Tensile Structures and Elastic Tensile Canopies by Tensis

The Tensis team is made up of structural engineers with extensive experience on projects in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.

It operates as a “one stop design & construction company”, offering complete, practical solutions and taking on and coordinating every activity, from the initial creative idea to the delivery of the finished structure.

Tensile structures

Tensile structures are “machines”. Good architectural and structural design of a tensile structure can produce a spectacular result. But if such structures are treated like an awning, the result will simply be an awning. Tensile structures are ideally suited to creating unusual and unique organic forms with complex geometry, something conventional building materials cannot achieve.

Engineering

The team brings together specialist skills in the structural design of custom steel and tensile structures, as well as their erection and maintenance. It provides a complete, integrated service in cooperation with the client and the project architect.

Design

The team’s aim is to design original tensile structures, and also to realise and bring out the ideas of other designers by creating solutions that become landmarks in their setting. With our many years of experience in lightweight tensile structures, we have the knowledge to advise our partners on how to integrate a tensile structure into a wider architectural context.

Elastic tensile canopies

Elastic tensile canopies are a revolutionary innovation in the temporary shading industry. Made from 100% waterproof stretch fabric and using the principles of a tensile structure, they create a striking, futuristic transformation of the space that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

An atmospheric setting

Tensile canopies can be installed on any surface, on any type of terrain and on top of buildings. They can shelter a wide range of events from the weather, such as receptions, concerts, weddings and parties, gradually replacing heavy, old-fashioned structures of mediocre appearance.

Transform the landscape

Besides standard sizes, Tensis designs and builds tensile canopies for every kind of space. With the option to hire, lease or buy, depending on the client’s requirements, it can meet any need.

Tensis can serve the whole of Greece. Tensis canopies are available in white, black, red, beige and silver-grey. Any other colour is simply a matter of special order.

Their surface can be produced with any company’s logo and colours, turning them into a powerful marketing tool!
