The ORION Barrel Vault fabric canopy has a tall centre line that creates a spacious feeling under the canopy.

The flexible design aesthetic and distinctive elegant form of a tensile fabric canopy results from the characteristics unique to membrane tension. In daylight, fabric membrane translucency provides diffused, naturally lit spaces, while at night, artificial lighting can be used to create an ambient exterior luminescence. The lightweight nature of tensile membrane design requires less structural steel compared with conventional roof coverings, enabling clear spans of column-free space.

ORION tensile canopy structures use a PVC-based architectural fabric with a PVDF self-cleaning outer layer. These advanced fabrics have a lifespan equal to alternative covering materials with a 25-year design life.

Features and benefits:

• High sunlight reflectivity.
• Complies with all relevant national regulations for fire resistance.
• One-piece fabric membrane used per structure, providing a smooth, low maintenance surface.
• Soft membrane fabrics absorb echo, the sound of rain and voices to a much greater extent than a hard roof.
• Can be further enhanced with the addition of glass, polycarbonate or mesh facade, lighting & heaters
• Free from lattice beam obstructions, the clear span rafter design is suitable for sport and creates a spacious feel.
• Can be specified in both symmetric or asymmetric forms to suit all types of sites.
