Reynobond with Kevlar
Reynobond with Kevlar sandwiched by Teccell (Roof and wall panels)
ADVANTAGES • Lightweight • Flexible • Five times stronger than steel • Easy to use and maintain • Affordable to install
Teccell ADVANTAGES • Saves energy by reducing the weight of the logistic and Packaging materials • High Strength and rigidity
Mechenical connection Inspired by japanese joinery,the aluminium frame requiresno tool and screws toassemble. The lightweight quality of aluminium also reduces the labor requiredfor assembly.
Scissor Jack In the coners of the base are four scissor jacks that allow the users to adjust the height of each corner according to the landscape and make sure the structure is not slanted.
