Pergola awning for event stage
The Lower Saxony State Garden Show in Papenburg has equipped an open-air stage with the Pergotex pergola awning from weinor.
Under the motto "MS Blühende Papenburg" (MS Blooming Papenburg), the 2014 state horticultural show scored points on the 16-hectare site with lush blooms and maritime accents in 16 themed gardens, 12 indoor flower shows and a gardeners' market. The Schiffskombüse is the central area of the city park with an intercultural garden, ForscherWerkStadt for young visitors and a stage where numerous events took place until the end of the show. In order to protect the stage area with catering unit and seating from the unpredictable northern German weather conditions, the Landesgartenschau planners envisaged a roof. It had to be stable and weatherproof, but could also be retracted if necessary. The specialist company Terrassenwelten Frank Merz, based in Papenburg, had the right solution for this.
Wind and rainproof system
A linked 7 x 7 metre system with two folding roof units is used on the event stage at the State Garden Show. They are motorised and can be controlled via a hand-held transmitter. The two Pergotex systems cover the kitchen and catering areas. The textile patio roof is ideally suited for use in Papenburg as versatile and solid weather protection. As high winds can always occur in this region, the roof construction has to withstand a lot. Pergotex is particularly robust with its tear-resistant, three-layer PVC fabric and sturdy aluminium supports and crossbars. The system can withstand wind loads up to force 8 on the Beaufort scale - even when the folding roof is extended. The robust character is supported by the laterally guided counter-pull system. In addition to protection from the wind, Pergotex also offers reliable sun protection. With a minimum pitch of eight degrees, rain protection is also provided. Water can be drained away in a controlled manner via the gutter and the drainage system integrated into the posts.
Vertical awning as a side closure
Two Aruba vertical awnings from weinor were used to visually close off the stage at the rear and protect it from draughts. The rail-guided system runs safely and smoothly even in strong gusts of wind. The drop profile holders are designed to minimise noise and ensure smooth running. When retracted, Aruba looks like a uniform, compact system because the front profile disappears almost completely into the cassette. The fabric can also be printed and used as an advertising space.
