Tensile Car Parking Structure Details

A Tensile Car Parking Structure is a lightweight and durable solution for providing shade and protection to vehicles. These structures use high-strength fabric membranes stretched over a steel framework, offering both functionality and aesthetics.

1. Components of a Tensile Car Parking Structure

a) Fabric Membrane

• Materials Used:
  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Coated Polyester – Cost-effective and UV-resistant.
  • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Coated Fiberglass – High durability and self-cleaning.
  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – Breathable and strong.

b) Structural Framework

• Material Options:
  • Mild Steel (MS) with powder coating
  • Galvanized Steel for corrosion resistance
  • Stainless Steel (SS) for premium longevity
• Support Types:
  • Columns & Beams
  • Cantilevered Structures
  • Arch or Truss-based Frames

c) Foundation

• RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) footings or anchor bolts to secure the steel framework.

d) Fasteners & Tensioning System

• Stainless steel cables, turnbuckles, and tensioning fittings to maintain fabric tension.

2. Types of Tensile Car Parking Structures

1. Cantilever Parking Shed – Best for single-side support with open space.
2. Conical Tensile Parking – Modern, cone-shaped design for better rainwater drainage.
3. Hypar (Hyperbolic) Tensile Shed – Stylish curved design with high wind resistance.
4. Arch Shape Parking Shed – Provides better load distribution and aesthetic appeal.
5. Modular Tensile Parking – Expandable structures for large-scale parking solutions.

3. Advantages of Tensile Car Parking Structures

✅ High Durability – Resistant to harsh weather conditions.
✅ UV & Heat Protection – Reduces heat buildup inside vehicles.
✅ Low Maintenance – Self-cleaning and long-lasting.
✅ Quick Installation – Faster setup compared to traditional RCC structures.
✅ Cost-Effective – Lower material and construction costs.
✅ Aesthetic Appeal – Modern and stylish designs.
✅ Eco-Friendly – Recyclable materials with less environmental impact.

4. Applications

✔ Residential Car Parking
✔ Commercial Parking Lots
✔ Hotels & Resorts
✔ Malls & Shopping Complexes
✔ Airports & Railway Stations
✔ Industrial and Office Spaces

5. Design Considerations

• Wind Load & Structural Stability – Designed to withstand local weather conditions.
• Drainage System – Ensuring proper rainwater runoff.
• Fabric Selection – UV-resistant and fire-retardant material.
• Customization – Color, shape, and size can be customized.
