for semi-permanent buildings and public facilities.

Challenge and Solution

The client required a tensile membrane canopy for the swimming training pool to deliver effective sun and rain protection while maintaining a simple and modern architectural appearance. Based on these requirements, our designers proposed a conventional arched rod-supported steel frame tensile membrane solution. This design is economical, practical, and visually clean, fully meeting functional needs and budget considerations.

Installation
and Support

Installation was carried out by our professional installation team using a segmented assembly method. Steel trusses were lifted into place with crane assistance to ensure accurate positioning and uniform membrane tension. The project was completed efficiently according to schedule and met all design and performance requirements.

Application

This type of arched tensile membrane structure is ideal for sports facilities such as swimming pools, basketball courts, and other athletic venues, offering a lightweight, durable, and visually appealing roofing solution.
