Varying Fabric Thicknesses

Your tensile fabric structure will determine the strength of the fabric you need—some tensile fabric structures can be made with lighter-weight fabrics, and others require fabrics that are much stronger and thicker. It's also important to remember that selecting the right fabric for your tensile structure depends on a variety of other factors, including:

  • Lifespan
  • Cost
  • Colors
  • Light Transmittance
  • UV Resistance
  • Flame Resistance
  • Deployment
  • Repairability
