Project Overview

Located in Conghua, China, this commercial forest restaurant tensile membrane sunshade project was completed in September 2019. The structure measures approximately 20 m × 20 m, with a height of 8 m and a total footprint of 400㎡. Steel usage is around 3 tons, with epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat for corrosion protection. The roof is covered with 1100 g/㎡ white PVDF membrane, B1 fire-rated, meeting public safety standards.

Challenge and Solution

The restaurant, situated in a forest resort, required a canopy for sun, rain, and falling leaf protection while blending with the natural surroundings. The design features a central double-column cap structure with soft-edge tensile membranes around the perimeter, providing a simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Installation
and Support

Our professional installation team managed on-site construction, using cranes for columns and membrane installation. Key challenges included precise column angle control to ensure smooth connection between soft-edge cables and the membrane. Installation was completed in 3 days, delivered on schedule.

Application

Soft-edge tensile membrane structures are lightweight, visually appealing, and quick to install, ideal for landscape features, park areas, and commercial or public spaces.
