Sustainable tensile architecture can be achieved through energy-efficient design, and the use of durable, recycled and low-maintenance materials. At Tensile, we are committed to sustainability in tensile architecture by

Tensile structures date back to ancient times. They are a form of light construction that is kept stable through tensioning. This contrasts with conventional buildings where stability occurs through

High-rise buildings, bridges, atriums and elevated platforms all have one thing in common: they need a strong fall protection barrier to keep people safe. But the last thing you

Image source: Jakob Webnet frames consist of Jakob Webnet mesh panels fixed within tubular, rectangular stainless-steel frames. Using Webnet frames in safety barrier design allows for a modular approach

Tensile has been involved in several outdoor community art projects, using stainless steel cables to help bring them to life. Stainless steel cables provide the necessary strength for suspended

For a bridge to be sustainable, it needs to be able to perform for a long time without too much interference, and with minimal impact on the environment. One

When installing a Webnet mesh barrier, a primary support structure is required – one that will resist the impact of both horizontal and vertical loads while still allowing for

It might look like regular security mesh at first glance, but stainless steel Webnet offers a vast array of applications for protection netting. The possibilities are almost endless! The

When building a safety barrier, there is often a tension between fall protection, maintaining design integrity and allowing for scenic views. A weak or inadequate barrier might allow for

Jakob stainless steel suspension cables and Webnet mesh can be used in a variety of ways in tensile structures. These materials are ideally suited to safety barriers, anti-throw screens,
