MANTIS CANOPIES are a new genre
of tensile structure, developed for sports
courts by Jensen Young Pty Limited.
Engineers and membrane fabricators have
confirmed the structure is unique and a world
first. The Australian Government, through IP
Australia, has granted a patent for the design.
The single span arrangement has the following
advantages over standard multi-column designs:
• no interference to players
• reduced clutter on court
• uninterrupted line-of-sight for television crews
• drop down sides for rain and sun protection
• spectacular spatial quality
• lower cost
