We pledge to expand the market of tension fabric structures by simplifying the way the product is perceived.  In many cases these products, no matter the size, are perceived to be very high tech & proprietary in nature.  The fact is that Tension or Tensile Fabric Structures can be very low tech. 

Think about this; in the beginning, about 35 years ago, all projects of this nature were conceived and designed by hand.  What I mean is that we didn't have the luxury of computer aided design for fabric structures, thus we made physical scale models and took all of our information from this tiny representation.  To this day, even the most sophisticated software available to the industry cannot give us all the information that a scale model can.  The software merely assists us in load analysis and engineering.  Ninety percent of all large and small scale projects are produced using some information from a physical scale model as well as computer model.

Even the large scale product like the Georgia Dome, Denver Airport and alike, are based on the most simple design of the true hyperbolic parabola.  All woven fabrics, coated or uncoated,  typically have two opposing lines or thread intersecting at right angles, the warp which runs the length of the roll and the fill which runs across the roll.  Apply force or tension to these opposing lines in opposing direction (pick points) and you get an anticlastic geodesic surface, which resembles a saddle shape.

We hope to bring the industry to everyone by being open with our client and free with information that will open the doors to an explosive new trend of fabric architecture.
