Tensile mesh can be used for public infrastructure and sports facilities to exhibition venues and warehouses. It can be turned into a safety barrier or a roof, and an aesthetically-pleasing one at that. But before getting into visuals here are 5 things to consider:

What is the structure's function? A greenery trellis structure will have different requirements from that of an anti-throw barrier.
What will be the final shape or form? Prefabricated frames are the foundation of tensile mesh structures.
What are the details? This should include the tensile mesh orientation and lacing support details. Will there be rods, tubes, or cables? Will the mesh be soft or stiff?
What are the building codes? Always remember tensile mesh structures need to comply with the appropriate building standards.
Will it be climbable? Climbability of the structure will depend on the aperture or gaps in the tensile mesh.
