Their light weight and versatility in shape and structure provides a unique range of dynamic and exciting three dimensional options. Fabric architecture covers not only complex tensioned membrane structures through fabric engineering but also beautiful and unique fabric sculptures and shade structures. General Syndicate aim to bring you the best in these visual delicacies. Having long been used in
tent structures, where guy ropes provide tension to the fabric that allows the tent structure to withstand heavy loads, these principles were only adapted to create tensile membrane structures in the last few decades. Most commonly used in the construction of tensile structures is PVC coated polyester & HDPE fabrics, chosen not only for its excellent strength, flexibility and translucency but also its impressive design life of up to 20 years. One of the major advantages of fabric architecture is that very few components are required to create a structure and the ingenuity and scale of fabric structures is as boundless as the extensive freedom fabric membrane structures offer for imaginative designs. Fabric structures are not simply limited to creating fabric buildings and roofing solutions, they are also very effective for creating entrance canopies ,walkway canopies, car parking shades, play ground shade and the list goes on.
