commitment to quality

Final result
Final result

The canopy ensures that every moment is an ideal moment for performances or events, whether it's raining or sunny. The overall structure improves the user experience, combining both functional and aesthetic elements. During the day, it provides a perfect ambiance; by night, it delivers a unique experience with more intense light and sound, these features were carefully considered during the design process. Polyned is committed to fulfilling every client requirement from start to finish and exceeding expectations.

Attachment
Attachment

The technical textiles are firmly attached to the steel framework, always maintaining the proper tension, no matter the weather. The canopy features external tensioners that allow for individual adjustment of the tension every 50 centimeters. This results in a flawlessly tensioned canopy from end to end, free of flapping or folds, and a neat, polished look. This is accomplished through a combination of precise patterns in the technical textile, the attachment methods, and our own calculations. Our installers ensure that everything is executed exactly as planned.

Print
Print

The exceptionally high resolution print creates the sensation of being truly beneath a canopy of leaves, perfectly complementing the green park environment. It conveys a theatrical and performance-inspired atmosphere. The canopy displays references to theater and drama through famous quotes and texts from renowned stage figures. The canopy creates an enclosed feeling while maintaining an open environment for the visitor. This is truly custom-made, illustrating our dedication to bringing the client’s vision to life. We take care of both the application and technical aspects.

Materials
Materials

The leaf print does not create a blackout effect but rather enhances the experience. By using double-sided PVC coating, we’ve successfully integrated different types of technical textiles without any wrinkling. This was achieved by implementing a two-layer system. The lower layer alternates between light and printed technical textiles, while the top layer features a light grey variant above the light textile and a translucent variant above the printed textile. The result is consistent light permeability and visibility for users, with the print and text remaining sharp from below. Everything fits together perfectly due to our custom strength calculations, production methods, patterns, and assembly.

Construction
Construction

The use of Corten steel in the construction enhances its natural character. It functions both as a structural support for the roof, elevated above the open-air theater, and as a significant aesthetic touch to the canopy. This optimal result is achieved through comprehensive steel-to-steel calculations that account for snow and wind loads, as well as the structure’s weight, ensuring the columns are accurately sized.
