Our client, a premier sports facility operator in Europe, required a permanent all-weather covering solution for their outdoor tennis and paddle court complex. The challenge was to provide a durable, weather-resistant structure that maintains natural light, offers unobstructed interior space, and withstands harsh seasonal conditions while preserving an elegant aesthetic.
We deployed the Arcum Tent durable prefabricated shelter system, featuring our signature curved roof design. The structure was custom-engineered to span the full width of the multi-court arena with clear span widths from 15 m to 30 m and ridge heights up to 8.2 m, providing ample headroom for tennis and paddle play.
