A tensile fabric structure is a type of architectural design that utilizes tensioned fabric membranes to create the roof, walls or both of a building or shelter. The fabric is tensioned over a frame made of metal or other durable materials, which provides support and stability for the structure. The use of tensioned fabrics allows for a variety of shapes and sizes to be created, and can provide UV protection and weather resistance. Tensile fabric structures can be used for a range of applications, including tents, pavilions, canopies, carports, and other types of outdoor shelters. They are also often used in industrial, commercial, and sports facilities.
