StructureFree-Span Shade Sail Fabric Structure

Port Dover is a beautiful waterfront town in Norfolk County, Ontario. They recently undertook a waterfront revitalization project, including the improvement of area walking access and the installation of a fabric structure to shelter entertainers performing next to their Harbour Museum.

TensArch used a waterproof material to extend the usage of the shade structure into the should seasons. Engineering considerations were specific to the waterproof material, which is much heavier and thus produces a higher load. Waterproof sails add more longevity to your structure and create a useable space in inclement weather conditions.

Because the shade structure was so close to the water, the water table was a major consideration when installing the posts. With proper planning, our footings were able to maintain a dry pouring environment, which was particularly important due to the increased post sizes to accommodate the added load of the waterproof sail.
