The All-Weather Outdoor Sports Court Canopy
The MakMax TensoSport sports court canopy is a premium, all-weather tensile membrane structure designed to provide reliable shade and weather protection for outdoor sports.
Ideal for Australian schools and sports clubs, the MakMax TensoSport creates safe, comfortable spaces for students, athletes, and community members to play and train year-round. Engineered to span large areas without internal pillars, this durable sports court roof is adaptable for a wide variety of spots; such as basketball, netball, tennis, pickleball, padel, volleyball, swimming pools and more.
Some of the Key Advantages of the MakMax TensoSport Canopy are;
- Adaptable to Your School or Sporting Club’s Size – The dimensions of TensoSport Canopy can be adapted for any sport; such as extra height for basketball, longer and narrower for tennis (with plenty of coverage for back-court areas). The TensoSport Canopy can also be adapted for any number of courts.
- Play On In Any Weather – the architectural-grade PVC Membrane provides shade as well as rain protection.
- Light Enough For Play – the translucent membrane allows natural daylight to filter through for day-time sports, while the included LED lighting allows for evening practice sessions or court-hire opportunities.
- Premium Finish – High-quality fabrics and architecturally painted steelwork, plus a range of option sports accessories help to create a premium finish.
- Keep Your Cool On Court – PVC tensile membranes effectively reflect the heat during the day. Unlike a metal roof (which can absorb and radiate heat), the air temperature beneath a PVC roof can be upto 9°C cooler on a 35°C day.
