FAQs

Can you help me visualise the proposed structure?

Yes an important step in determining the customer's requirements and expectations of a structure is to represent an impression of the finished product. We can provide renderings on photos, to fully virtual rendered images, walk-through movies, scale models, drawings, etc. to give clients full confidence and visualisation of their structure. We can even provide shade diagrams representing projected shade outlines at different times of the year, during different times of the day.
How far do you travel to cater service?

Globally there is no corner of the country or globe that we can't service. All operations are controlled from our Australian head office. We work on projects in the hustle and bustle of Sydney's CBD to remote, non-populated islands in Thailand. Our experience in servicing remote locations combined with our aircraft, semi-trailer mobile installation workshop and fleet of vehicles and equipment result in a go anywhere service at your disposal.
What is a Catenary?

A curved or "scalloped" edge of a fabric structure A Catenary is a curved edge generally around 6-10%. Fabric is manufactured with a pocket to insert a stainless steel cable or rod, which is fitted with adjusting devices allowing the fine tuning of the length to suit the fully tensioned fabric skin. Without correctly designed catenary edges, the central area of a fabric skin is not under the correct tension and will result in flapping and sagging.
What is the largest structure you have completed?

4,000m2 or nearly 1 whole acre of fabric Raymond Terrace Bowling Club engaged us to design, manufacture and install covers to 2 of their bowling greens in 2006. The result is an international award winning canopy that is a world 1st and one of the largest in Australia.
Do you design, manufacture and install residential work?

Yes we do. We have completed many projects in the residential field; if the home owner is looking for a quality product that will last for decades we can design build them a beautiful structure.
Do you offer a design service?

Absolutely designing fabric structures is something we've perfected over many years completing 100s of successful projects in Australia and many overseas countries. The service allows our prospective clients to also benefit from this experience. The fee for the service depends on the details but is more often than not detectable from the cost of the project should it come to fruition.
What is PTFE Fabric?

Woven fibreglass with Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon like) coating Unlike PVC, PTFE fabrics use a woven base yarn of glass fibres. The top coating is an extremely high grade Teflon like slick surface that prevents a build-up of contaminants, resulting in an extended life span. PTFE fabrics are much more time consuming to manufacture and budgets for PTFE projects are much higher than projects using PVC fabric. For more information on PTFE fabrics, click here.
How long does one of your structures last?

A long time; low maintenance materials and clever design and engineering result in a long term shade solution. Fabrics are warranted for up to 15 years and life expectancies in excess of 25 years. Fabric structures can be engineered to withstand the worst Mother Nature can dish out. Many structures overseas have been in service for 30+ years and are still going strong.
