FIVE-ARCH HALL – A TENNIS-DEDICATED SOLUTION FROM GRIMAR

A tennis-specific solution is the five-arch hall with slanted gable walls.

The hall is based on five arched girders made of steel I-beams, with a roof sloping from the outer arches toward the gable frame with a height of 2.3 meters.

Advantages of slanted gable walls:

  • Reduce the internal volume of the hall, indirectly lowering heating costs

  • Increase the stability of the covering in strong wind gusts

  • Enable a design with optimal material usage, at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional heavy structures
