A membrane structure shade in scenic regions refers to a lightweight, architecturally striking canopy made from tensioned fabric membranes (PTFE, PVC, or ETFE) supported by steel frames or cables. These structures blend durability with artistic design, providing shade, weather protection, and visual enhancement for parks, resorts, plazas, and tourist attractions.
Sleek, curved designs complement natural landscapes.
Custom shapes & colors (translucent/opaque) for thematic integration.
Lightweight & airy, avoiding visual obstruction of scenic views.
UV-resistant (blocks 90–99% of harmful rays).
Waterproof & windproof (pre-tensioned fabric withstands storms).
Heat reduction via reflective/ventilated designs.
Column-free spans (up to 50m+) for unobstructed gathering spaces.
The are Ideal for:
✓ Park pavilions
✓ Resort pool shades
✓ Observation deck covers
✓ Picnic zones & walkways
Self-cleaning coatings (e.g., PTFE) reduce dirt buildup.
Minimal foundation impact (preserves natural terrain).
Long lifespan (20–30 years with PTFE).
