Site Photography & Structural Details
Architectural tensile canopy shading pool deck and swimming lanes
Curved red structural steel arch truss supporting tensile membrane sails
Resort-style aquatic shade structure delivering UV protection and open ventilation
Client & Site Challenge
The client required reliable shade across the pool and poolside lounging areas that would look elegant and withstand humid aquatic conditions without rusting.
Delivered Scope of Work
- ✓Site assessment for solar angles and wind load exposure across pool deck
- ✓Form-finding design of curved structural arches and tension sails
- ✓Fabrication of curved tubular steel arches with corrosion-resistant coatings
- ✓Supply and custom seaming of anti-fungal PVDF architectural membrane
- ✓Rigging with Marine Grade 316 stainless steel tension cables and turnbuckles
- ✓Installation and tension balancing over the pool basin
Material & Engineering Specification
Curved steel arch trusses with epoxy-polyurethane weatherproofing, fitted with UV-filtering, anti-fungal architectural membrane and 316 stainless steel rigging.
Elevated canopy design creates a natural chimney effect that allows rising warm air to escape freely, maintaining a cool microclimate over the water.
Installation & Work Process
Setting non-corrosive foundation tie-down anchors around pool coping
Erecting pre-curved modular arch frames on protective deck mats
Lacing and tensioning membrane panels with stainless steel cable borders
Fine-tuning turnbuckle calibration for uniform sail tension
Engineering Challenges Solved
Installing large steel arches close to finished pool tiles without damaging coping stone. Solved using specialized timber load-distribution pads and light-weight rigging gear.
GM Tensile Concepts Expertise Applied
High-humidity structural detailing, anti-corrosion coating application, and tension membrane engineering.
Project Outcome
A striking poolside shade structure that dramatically reduces pool water temperature, blocks harmful UV rays, and elevates the aesthetic quality of the facility.
