Engineered Fabric Solutions for Complex Structures

Lightweight Structures manufactures custom fabric panels for new structures and existing fabric systems, including clearspan roofs, tensile shade structures, rental applications, and reskins.

Send us your drawings, project details, or an initial concept for prompt feedback. We can also provide free samples of proposed materials to North American addresses.

Our capabilities include:

• Manufacturing clearspan roof panels, gables, and sidewalls, as well as fabric panels for peak tops and high peaks.
• Creating custom fabric panels for unique rental applications.
• Assistance with shop drawings, engineering, and fabric choice for all types of tensioned fabric structures, temporary and permanent.
• Manufacturing tensile structures and tensile shade panels for custom applications.
• Designing and making fabric panels to replace the fabric on existing tensioned fabric structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Lightweight Structures manufacture panels from our drawings?

Yes. Lightweight Structures can work from customer-provided drawings and project specifications. If you need help developing the design, our team can also provide engineering support, shop drawings, and fabric-selection guidance, depending on the project’s requirements.

Can you manufacture replacement panels for an existing fabric structure?

Yes. Lightweight Structures fabricates replacement panels for existing fabric structures, including frame-supported and tensile systems. The appropriate approach depends on the existing structure, attachment details, available documentation, and requirements for the replacement fabric.

How do I choose the right fabric for my project?

The right fabric depends on factors such as structural loads, expected service life, light transmission, environmental exposure, appearance, and how the panels will be attached. Our team can help evaluate these requirements and recommend suitable materials for your application. ;
