The Aquinas College Ringwood TensoSport Canopy is a large school cola (covered outdoor learning area) at a prestigious school in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.
MakMax worked with the head contractor, Bowden Corp to install the 73m x 37m painted steel and PVC TensoSport canopy.
Designed to transform the school’s existing tennis courts into an all-weather sporting facility, the Aquinas Sports and Multifunctional Project (SAM) covers 3 multi-use sports courts.
The MakMax TensoSport canopy includes a range of sporting accessories, including 6 drop-down basketball hoops (motorised), fixed sports netting around the perimeter and three retractable netting curtains in the middle of each court.
The Materials
The canopy is fabricated with Hiraoka HG212 architectural PVC membranes. HG212 offer excellent light transmission (13%) and designed to provide outstanding performance and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Hiraoka PVC membranes are manufactured with proprietary surface treatments for superior dirt resistance, outstanding durability, and UV blockout properties.
