Saddle-Shaped Shade Structure
One of our most exciting designs, the Helena Modular Structure is a circular, anticlastic saddle-like structure.
Supported by three lightweight V-shaped columns at the perimeter, Helena is a bright, open and airy structure, perfect for shading and weather proofing a school courtyard or covered outdoor learning area.
The wave-like upper curve can be positioned over the top of adjacent buildings.
Helena is also a star performer for outdoor stages and other public and community shade projects.
CUSTOMISATION
- Helena has three lightweight V-shaped columns as standard, but can be engineered with Y-shaped columns.
- Rainwater sumps can be installed at the lower points, with downpipes painted to match the columns.
- Lighting and electrical connectivity available.
