Who we've worked with
ELLESMERE COLLEGE
FABRIC STRUCTURE
Ellesmere College, an independent co-educational boarding school in Shropshire, has a long history of academic and sporting success. Ellesmere is rightfully proud to offer a comprehensive range of extra curricular activities via high quality facilities. It was therefore natural for them to want the highest quality tennis facilities for their academy.
Working with the College, Rocklyn specified, designed and installed a Veldeman fabric structure. The structure was designed to have openable sides that allows free air flow and natural light during summer months and can be closed during bad weather or winter. The 4 court facility has been a success for the School and also, when not being used by the school, a benefit to the local community.

BENEFITS
Fixed fabric structures offer an efficient and easily installed alternative to traditional build solutions. They can be designed for bespoke projects or can be procured in 'off the shelf’ designs. Rocklyn can help specify buildings that fully satisfy requirements and offer solutions that will fit within budgets.
Size
Fixed structures can comfortably cover football pitches with clear span structures. The modular design allows for any length to be accommodated.
Training 24/7
Rocklyn fabric structures help protect playing surfaces and players from unpredictable weather. This helps maximise the utilisation of facilities and offers consistent conditions 365 days a year. Low energy LED lighting solutions can further enhance this utilisation.
Natural Lighting
Rocklyn fixed fabric structures can use translucent fabric, allowing natural light to illuminate the field and save costs on internal lighting. There is a further option to have openable sides which allows natural ventilation and a connection to the outside elements.
Multi-Use
The fixed fabric structure can be used for many different sporting purposes. In addition the use of fabric structures is well established for temporary accommodation and is increasingly being used in a commercial setting, such as warehousing, manufacturing, showrooms and relief venues.
Durability
Rocklyn fixed fabric structures have an expected useful life of more than 30 years. These building require very low levels of ongoing maintenance but can be easily fixed or refreshed should there be a requirement.
