Abu Dhabi, located on the Gulf, is home to many people from the Emirates and international business people. Reem Island is a special district of Abu Dhabi, characterized by its modern building culture and international residents. As the temperatures in Abu Dhabi rise to highs in the summer, an intelligent and aesthetic shade solution was needed for the new Al Fay Park. MDT-tex fixed shade structures were chosen by landscape architect SLA from Copenhagen, who designed the park as an urban forest with many walkways and a clever water irrigation system. The tulip-shaped, fixed shade dispensers from MDTtex have different heights of 3 to 6 metres, they have a shade diameter of 5 and 6 metres and are firmly anchored in the ground via a concrete-steel foundation. In order to maintain a pleasant temperature on the sports and playgrounds that are not shaded by trees, more than 15 Shade Structures were successfully installed at three different locations. With over 20 years of expertise and history in textile constructions and lightweight architecture, the membrane roofing could be planned, produced and installed within 3 months.

More than 15 tensile fabric canopies have been used to cover a total of three play and sport areas. The stretched fabrics at the canopy have an inverted shape to drain the water to the mast in case of rain. The different assemble of heights of all tensile canopies create the atmosphere of a forest, reflected by the lightweight architectonic structures.Certainly, it can be said that the sun protection structures give Al Fay Park an iconic image and contribute to its successful use. Once again it shows how beautiful textile architecture can be.

Landscape structures for playgrounds and outdoor sport facilities from one single source. Within our great range of special structures for landscaping architectural use, modifications can be made very easily in sizes, colour and material, tailored to the customers and landscaper and planning office needs. Here at Al Fay Park, we used a high grade PVDF coated PVC membrane, to last for the next decades in the harsh and sunny environment at the Arabic gulf.
