A tensile roof structure is a modern architectural solution that uses tensioned fabric or membranes to create lightweight, durable, and visually striking roofs. The key components include:
- Membrane Material: Usually made of PTFE, PVC, or ETFE, it provides flexibility and weather resistance.
- Support Structure: Composed of steel or aluminum frames, poles, or cables to hold the membrane in place.
- Tensioning System: Includes cables and anchors to maintain tension and stability.
- Connection Points: Secure the membrane to the supports.
- Foundation: Ensures the entire structure remains stable under loads like wind and snow.
