Junction 9 Yoga Studio
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
Free Span Fabric Structures
A Free Span Fabric Structure is a cable-reinforced, high-tension shade sail stretched between multiple anchor points. The sail can be attached to existing buildings and/or engineered posts designed to handle significant loads.
These structures are suitable for both small and large areas and are especially visually striking when the attachment heights are varied to create hyperbolic (twisted fabric) shapes. While the posts are permanent, the fabric can be removed during winter or heavy storms.
Free Span Fabric Structures are used across a wide range of applications, including restaurants, playgrounds, seating areas, public parks, storage spaces, and event venues.
