Fabric membrane canopies from Birdair will provide shade and comfort at Haddad Riverfront Park’s new development in Charleston, West Virginia.

Birdair’s TiO₂-coated PTFE-coated woven fiberglass membrane has been specified for a retractable fabric canopy over the park’s existing seating area, a steel and fabric roof for the park’s new permanent stage and a canopy covering a new pavilion overlooking the Kanawha River.

The project is slated for completion by Memorial Day 2010, when it will begin serving as a venue for the West Virginia Symphony and other entertainment.

The project is funded by a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SBA’s funding should not be construed as an endorsement of products, opinions or services. All SBA-funded projects are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis.
