Wellen Park

Wellen Park in Venice, Florida, sought to develop a shade and gathering space—a central element enhancing their commercial and residential property. They envisioned a fabric structure to adorn the landscape and provide a shaded sanctuary for park-goers and local patrons. With Guildworks spearheading the interpretation, design, build, and installation of the vision, the resulting structure became a multi-use masterpiece that captures the essence of Wellen Park.

This fabric structure graces the triangular space, adding visual interest and offering a welcoming oasis for the community. Crafted with meticulous precision, the fabric structure stands steadfast against nature's forces. Engineered and built to withstand wind speeds of up to 150 MPH, it proved its strength during a powerful hurricane in 2022.

The fabric material HDPE features a webbing edge and reinforced D-Rings that are attached to turnbuckles and a complex reinforced 30’ tall steel frame, spanning 1585 sf.
