Tensile Membranes
Ideal for large span roofs and lightweight curved structures. Engineered tensile membrane solutions for striking architectural outcomes.
Overview
Tensile membrane structures are lightweight, high-strength fabric structures that achieve their stability through pre-stressed tension rather than compression. Sail Structures specialises in the design and construction of tensile membrane roofs, canopies, and facades that deliver striking architectural outcomes while spanning large areas without internal columns. Our tensile membrane projects include award-winning installations such as the Cairns Airport beer garden canopy and the Watkins Martin Munro Conservatory. We work with world-leading membrane suppliers including Mehler Texnologies and Serge Ferrari to deliver structures that combine beauty with engineering excellence.
