These
two tennis structures engineered and erected by ASATI CEO Donato
Fraioli in 1970 are the structures that are responsible
for the recognition of the use of air structures for Tennis and
created the growth of the indoor tennis industry worldwide.
World champions frequently played in these two famous tennis air
structure facilities. These Wall Street Racquet Club Tennis
Domes received worldwide exposure from the filming of the Oscar
winning movie “Annie Hall” movie staring Woody Allen and Diane
Keaton.
The
interior of the two structures are heated by the forced hot air
inflation heating system with automatic controls for maintaining
70 deg. within the structures when outside temperatures are as
low as 10 deg. below zero. The double wall liner with the highly
translucent stay clean white envelope cut heating cost in half
while providing over 1,000-foot candles of natural energy free
lighting to transmit to the interior during the daytime hours.
This double wall R4 and later triple wall R8 insulating liners
were Patented by Donato Fraioli. |
