When designing a barrel vault structure, several factors must be considered to ensure the final product meets all project requirements. The choice of materials, for example, will impact the structure’s durability, appearance, and performance. Some options include the following.
Ideal for shade structures, HDPE fabric offers excellent UV protection and durability.
This material blocks 100% UV rays and is completely waterproof, making it perfect for all-weather protection.
Another excellent option is PTFE fabric, which is known for its durability and resistance to environmental factors.
Australian-made steel is known for its strength and design flexibility. All our structural steel comes standard with a raw galvanised finish. For added durability and aesthetic appeal, you can opt for a powder-coated finish in custom or standard colours.
Timber is becoming increasingly popular as a design material in tensile membrane structures. It offers an alternative aesthetic for your barrel vault structure.
We seamlessly deliver best-in-class barrel vaults using our signature
Consult. Design. Construct. method:
First we start by understanding your vision and specific requirements for your Barrel Vault project. We then develop initial concepts tailored to your needs. From there, we present our recommendations, including design concepts, materials, and timelines, ensuring alignment with your goals.
Next, we conduct site surveys and assessments to ensure feasibility. Our team creates detailed plans and 3D models, refining them with your feedback. Once finialised, we seek your approval with comprehensive documentation and cost estimates.
In the Construct phase, we finalise logistical details and coordinate with all stakeholders. Our construction team brings your Barrel Vault project to life, ensuring quality and adherence to timelines and budgets.

The tensile membrane allows natural light through the day, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and keeping the space bright and comfortable.
For evening use, we can integrate a lighting layout that suits the activity and size of the area. Our team designs systems that provide consistent, safe illumination.
Post pads improve safety by adding a protective layer around columns. They are available in various colours to match the structure’s aesthetic.
Each pad is custom-sized for a secure fit and a neat finish. This simple addition enhances comfort, supports compliance needs, and creates a more user-friendly space.
We can incorporate eaves, gutters, and downpipes into the roof design so the structure handles water efficiently and looks visually cohesive onsite.
Our team connects these systems to existing stormwater networks where possible. This reduces surface runoff, protects surrounding areas, and supports long-term durability.
We can integrate sports equipment such as basketball or netball hoops directly into the structure, eliminating unnecessary posts onsite.
Retractable systems are available for multi-purpose areas. This keeps the space adaptable, reduces clutter, and provides safe, uninterrupted zones during non-sport use.
A PA or AV system can be incorporated to support events, announcements, and presentations within your covered area throughout the year.
Wiring and components are neatly integrated into the steelwork to keep them protected and out of sight. This creates a safer, cleaner, and more professional installation.
Power outlets can be integrated into the steelwork to support equipment, events, and day-to-day use without visible cabling or potential trip hazards.
This addition increases flexibility and convenience for users, enabling broader functionality and making the covered area more practical for a range of activities.
