Project Overview
Junction 9 is an upscale health and fitness studio in Inglewood, Calgary. The studio provides Yoga, Pilates and various other wellness and fitness classes both inside and on their beautiful rooftop. The studio wanted to maintain their ability to run outdoor fitness classes overlooking the Calgary skyline while providing a safe and shaded area for their clients.
Key considerations were the location of the sail on the rooftop and the inability to construct extensive footings. Shade Sails Canada designed a guy wire system to support the tensile loading on the sail to compensate for the lack of footing. Custom-designed knee posts were also used to combat the restriction in space available for footings while providing maximum amounts of shade.

Free Span Fabric Structures
A free-span fabric structure is a cable reinforced, high-tension Shade Sail spanned between multiple anchor points. The fabric sail can be attached to existing structures and/or posts, which are engineered to support large amounts of load. These structures can cover both large and small areas and are particularly aesthetic, especially when post/attachment point heights are varied to create hyperbolic (twisted fabric) shapes. While the posts for these structures are permanent, the fabric itself can be removed for the winter and during storms. Free-span fabric structures are widely used across many industries and applications including restaurants, playgrounds, seating areas, public parks and spaces, storage and events.
