Tension Membrane or Tensile Membrane is tensioned fabric is stretched over high-grade PVC and a steel framework, creating a shaded, weatherproofed area for gathering. Tension membrane structures are a stunning, effective, long-lasting envelope protector. They are thin and bend-proof. A perfect way to maximise your courtyard, playground or patio seating. These structures save patrons, parents and business owners on cooling cost. Its innovative and dynamic compression is supportive. This enables the ability transform, to host and gather.

This dynamic architecture provides a conscious, calculated environment to spend time outdoors. It maintains natural lighting and dons material that stretches massive distances. We can talk about commercial use or private entity. Either way, creating a protective, weatherproof area is a foolproof idea.

Here are some characteristics of tension membranes:
- Span large distances: Tension membranes can span large distances economically and attractively.
- Versatile: Tension membranes can be used to create complex shapes and forms.
- Durable: Tension membranes are long-lasting and can come with warranties of 15–20 years.
- Transmits natural light: Tension membranes transmit more light than traditional roofs, which can reduce the need for artificial lighting.
- Heat reflective: Tension membranes can be made with reflective materials that deflect heat and provide shade.
- Waterproof: Tension membranes are waterproof.
- Year-round use: Tension membranes can be fitted with blinds to enclose areas and are suitable for all weather conditions.

Tension membranes are typically made of coated PES, ETFE, PTFE, or PTFE coated fiberglass. They are supported by a lightweight structural system and carry tension with no compression or bending.
