Delhi's farmhouse belt — Chhatarpur, Mehrauli, Bijwasan, and Rajokri — is full of large-plot properties built around outdoor living: gardens, pools, and open-air entertaining spaces that need real weather protection without closing the space in. Tensile fabric structures are usually the right fit here, precisely because they cover a lot of ground without the visual weight of a conventional roof. Here's how to think about designing for one.

Which Structure Type Fits Which Part of Your Farmhouse
A farmhouse plot usually has more than one real use case at once — here's how they typically map to a structure type:
| Structure | Typically Used For |
|---|---|
| Gazebo | Standalone seating or relaxation features — freestanding, usually the quickest to install. |
| Pergola | Terraces and poolside patios wanting partial shade with an open-frame feel, not a fully enclosed roof. |
| Garden Structure | Backyard seating or dining corners, sized and finished to fit your existing landscaping. |
| Car Parking Shed | Guest and resident vehicle parking — often a separate structure from the leisure areas. |
| Swimming Pool Structure | Full or partial poolside coverage, sized to your pool and deck. |
Design Considerations for Farmhouse Plots
- Fit with existing landscaping and garden layout — the structure should work with your plot, not compete with it
- Structure size relative to the space it sits in, so it doesn't overwhelm a smaller garden corner or look undersized in a large lawn
- Color and finish matched to your outdoor aesthetic
- Anchoring method — soil footings for lawns, or anchoring suited to a paved garden surface, deck, or patio
- Open-frame vs. fully fabric-covered design for pergolas, depending on how much shade you actually want

Our Process, Step by Step
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Site Visit | We walk the property with you to understand how each area is used and what structures make sense where. |
| 2. Design | Structural form and placement proposed for each structure, fitted to your existing landscaping. |
| 3. Quote | A site-specific quote covering every structure in the project. |
| 4. In-House Fabrication | All structures fabricated by our own team. |
| 5. Installation | Scheduled across the property with minimal disruption to the rest of your grounds. |
| 6. Handover | Final walkthrough, plus ongoing maintenance support. |
Fabric Grade for Garden and Poolside Use
PVC is usually sufficient for garden-scale structures and is the standard choice for most gazebos, pergolas, and garden structures. PTFE is worth considering if you want a longer service life — particularly near a pool, where sustained humidity exposure is more demanding on the fabric than a dry garden corner. See our tensile structure page for the full fabric-grade comparison.
