Tensile Structure Cost?
One of the most common questions clients ask is “How much does a tensile structure cost?”
The answer depends on design, material, and site conditions—but at Krishna International Projects & Services, tensile structure solutions starts from ₹100 per square ft., making them one of the most cost-effective modern roofing and shading systems available today.
This blog explains what you get at this price point, what affects the final cost, and how to plan your budget realistically.
What Does ₹100 per Sq Ft Typically Cover?
A starting price of ₹100/sq ft generally applies to basic, functional tensile structures designed for shade and weather protection. These are ideal for projects where utility, durability, and budget control are the primary goals.
At this level, the structure usually includes:
-
Standard PVC-coated polyester fabric
-
Optimized steel framework designed for required loads
-
Simple structural geometry (flat, hypar, or basic canopy)
-
Standard fabrication and installation practices
Such structures are commonly used for:
-
Car parking shades
-
Walkway canopies
-
Entry and exit covers
-
Utility shading for commercial or institutional spaces
Why Tensile Structures Are Cost-Efficient
Even at higher specifications, tensile structures remain economical because:
-
They require less steel than conventional roofing
-
Foundations are smaller and simpler
-
Fabrication is faster
-
Installation time is significantly reduced
This is why a tensile structure starting at ₹100 per sq ft can cover large areas at a fraction of the cost of RCC or metal roofing.
What Can Increase the Cost Beyond ₹100 per Sq Ft?
The base price is a starting benchmark. Final pricing may increase depending on:
1. Fabric Upgrade
-
Higher GSM PVC fabric
-
PTFE-coated fiberglass for long-term applications
2. Structural Complexity
-
Free-form or architectural shapes
-
Higher mast heights or longer spans
3. Wind & Site Conditions
-
High wind zones
-
Coastal or industrial environments requiring additional corrosion protection
4. Steel & Finish
-
Hot-dip galvanization
-
Premium powder coating
5. Foundations & Site Constraints
-
Hard soil, slope, or restricted access
Each of these factors is evaluated carefully before finalizing the price.
Our Pricing Philosophy
At Krishna International Projects & Services, pricing is not guesswork. Every project is assessed technically to ensure the structure is safe, durable, and suitable for long-term use—even at entry-level pricing.
Our approach includes:
-
Clear scope definition
-
Honest material recommendations
-
Load-based structural design
-
Transparent cost breakdown
We ensure clients understand why a structure costs what it does, instead of offering vague lump-sum figures.
Is ₹100 per Sq Ft Suitable for Your Project?
This price range is ideal if:
-
The project is utility-driven
-
The design is simple and functional
-
The goal is shade and weather protection
-
Budget efficiency is important
For projects requiring architectural impact, longer lifespan fabrics, or higher wind resistance, upgraded options are available.
