Weatherproof inflatable tennis dome

As the biting north-westerly winds sweep through the streets and alleys, and as swirling snow blankets the outdoor courts, tennis enthusiasts in Hohhot can finally bid farewell to the disappointment of the 'tennis hiatus'. This city, perpetually shrouded in bitter cold and snowstorms, frequently sees winter temperatures plunge below -14°C, with frequent snowfall and gale-force winds. Traditional outdoor tennis courts are routinely buried under snow and rendered unusable, while conventional reinforced concrete indoor venues not only lag behind in construction but also struggle to balance professional playing experience with operational costs. Now, Beijing Xinyuan Yijia Membrane Structure Technology Co., Ltd.'s air-supported tennis dome has emerged in Hohhot. Armed with intelligent snow and wind resistance technology and centred on a constant-temperature comfort experience, it has broken the shackles of winter tennis in the Green City.

Unlike the heavy structures of traditional reinforced concrete venues, Hohhot's air-supported tennis dome employs high-strength PVDF composite membrane material. Integrated with Peiyuan Air Membrane's diagonal cross-cable net system and intelligent control system, it evenly distributes wind and snow loads, effortlessly withstanding Hohhot's frequent winter gales while supporting snow accumulation exceeding 250kg/m³. Meeting 50-year return period wind and snow resistance standards, it maintains structural integrity and remains undamaged even during extreme weather such as blizzards and gales. This directly addresses the common winter challenges faced by traditional tennis facilities—snow accumulation, poor wind resistance, and operational disruption—truly achieving the promise that "no matter how fierce the wind or snow, the game goes on."

In Hohhot's bitter winter, warmth and comfort are paramount for athletes, and Xinyuan Air-Supported Structures' intelligent control system delivers precisely that. The venue features a fully automated intelligent regulation system that continuously monitors indoor temperature, humidity, air pressure, and air quality around the clock. It precisely maintains the indoor temperature within the optimal exercise range of 18-26°C and controls humidity between 40%-60% RH. This effectively shields the interior from the biting cold and dryness outside, freeing athletes from the discomfort of frozen hands and feet during winter workouts.

The fully enclosed air-supported structure incorporates an integrated ventilation system that effectively blocks outdoor smog, dust, and cold winds. Even during sandstorms or hazy conditions, the venue maintains excellent air quality, creating an oxygen-rich environment that safeguards participants' respiratory health. Xinyuan's air-supported membrane design team incorporates translucent membrane materials in sections of the tennis courts, allowing over 70% natural light penetration. This eliminates the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours, reducing energy consumption while creating a soft, luminous atmosphere conducive to athletic performance.

In terms of maintenance, inflatable membrane tennis courts are remarkably straightforward to operate, requiring neither complex technical expertise nor substantial manpower. The PVDF membrane features a smooth surface that resists staining and corrosion, coupled with outstanding UV resistance and ageing resilience. Routine cleaning requires only quarterly wiping with clean water and a neutral detergent. The core intelligent control system and inflation system necessitate just one to two maintenance personnel per month for regular inspections and filter replacements to ensure uninterrupted operation. Annual maintenance costs amount to merely 30% of those incurred by conventional tennis courts.

Hohhot's air-supported tennis dome stands not merely as a professional sports venue impervious to wind and snow, but also as a vital pillar for the city's public fitness initiatives. It overcomes climatic constraints on sporting activities, employing cutting-edge technology to withstand inclement weather and intelligent systems to safeguard comfortable conditions, transforming the slogan "winter sports never close" into tangible reality.
