EditoDear Reader,
We proudly look to a lot of successful activities since the last TensiNews. The ETFE working group has finished and pub-
lished the ETFE Guide, the result of 4 years work. It is a state of the art document presenting basic information, differ-
ent design approaches and perspectives for the future development. Beginning of May we had an excellent TensiNet
symposium 2013 - [RE]THINKING lightweight structures in Istanbul, with more than 150 participants. The three days
were full of interesting presentations from a wide range of professionals and researchers.
TensiNet was again one of the main sponsors of the student competition at Techtextil, and TensiNet was present onTextile Roofs 2013 in Berlin.
Many working groups are actually going on. The Specification and Eurocode Working Group is very active. Many coun-
tries have already established their national standards committee, and the core group meets regularly. The group is
actually working on the master document and on background documentation. Furthermore the different countries
are now asked to compare the safety approach in the actual master document with their code of practice. The ETFE
working group has been asked to contribute to the Eurocode Working Group with a chapter on ETFE foil. The Analysis
and Materials Working Group will initiate a follow-up Round Robin exercise. The results of the first exercise have been
presented in different symposia and they have been published in "Engineering Structures". The LCA working group is
preparing a series of new meetings and is inviting to join the Working Group. The Pneumatic Structures Working Group
would like to organise an "onside workshop" to learn from real projects.
During the Symposium in Istanbul we held the annual general meeting and a TensiNet Partner meeting. The new board
has been elected during this partner meeting. Vice-chairs are Heidrun Bögner-Balz, John Chilton and Peter Gosling.The secretary is Marijke Mollaert. I am proud to announce that I have been elected to be the new chair.
This issue of TensiNews contains again interesting projects in membrane and foil, reports about the TensiNet sympo-
sium, the Students Competition at Techtextil and Textile Roofs. I hope you find it of great interest and I will be glad to
see you at one of the next TensiNet events.
Yours sincerely, Bernd Stimpfle

Paturiz Shade Solutions, recentlyinstalled a 1.440m² shadestructure in Naharia, Israel. Thebrief was to create a shadestructure for a Skateboard Arenalocated in a windy coastalenvironment. The companydesigned a unique structure with abreathable knitted HDPE fabric
from Gale Pacific called SynthesisCommercial 95. Due to the knittedconstruction of the fabric air willflow more freely through themembrane resulting in morecomfortable conditions beneath.Paturiz went one step further anddesigned purpose built holes intothe fabric canopy to allow evenfurther airflow to compensate forthe high velocity winds (Fig. 1 and2). Winds of up to 130km/h are
frequent in this region and theholes are designed to allow airflowboth from above and below thecanopy. This is intended to relievethe stress loading on the overallstructure and ensure the long lifeof the fabric. It also allowed for
additional light transmission andcreated a unique aesthetic elementfor the design.

GENERAL CUTTING GUIDELINESFOR TENSION STRUCTURES ANDAWNINGSPatterns should be cut about 2.5% lessin the width and about 5% less in thelength.The above listed % is an approximaterange the fabric can be stretched whenapplying over a tension structure.The % can differ depending on the sizeof the tension structure.The fabric can be sewn. The uses of po-lyester trim or sewing a hem are therecommended finishing process.
