Giant Shade Structures
Three asymmetrical Shade Structues measuring 21.5 x 10 m have been installed. The membrane is made of 900g PVC material (PVC type II, PVC coated polyester fabric with PVDF top-coating) that provides a closed roof over the three Shade Structures. The cover is extremely resistant to environmental influences and is therefore ideally suited for year-round use. The mast has a height of 6.5 metres, the edge of the mast or the centre of the membrane is 5.2 & 3 metres. These Shade Stuctures have the shape of a funnel and collect the rainwater at the bottom of the membrane, which is drained through the mast. The stand of the massive Shade Structures, weighing almost one ton per structure, is on a raised concrete base where all power and water connections are hidden.
