Ultralight outdoor shading systems: tensilation

You need an elegant shading concept for your outdoor event? Or you would like to canopy your company’s open area with a striking permanent outdoor installation? Tensilation makes the out of doors more beautiful than ever! The shading system developed in cooperation with the architects from Grimshaw is a ingenious modular system for design-oriented and efficient shading of outdoor events, footpaths, or pop-up stations. Whether they are square or diamond-shaped, linear or freely designed, the individual umbrella-like tensilation elements are easy to install, offer endless combination possibilities, and, in concert with the appropriate flooring system and the surrounding infrastructure, they create large open areas and expressive structures. This special Type EV shading system features flexibility thanks to canopy modules which are easy to combine and easy to fold; lightness thanks to specially a designed aluminum structure; static stability thanks to central support columns, galvanized steel wires, and connection of the modules; high robustness and longevity thanks to the highest quality materials and interchangeable parts; gapless arrangement thanks to special connection elements made of PVDF-coated polyester and polycarbonate; and even in the rain it provides optimum weather protection as water is drained through the central support columns. With its unique shape and quick installation the tensilation shading system combines elegant design with practical efficiency.
