Project Overview

This project is located in Florida, USA, and was completed in 2023. With a total covered area of approximately 820 m², it serves as a tensile membrane canopy for a public park stage, providing effective sunshade and rain protection. The structure adopts a curved steel truss framework with epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat for corrosion resistance. The roof is covered with 1300 g/m² white PTFE architectural membrane, B1 fire-rated, meeting safety standards for semi-permanent buildings and public spaces.

Challenge and Solution

The client required a membrane canopy for a park stage to support regular performances and events. A curved roof form was selected, as it is a common and proven solution for stage canopies, offering a clean appearance, stable structure, strong visual impact, and long-term durability.

Installation
and Support

Installation was carried out by the client’s local team under an organized segmented lifting method. The steel framework was installed first, followed by membrane tensioning, ensuring uniform stress distribution and precise alignment. The project was completed efficiently and in accordance with the design requirements.

Application

This tensile membrane stage canopy solution is ideal for performance stages, outdoor theaters, and public event spaces, providing a lightweight, durable, and visually appealing roofing system.
