Technical and commercial questions answered by Jutent's engineering team. For project-specific queries, use the inquiry form.
Our tensile membrane structures are highly versatile and can cover spans reaching up to 80 meters in a single clear span. This capability makes them ideal for large stadium grandstands and multi-court sports facilities that require unobstructed interior space. The exact span is determined by the site-specific wind loads, local climate requirements, and the chosen steel support framework.
Installation speed is a primary benefit of tensile structures. While the timeline depends on the project scale, a standard grandstand canopy installation typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks after the steel fabrication is complete. Because the membrane panels are pre-fabricated in our controlled factory environment, site assembly focuses primarily on tensioning and steel erection, which is significantly faster than traditional construction methods.
For outdoor sports courts, PVDF-coated polyester is the industry standard. It offers an excellent balance of flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and durability. For projects requiring a lifespan exceeding 25 years or those located in extreme environments, PTFE-coated fiberglass is often the preferred choice due to its non-combustible properties and superior resistance to degradation. We provide technical consultation to help you select the appropriate fabric based on your location and budget.
Yes. Our designs are engineered to handle significant environmental loads. We calculate structural response for wind speeds up to 120 km/h and ensure proper drainage gradients to manage heavy rainfall, preventing water ponding on the membrane surface. All designs undergo rigorous structural analysis to ensure they meet the specific safety codes of the region where the facility is being constructed.
Pricing for a tensile canopy is calculated based on several variables, including total square meterage, local wind/snow load requirements, the complexity of the steel geometry, and the type of membrane material selected. As a manufacturer, we provide custom quotes for every project. By optimizing the structural design during the initial phase, we assist clients in achieving the most cost-efficient layout while maintaining high performance and safety standards.
