Building Active Spaces with Vision and Precision

At Collinson Tensile, we believe sports and leisure facilities should be more than just functional – they should inspire activity, create community, and stand the test of time. With decades of experience in designing and constructing bespoke tensile structures, we deliver innovative solutions that meet the unique needs of the sports and leisure sector.

From community leisure centres and multi-use games areas to large-scale sporting arenas, we provide a complete turnkey service. Our team manages every stage of a project – from initial concept and architectural design, through engineering and fabrication, to installation and aftercare. This integrated approach ensures quality, efficiency, and exceptional value at every step.

Why Tensile for Sports & Leisure?Tensile structures are lightweight yet robust, offering a striking architectural aesthetic alongside practical performance benefits:

  • Light-filled environments – natural daylight transforms sporting spaces into welcoming, energy-efficient venues.
  • Large, clear spans – column-free interiors create uninterrupted playing surfaces and spectator areas.
  • Durability & sustainability – engineered for long lifespans with minimal maintenance, reducing whole-life costs.
  • Design flexibility – tailored to the character and requirements of each facility with an emphasis on creating landmark venues.
  • Wide range of use: Football, Rugby, Padel, Tennis, Netball, Basketball, Equestrian.

That’s why our structures are designed with inclusivity, accessibility, and user experience at their core.
