Sehwag International School, Jhajjar Tensile Structure
A tensile structure at Sehwag International School, Jhajjar, Haryana — about 500 m² of tensioned fabric cover on a galvanised steel frame, for a campus built around an unusually large sports programme. Ekra Decor completed it in about 32 days.

Project Overview
from Ekra Decor’s
project records
Ekra Decor built a tensile canopy for Sehwag International School, a CBSE day-cum-boarding school founded by cricketer Virender Sehwag on a 23-acre eco-friendly campus at Jhajjar, on the outskirts of Gurgaon, Haryana.
The school is built around a broad sports programme — athletics, basketball, badminton, cricket, equestrian, football, golf, lawn tennis, table tennis, squash and an all-weather swimming pool — the kind of campus that needs several weather-protected outdoor spaces. At about 500 m², this canopy is a focused, single-purpose cover: one practice court, a coaching area, or a shaded assembly and waiting space beside the sports facilities.
The archive records about 500 m² and a roughly 32-day build, and describes the structure as a modest, targeted cover for the sports-focused campus without naming the exact space.
Project Highlights
Project highlights
Sports-campus setting
Built for a school organised around a large, varied sports programme.
Modest, targeted scale
About 500 m² — one practice court, coaching area or shaded assembly space.
Fast delivery
Survey to handover in about 32 days.
Shade beside the pitches
A cool, covered spot for coaching, waiting or assembly next to the outdoor facilities.
Column-light span
Support kept to the edges so the covered area stays usable.
Eco-campus fit
A light structure that adds shade without a heavy building footprint.

The Brief
A focused piece of shade for a sports campus
A campus with a serious sports programme needs shaded, sheltered spots around its facilities — somewhere to run a coaching session out of the sun, for a team to wait, or for a group to assemble before heading out to the pitches. That is a small, specific requirement, and a 500 m² canopy answers it precisely without over-building.
Ekra Decor delivered it as a complete job: survey, 3D structural and membrane design, fabrication of the galvanised frame and the fabric, and installation and tensioning, over about 500 m² in roughly 32 days.
Design & Engineering
A compact canopy, properly engineered
At this scale the structure is light, but the engineering is the same as for a larger roof. The membrane is form-found so it sits in double curvature and stays taut, carried on a slim galvanised steel frame with the columns kept to the perimeter of the covered area.
Wind uplift is the governing load on a small, low canopy, and on a school site there is an added allowance for the structure being leaned on or played near. Ekra Decor designs the steelwork to IS 800, checks the canopy for wind to the applicable Indian codes, and sizes the pad foundations for uplift and overturning. A translucent membrane keeps the covered space bright and cool.
Fabrication & Installation
Prefabricated, installed in about a month
The frame is welded and hot-dip galvanised in the workshop and the membrane is cut and welded to pattern off-site, so the canopy arrives ready to erect. On site the crew casts the pad foundations, stands the frame and tensions the membrane — a short, contained sequence.
On a running campus the work is fenced off and timed around the school day, and the space is handed back finished in about 32 days.
The Result
Shade where the sport happens
The school gained a compact covered space beside its sports facilities — useful for coaching, waiting or assembly, out of the Haryana sun and the rain. It is essentially maintenance-free apart from cleaning and a periodic tension check.
Ekra Decor builds sports-court, coaching and assembly covers for schools across Haryana. See more finished work on the projects page, or read about tensile structures in Jhajjar.

Common Questions
About this project & building something similar
Where is this project located?
Jhajjar, Haryana.
How large is the covered area?
500 m², per Ekra Decor's project records.
How long did this project take to build?
≈32 days from start to finish, per Ekra Decor's project records — in line with the standard 10 to 15 day fabrication and 3 to 7 day on-site installation timeline used across most projects.
Who was this project built for?
Sehwag International School (SIS).
Are there real photographs of this project?
Yes — 5 photographs from Ekra Decor's own project archive appear in the gallery above, not a stock or illustrative image.
Can Ekra Decor build something similar for my site?
Yes — every project starts with a site survey and a custom 3D design tailored to your space, not a fixed template. Get in touch to discuss a similar structure for your own site.
What membrane material would a structure like this be built in?
The choice depends on span, climate and intended lifespan. PVC-coated polyester is the most cost-effective option, with a 10–15 year service life. PVDF-coated polyester adds a self-cleaning top layer and pushes that to 15–20 years. PTFE-coated fibreglass is a permanent, non-combustible membrane with a life measured in decades, and ETFE film is used where an ultra-light, highly transparent roof is needed.
Is the structure engineered to Indian standards?
Yes. Wind, rain and — where relevant — snow and seismic loads are analysed to the applicable IS codes, and the steelwork is designed to IS 800. The membrane is form-found so its stresses stay balanced in double curvature, and the foundations are sized against uplift and overturning rather than gravity alone — the governing case for a lightweight tensile roof.
What warranty and documentation come with the structure?
Up to a 10-year written warranty on the membrane, plus as-built drawings, original mill certificates for the membrane and steel, a structural stability certificate and an operation & maintenance manual on handover. An annual maintenance contract covering inspection and re-tensioning is optional.
How much maintenance does a tensile structure need?
Very little — a periodic wash to remove surface dirt, and an annual check of cable tension and bolt torque. PVDF and PTFE membranes are largely self-cleaning, so rain keeps them looking new. We can carry this out under an annual maintenance contract if you prefer.
