A series of interlinked fabric walkways situated within the courtyard of the Jersey Pottery to provide weather protection for visitors and employees moving between the various pottery buildings. The walkways comprise upright steel columns that support arches to create runs of steel frames. Individual PVC canopies are attached to the frames tensioned using stainless steel boundary cables and stainless steel membrane plates.
In 2000 Jersey Pottery opened a museum dedicated to the history of the company and also extended its kitchens and restaurant together with other improvements.
Functional and eye-catching, the walkway canopies complement the improvements carried out at the pottery. To fit in with a busy development programme the stainless steel cables and membrane plates were fitted to the PVC fabric at our factory before being delivered to site. This meant that we were able to carry out installation of all of the steelwork, fit ground anchors and install and tension the fabric all within one week.
