Case studies from Ekra Decor's own project archive and straight explanations of how tensile structures are designed, engineered and installed — no filler, every fact traceable to a real project.
Canopy Structure Types: Why Most Lists Mix Up Three Different Things
Entrance, tensile and glass canopies get listed as if they were the same kind of thing. They answer three different questions — and separating them is what makes a canopy specifiable.
Case StudyInside the Entrance Canopy at IGI Airport, Terminal 2
How a cantilevered tensile canopy shelters the vehicle drop-off at Delhi's Terminal 2 — the design constraint of building around live airport traffic, and the four-step process behind it.

A membrane canopy weighs almost nothing — which is exactly why its foundations are bigger than you expect, and why the fabric is curved rather than flat.

Ponding, slack fabric, corrosion at connections and under-sized footings. The failures are specific and repetitive — which means you can ask about them before you sign.

The real sequence — which stages run in parallel, why approval is usually the bottleneck, and the one part of the programme nobody can compress.

The fabric is the part least likely to disappoint you. What the season really tests is where the water was told to go, and whether the wind was taken seriously.

Not a sales visit — the measuring exercise that makes a real quotation possible, and the constraints a photograph never shows.

From form-finding software to on-site tensioning — the four stages every Ekra Decor project goes through, in-house, from a single car-parking shade to an airport-scale canopy.

Why there is no rate per square foot for a moving roof — and the six things that decide the number: the drive system, the span, the duty cycle, power and controls, the membrane and drainage.
GuideManual or Motorised: Choosing a Retractable Roof
How often the roof gets opened, how far the panels travel, whether there is power at the opening — the four things that decide between a hand-operated and a remote roof.
