APPLICATIONS:
Product Features
- Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
- BlockoutOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Restricts light passing through the fabric for roof, curtain or cover panels that need an opaque finish and greater control of the light behind the surface.
Polyester Core and PVC Faces
The 1000D base identifies the reinforcing yarn size in DLT-5201, and the 20×20 value describes its fabric construction. The PVC films cover this textile on both sides. The listed 420gsm includes all of those layers. When comparing samples, keep the base specification and total sheet weight together, since similar weights can contain different proportions of reinforcement and polymer. Confirm the selected construction on the sample.
Lamination and Light Control
DLT-5201 lists a three-layer laminated structure and an optional additional blockout layer. Joining the film to the textile forms the sheet; specifying blockout determines an additional light-control feature. Confirm which version the sample represents before comparing daylight appearance. The selected glossy or matte finish and any required fire-performance formulation should also be identified on the order and evaluated in the proposed seam construction.
Application requirements — Tent Roofs & Sidewalls
Specify the covered span, panel dimensions, support arrangement, installed tension and exposure. Review tensile and tear properties, coating adhesion, seam performance and the reinforcement around edges and attachment points. Set weathering, cleaning and fire-behaviour requirements around the finished structure and destination; the fabric data sheet does not establish structural wind or snow capacity.
Finished Frame-Tent Configurations
Roof covers are made to the tent frame and its bay spacing. Overall tent dimensions do not equal the flat cutting dimensions of a roof panel.
| Specification | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Small Frame-Tent Span Examples | 4 m, 5 m, 8 m or 10 m |
| Bay Spacing Examples | 3 m or 5 m, depending on the frame series |
| Overall Length | Repeated bays; confirm the minimum assembly and any end-bay changes for the selected frame |
| Side Height Examples | Approximately 2.3 m or 3 m in modular event-tent configurations |
| Roof Arrangement | Separate roof, gable and sidewall panels fitted to the frame geometry |
| Roof-Edge Connection | Keder edges retained in frame channels; bead and channel dimensions must match |
| Sidewall Arrangement | Divided wall panels, with ground bars or the selected frame system's bottom restraint |
| Site Design | Confirm frame anchoring, drainage and the complete structure's wind and snow requirements before fabrication |
Construction Details
Keder Edge And Frame Channel
The fabric edge carries a bead that slides into the frame channel. Specify the finished bead diameter and edge construction from the actual profile drawing.
Roof Panel And Bay Layout
A roof panel follows the pitch between frame members. Its finished length includes the attachment and tensioning details; fabric-roll width alone cannot define the cover size.

Product Overview
Discuss the application.
For PVC tarpaulin fabric rolls, state the roof-panel dimensions, surface finish and whether the additional blockout construction is required.
PVC Tarpaulin Fabric: The Layers in a Tent Panel
DLT-5201 is PVC tarpaulin fabric with a listed 1000D polyester base and a 20×20 fabric construction. PVC film covers each side of the textile in a three-layer laminate. The finished sheet is specified at 420gsm and 0.32mm thick. The reinforcement remains inside the material, while the PVC forms the exposed faces of a cut tent panel.
The technology field lists lamination/coating. For a laminated build, the films and fabric are joined into one composite, with adhesion at the interfaces contributing to its integrity during handling. This process description does not establish a particular knife-coating method. The way the sheet folds and joins should be reviewed on the actual supplied configuration, especially where a seam crosses a folded area.
Glossy and matte surfaces are listed, with custom colours and an extra blockout layer available. A blockout option changes the light-screening construction and should be specified explicitly. The standard three-layer description alone does not establish total light exclusion. The fire classifications shown in the record are customisation requests, and any required result needs evidence for the ordered material.
The width range is 1.05m to 3.2m, with a stated roll length of 50m. For tent roof panels, fabric direction, seam placement and edge detailing should be included in the cutting plan. The frame and completed roof require their own design assessment; roll weight and yarn size alone do not establish a structural load rating.
