Tensile Structure Hardware

Key to tensile structure, but meaning a lot of different things to different people, We use the term "rigging" to refer to hardware,usually stainless steel 316 for outstanding durability and maximum resistance to corrosion, use for fixing and tensioning canopies into place. The variations in designs,details and sizes are huge,from M5 to M36 and beyond. but obviously the size of the rigging section will depend directly upon the load that is being imposed upon it.

For interior applications, rigging is generally smaller than exterior, still being used for tensioning but not being put under anywhere near the loads of exterior canopies.

For larger interior canopies, where loads are increased (as more tension is required to pull the canopy into shape) the size of connectors will increase. This direct relationship of larger loads requiring larger rigging sizes obviously extends to exterior environments, and more so where higher safety factors come into play. Engineering information gained during the design process will dictate these fixing and rigging sizes accordingly.
