ORION Hypar fabric canopies are the classic tensile form, using columns at the outer edge of the structure for support. ORION Hypar canopies are available as single or double hypar modules and can easily be sited in groups to provide larger areas of cover.
Canopy Form
ORION Hypar canopies have a waterproof membrane tensioned in the classic hypar form – a square or rectangular shape tensioned at opposing high and low points.
Canopy Support
ORION Hypar fabric canopies are supported from columns at the corners. The braced design means smaller foundations are required compared to the traditional waterproof hypar.
Canopy Dimensions
ORION Hypar fabric canopies can be constructed with module dimensions of up to 8.0m x 8.0m. Most hypar modules are square, but rectangular or slightly irregular quadrilateral shapes can be accommodated with careful design.
ORION Hypar fabric canopies are specified with the FTO Series Architectural PVC Fabric which is an advanced, high quality and hard wearing product, with a smooth PVDF surface coating that stops dirt getting ingrained in the fabric, reducing the level of maintenance required to keep the roof clean.

Highly durable polyester powder coatings are applied as the standard finish on steel frame ORION canopies with colours selected from a basic range or from the RAL colour selector. Steelwork is cold grit-blasted to SA2.5, with a zinc coating and anti-corrosive primer, followed by the high gloss polyester colour powder coat finish. Alternatively, hot-dip galvanised coatings can be specified for the harshest environments where a decorative finish is not required.

Adding options to your ORION canopy allows even greater flexibility for extending the use of the covered space.
Post Protector Pads
Foam protector pads with heavy duty PVC covers can be fitted to canopy posts for structures situated in play areas.
Rainwater Management
Waterproof hypar canopies naturally direct rainwater to flow off the two low points of the canopy, and hoppers and downpipes can be specified to catch the runoff and direct it neatly to the ground or a drain.
