Lights Brilliantly

At night, dramatic lighting can turn a structure made of SEFAR® Architecture TENARA® Fabric into a work of art. Spectacular effects can be achieved with lights of changing colors and patterns.

Folds Beautifully

Because it's a woven fabric, SEFAR® Architecture TENARA® Fabric flows and drapes smoothly, allowing graceful movement in retractable structures.

SEFAR® Architecture TENARA® Fabric is unaffected by damaging UV rays, acid rain, salt water and other environmental challenges. Made of high-strength fibers, it will flex and fold countless times without cracking or loosing strength. It's easy to clean and naturally resistant to stains, mold and mildew. A 15-year warranty ensures that your fabric structure will look beautiful for many years to come.
