Innovative Structures
Covered Structures
Our standardised solutions offer a more cost-effective and energy-efficient solution compared to traditional building methods.
Designed for flexibility and rapid installation, they are ideal for a wide range of applications, from sports facilities to industrial spaces.
Designed for Efficiency and Sustainability
Each structure is engineered to reduce energy costs through features like translucent roof fabrics, which maximise natural daylight. For use during darker hours, optional low-energy LED lighting can be integrated.
Openable sides also support natural ventilation, promoting comfort while reducing reliance on mechanical systems.
Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Solutions
With minimal ongoing maintenance requirements and a lifespan exceeding 30 years, our structures are built to last.

Why choose a covered structure?
Rocklyn uses the well respected Veldeman system for standard fabric structures. This system has been successfully used in hundreds of sporting and non sporting settings across Europe.
-
Low Maintenance
Engineered for strength and longevity, covered structures use high-performance materials designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, while requiring minimal ongoing maintenance.
-
Rapid Construction
Covered structures can be delivered and installed significantly faster than traditional buildings - reducing programme time and accelerating operational readiness across all sectors.
-
Cost-Effective
With reduced construction times, lighter foundations, and fewer material requirements, covered structures offer a cost-efficient alternative to permanent buildings—without compromising performance.
-
Portable and modular
Covered structures can be relocated, extended, or reconfigured - providing flexible, scalable solutions ideal for temporary or evolving site needs across education, military, or logistics settings.
-
Custom, clear span Design
Each structure is tailored to meet specific project needs, from clear-span interiors for sports and aviation, to specialised access, climate control, and load requirements for industrial and defence use.
-
All-Weather performance
Designed to perform in all climates, covered structures maintain structural integrity and usability in wind, rain, snow, and high temperatures - ensuring reliable year-round operation.
