Biogas plants are becoming more common across India due to rising energy demand and the push for sustainable solutions. A key part of these systems is reliable gas storage—and that’s where the biogas balloon plays an important role.

Outdoor tensile structures are widely used across India for parking shades, entrance canopies, walkway covers, stadium roofing, and industrial shelters. They are lightweight, modern, and ideal for large-span roofing.

But to ensure long-term performance, it’s important to understand the common problems that occur in tensile membranes—and how to prevent them.

In this blog, we’ll cover the most common issues in tensile roofs and tensile structures such as sagging, cracking, and seam failure.

1) Sagging in Tensile Roofs

Sagging occurs when the membrane loses tension and develops loose areas. This can lead to water pooling during rain.

Causes include:

low-quality tensile fabric
poor tensioning during installation
weak anchoring systems
fabric stretching over time

Prevention:

Use a high-strength tensile membrane with stable dimensional performance, and ensure correct tensioning and anchoring during installation.

2) Cracking and Coating Damage

Cracking is common in membranes with poor UV protection, especially under Indian heat.

Causes include:

low UV resistance
inferior PVC coating
lack of protective topcoat
harsh cleaning chemicals

Prevention:

Choose UV-stabilized tensile membranes, preferably with a top lacquer for better surface durability and cleanability.

3) Seam Failure

Seam failure happens when welded joints weaken or open over time.

Causes include:

poor welding quality
incorrect seam design
fabric with weak coating adhesion
uneven load distribution

Prevention:

Use fabric with good weldability and ensure professional welding techniques with proper reinforcement.

Other Issues in Tensile Structures

Some additional issues include:

fading and discoloration
fungal growth
staining and dirt accumulation
edge tearing at clamp points

Most of these problems can be avoided by selecting the right tensile fabric and ensuring correct fabrication standards.
