Tensile structures are relatively low maintenance but do require regular checks to ensure their longevity. Routine maintenance includes inspecting the fabric and support structures for signs of wear or damage, cleaning the fabric to prevent the build-up of dirt and debris, and ensuring that all connections and tensioning systems are properly adjusted.
