STRUCTURES EXTERIOR TENSILE PRODUCTS Fabric Architecture The art and science of tension Project: Hideaway Park With all of the resort events, several canopies were required to provide year- round shelter from rain, wind, snow and sun. Project brief With an average snowfall of 19’ per year and some of the severest weather conditions in the states, fabric structures were required to be engineered for snow loads rated to 100 pounds per square foot. Larger foundations, stronger steel, heavy duty fixings and strengthened fabrics were all incorporated in the design. With breathtaking mountain views in the background, the canopy designs should blend into the setting. Design solution Three Double Conic tensile fabric structures were selected from our range of ‘ready to install’ Signature Structures. Inspired by nature, the white Double Conics look like snowy mountains, enhancing the dramatic backdrop of the park. Each of the 20’ x 30’ structures were engineered to current and local Building Design Codes, creating a safe and long lasting performance area for Winter Park events.
