HIP STRUCTURES

Hip Structures Deliver Large Clear Spans and Ambient Light

Tensile membrane hip structures are a revolutionary solution in the world of shade structures.

Whether you need to cover playgrounds, car parks, or outdoor seating areas, hip shade structures deliver both function and style.

What Are Tensile Membrane Hip Structures?

A tensile membrane hip structure is a type of tensioned fabric structure characterised by its hip-shaped design. This design features a central high point, with fabric stretching down to lower points at each corner, creating a distinctive and visually appealing canopy. Our installers tension the fabric membrane over a steel frame, ensuring the structure remains both sturdy and long-lasting.

These structures offer several key benefits:

  • Effective UV Protection: These fabric-tensioned membrane structures provide excellent protection against harmful UV rays. Making them ideal for outdoor spaces where people gather, such as parks, schools, and public plazas.
  • Natural Light: Despite their protective qualities, these structures allow natural light to filter through, creating a bright and welcoming environment beneath.
  • Wide Variety of Applications: Hip shade structures can be customised to fit a variety of spaces and purposes. From playgrounds to commercial outdoor dining areas, these structures offer versatility that is hard to match.

Greenline is a trusted leader in the design and installation of Barrel Vaults. Over the last 20 years, we’ve covered more outdoor spaces than anyone else in Australia.

Why Choose a Hip Shade Structure?

Choosing a hip shade structure is a decision driven by ease of use and aesthetics. These structures enhance the appearance of any outdoor space, and people recognise them for their clean lines and modern look. Hip structures are a cost-effective solution, offering long-term value with minimal maintenance.

Applications of Tensile Membrane Hip Structures

Tensile membrane hip structures are ideal for a range of commercial settings. Their robust design and attractive appearance make them a popular choice for businesses looking to enhance their outdoor areas.

Customisation and Colour Options
