Project Overview

This tensile membrane entrance canopy project is located in Nigeria and was completed in 2019. The structure covers approximately 469 m² and features a cantilevered hat-shaped roof supported by a steel framework. All steel components are protected with an epoxy zinc-rich primer and white topcoat for enhanced corrosion resistance. The roof is clad with 1100 g/m² white PVDF architectural membrane with B1 fire rating, complying with safety standards for semi-permanent buildings and public spaces.

Challenge and Solution

The client required a tensile membrane canopy for the office building entrance to provide effective sunshade and rain protection. Based on the building structure and functional needs, our designers developed a hat-shaped tensile canopy solution that combines a lightweight structure with modern architectural expression, fully meeting the client’s design and performance requirements.

Installation
and Support

Installation was carried out by a local team under the on-site guidance of our professional engineers. A segmented assembly method was adopted to ensure uniform membrane tension and precise alignment. The project was completed efficiently and in accordance with the approved design.

Application

This type of cantilever tensile membrane canopy is ideal for office entrances, factory loading and unloading areas, and other customized sites, offering a lightweight, durable, and visually distinctive covering solution.
