Tensile Structures – Our Sectors
At LHS Engineering, no matter the market sector, we have the skill set and experience.
Tensile Structures – Multi-Sector Experience.
A Proven Track Record Over a Broad Spectrum of Industry Sectors..
LHS Engineering’s Tensile Structures offer a swift and cost-effective solution for both temporary and permanent buildings. Firstly, they provide ample height and excellent clearance. Secondly, their design eliminates internal columns, allowing for easy movement and maximizing usable space.
Moreover, our structures create an inviting work environment with sound-absorbing fabric covers reducing noise reverberation from machinery, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for personnel.
Above all, our Tensile Structures are a superior alternative to traditional wood or steel buildings, as they do not have columns or beams hindering space usage, thus allowing for optimal space utilization.

Choosing the correct Cover Types & Shape for your environment.
For any Tensile Fabric Structure, the choice of cover type and shape is primarily determined by the environment and intended use. LHS Engineers conduct a thorough survey of your surroundings and carefully assess all requirements.
At LHS Engineering, we prioritize providing top-notch advice and support to our clients. We ensure a deep understanding of your project needs without compromise. Treating your project as our own, we guide you through the features and benefits of each design option. Our aim is to deliver a product that exceeds your expectations, delivered punctually and within budget.
Single Pitch Roof
Other names for a Single Pitch Roof include skillion, mono-pitched, or lean-to and as you can see, a single pitch roof is characterised by its single slope.
Many clients consider a Single Pitch Roof mainly due to the fact they can be cost-effective options because of their simplicity. If you already have a tensile Fabric Structure that needs extending, a Single Pitch Roof design could be perfect.
Double Pitch Roof
A Double Pitched off or Gabel Roof is the most common type of roof shape and it is characterised by two slopes that meet at the top.
The sides of the slopes are openA gable roof is so typical that it doesn’t matter if it’s installed in a cold or warm climate. It makes a good choice because it is highly affordable, has good drainage, prevent snow build-up and provides a good degree of design flexibility.
Polygonal Roof
Polygonal Roof shapes are sometimes referred to fifty pence roofs and are similar in concept to hip roofs used on residential buildings.
They are a particularly good choice for wide clearance requirements as they are the strongest shape and require less cross bracing than double pitch roofs.
Polygonal roofs are also used when there is a requirement for a wide clearance needed at height.
Arc or Round Roof
Arc or Round Roof shapes have been used for centuries, however they are very modern and offer a pleasing aesthetic.
A curved roof design is typically used in situations where there is high exposure to wind. Consequently, in situations that receive more snow and rain your shelter can have more of an arch to allow water to run-off more rapidly.
A curved roof cost will depend on the complexity of the design, but can be customised easily to house operational auxiliary options in a compact structure.
Style, Size & Installation of LHS Tensile Structures.
Furthermore, our Tensile Structures come in several styles. Hence, these buildings are available in sizes from 6m to 65m wide and in any length you desire.
In addition, a tensile structure is perfect when you need a rapid build. Because tensile structures go up quickly. Therefore, it takes less than half the time it takes to construct a traditional wood or steel building. As a result, your structure is installed in only a matter of weeks.
Most notably, we install tensile structures directly on bare earth, hard-standing or no foundations. As a result, it’s super easy to make them larger or smaller and change location.
Usage of Industrial Tensile Structures.
Moreover, our Tensile Structures have a wide variety of end use. For example, production facilities, pallet stores, cold storage structures, commodities storage buildings, material handling facilities and more.
Furthermore our tensile structures provide perfect storage for your expensive processing equipment. For example, trucks, front end loaders, etc. Because protecting your equipment from UV, rain and cold conditions will greatly increase their working lives.
Additionally, the white fabric covers reduce the need for daytime artificial lighting. Moreover, the translucent and reflective qualities of the cover provide indoor temperature stability. Our manufacturing buildings and warehouses stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. As a result, these benefits will reduce or eliminate your need for heating and cooling.
