Single-Row Tie-Rod Supported Membrane Carport in Jinshui, Zhengzhou

A single-row tie-rod supported membrane carport follows the roadside in Jinshui, Zhengzhou, with rear columns and an open front facing the road.

Following the roadside strip

This single-row tie-rod supported membrane carport in Jinshui District, Zhengzhou follows a narrow strip beside a road. A low retaining wall and planting sit behind it. White columns rise above the roof and connect to the forward beam ends through tie rods. The canopy projects towards the road, following the kerb between the carriageway and planting.

Light-coloured membrane panels cover repeated transverse beams. Circular openings punctuate the beams, while smaller members run along the canopy. There is no second line of ground-level columns at the open front, whose edge changes gently from bay to bay. Trees stand behind the retaining wall in a parallel row.

Ground works beneath the roof

The membrane is in place, with paving in some areas and bare earth in others. Paving materials are stacked above the retaining wall, and cones, loose bricks and rolled fabric remain near the kerb. The column bases follow the wall, while the open front faces the road.
