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.

Directional Reinforcement Within the Sheet

The listed 1000D×1300D base in DLT-5209 uses two nominal yarn sizes, with a 28×28 construction. PVC films cover the base on both faces. Keep the yarn-direction reference when testing or cutting material, especially for large tent panels. The finished 1100gsm and 0.88mm describe the whole sheet, and should be evaluated alongside the reinforcing fabric and its bond to the film.

Lamination Before Panel Fabrication

The DLT-5209 sheet is described as three layers laminated under a lamination/coating technology heading. This supports discussion of the film-and-textile bond, while leaving the precise production route for confirmation. Glossy, matte and added blockout configurations should be identified on the order. After the sheet is selected, seams and edge attachments require their own trials using the same construction intended for production.

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.

Finished-Product Configuration Examples
SpecificationConfiguration
Small Frame-Tent Span Examples4 m, 5 m, 8 m or 10 m
Bay Spacing Examples3 m or 5 m, depending on the frame series
Overall LengthRepeated bays; confirm the minimum assembly and any end-bay changes for the selected frame
Side Height ExamplesApproximately 2.3 m or 3 m in modular event-tent configurations
Roof ArrangementSeparate roof, gable and sidewall panels fitted to the frame geometry
Roof-Edge ConnectionKeder edges retained in frame channels; bead and channel dimensions must match
Sidewall ArrangementDivided wall panels, with ground bars or the selected frame system's bottom restraint
Site DesignConfirm 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.

Discuss the application.

For PVC tarpaulin rolls, include the large-panel layout, fabric-direction requirements and selected surface with the requested quantity.

PVC Tarpaulin: A Heavy Sheet and Its Reinforcing Base

DLT-5209 is PVC tarpaulin listed at 1100gsm and 0.88mm thick. Its base fabric entry identifies 1000D×1300D polyester with a 28×28 construction. PVC film on each side forms the stated three-layer laminate. The different yarn sizes describe the two reinforcing directions, which should remain identifiable when the fabricator prepares panel patterns.

The weight includes the entire PVC-and-textile composite. It does not specify the mass of reinforcement separately from the film layers. The laminate bond is another part of the construction and needs its own consideration. A heavy sheet can still require evaluation of adhesion, tensile behaviour and tear behaviour for the intended project. The technology entry is lamination/coating, without a more specific coating method.

Glossy and matte surfaces are listed with custom colours, and an extra blockout layer is available. For large tent panels, these selections should be fixed before sample approval and joining trials. The requested fire classification needs supporting evidence for the supplied material configuration. None of these finish options determines the load capacity of a complete tent structure.

Material is listed in 50m rolls within a width range of 1.05m to 3.2m. Large panel fabrication should account for overlaps, fabric direction and the handling of the completed section. The tent designer must also consider support, attachment and tensioning details. A representative seam and edge section helps connect the material choice to those construction decisions.
