Tennis Court Tension Membrane Roof in Belin-Béliet, France

ACS Production provided the tensioned canvas roof structural analysis and design. The Dlubal customer is internationally known for its expertise in the textile architecture field (sports buildings, stadium grandstands, swimming pools, school yards, canopies, awnings, covered passages, stretched ceilings, facade cladding, and so on).

Technical Project Details

The roof includes a double curvature textile cover supported on a timber arch substructure. The roof membrane has a separate module for each panel. The fabric is inserted into aluminum sections which are further attached to timber rafters. Tensioning is carried out by the metallic tensioning arches and a cable at one end. The continuous membranes at the facade are fixed at the perimeter in plate-shaped grooved sections, and the canvas is fixed to the intermediate columns to prevent displacement.
