Message: [QUOTE="SUbear, post: 2987137, member: 892"] Found out a litlle bit more and they are not just hung, they are under tension which should take care of the problems I was concerned about by you saying the roof was hung. They are indeed supported by cables from above, however the fabric panels are under tension from other cables and the stanchions. As I said in my previous post a matter of semantics and incomplete info. The word hung simply did not supply adequate meaning to determine the system involved, it is a little more than hanging out the laundry. Similar type roofs are in existence but most that I found were not in areas that experience Syracuse weather conditions, the ones I found in similar conditions were not supporting the span that the dome roof covers. The largest similar type roof I found is over the new Atlanta dome with a seating capacity of approximately 70,000, but it will probably never experience Syracuse type weather conditions. [/QUOTE]
