The most used fabrics are the micro-perforated ones of high quality and resistance.
Its composition is HDPE Monofilaments (High Density Polyethylene) with 98% UVA protection.
This type of fabric reduces sun exposure and improves breathability and won't hold back the temperature. It is fire retardant and carries fungicidal substances.
The other most used fabric is Polyester mesh, which is made with two-sided Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), developed specifically for the construction of textile tension structures.
It is a fully waterproof fabric, designed for areas with a lot of rain or humidity with a coating that also contains stabilizing additives to protect against UVA rays.
The fabric is made to shape and has a reinforcement with a perimeter sheath through which an 8 mm tensioning cable passes
The result is a product of high quality and functionality that has a wind resistance of up to 110 km/h.
