Gondoletta Efteling

For the Gondoletta at Efteling, Polyned, in collaboration with Shellter, realized a new double-sided printed canopy. This project brought together engineering, speed, and craftsmanship to achieve a perfectly fitting result within a short timeframe.

With an ambitious schedule and challenging geometry, this project placed high demands on both engineering and execution. Due to the complex shape of the canopy, the solution had to be not only technically sound but also integrate seamlessly with the existing structure.
In addition, functionality and aesthetics were equally important. The canopy needed to fit the attraction's theme and provide reliable performance for years to come.
Drawing on our expertise in fabric structures, Polyned managed the entire process. We developed the modeling and patterning, worked out the technical details, and produced a new double-sided printed canopy with a diameter of approximately 8 meters.
Specific details, including drainage, were also integrated into the design. Following production, we handled delivery and on-site installation, keeping the entire process under one roof.
Thanks to the combination of engineering, production, and installation under one roof, the project was completed within the set schedule. The new canopy was successfully installed and fits perfectly with the existing structure.
The result is a durable, high-quality custom solution that brings together technology, functionality, and aesthetics.

Full in-house capabilities from start to finish
Our designer creates an initial sketch and provides an artistic rendering to deliver a clear visual solution for a realistic image. We also provide a cost estimate.

If you're pleased with the sketch and budget, we'll move on to the preliminary design phase, complete with final calculations, including design specifications, costs, and structural requirements.

Before we proceed with production, we finalize the construction details in a binding timetable.

Our next step is to execute the production and installation plan. Materials will be packed and delivered to the site, where our VCA-certified technicians will manage the installation.

Once the installation is complete, a handover with the project leader will take place, during which everything will be thoroughly checked. We also provide maintenance and service, customized to the project and in agreement with the client.

A team of experts
From sketch to realization. Our experts handle everything with detailed precision.
