Signature Structures is Fabric Architecture’s collection of cost-effective tensile fabric canopies and shade solutions. Manufactured using waterproof and UV-resistant fabric, they’re a convenient way to provide shelter and shade in school playgrounds, at entrances to hospitals, shopping centres and sports venues, and within parks and communal areas.

Our tensile fabric canopies have a life expectancy of 10 to 30+ years and an almost infinite list of practical uses! It’s quick and easy to specify a solution from more than 40 pre-engineered and ready-to-install Signature Structures, all customisable to your requirements. See the full range in our brochure.

Enjoy outdoor space all year round

A tensile fabric structure introduces dynamic curves and shapes to an area while performing a practical function: providing shade or shelter and increasing the usability of outdoor space.

Signature Structures include standalone canopies, covered walkways, entrance shelters, covers for outdoor performance areas, and sails and kites that provide both function and design appeal.

Customise and modify your shelter and shade

Play shades, walkway covers, outdoor dining canopies, entrance shelters, queue canopies – whatever you need can be customised with a vast choice of environmentally friendly fabrics in different colours and finishes, including a choice of finishes for the supporting metal framework.

Modifications and accessories include specific leg heights and padded leg-wrap kits, fixings for lighting, AV heating and electrical systems, and ‘Go Green’ options with wind turbines and photovoltaics.
