Tensile structures in Kathmandu
Retractable roofs, tensile structures and zip screens for Nepal, where WhiteShed has built for Yak Brewing Company.
Proven in Nepal
WhiteShed Solutions LLP has delivered a retractable roof pergola in Nepal for Yak Brewing Company at Barahsinghe.
Kathmandu sits in a high valley with a wet monsoon from June to September and cool, dry winters. Hotels, restaurants, breweries, cafes and homes want outdoor seating that is open in the dry season and covered in the rains. We take projects in Kathmandu and elsewhere in Nepal, with design and fabrication at our factory in Thane, India.

What we build in Kathmandu
Entrance canopies, walkways, terrace and courtyard covers, pool shade and gazebos.
Cantilever and arch parking sheds for homes, societies, offices and factories.
Motorised roofs that open and close terraces, restaurants and courtyards.
Side-guided screens that close balconies, terraces and seating against rain, wind and sun.
Building in Kathmandu
What should a Kathmandu project plan for?
- Monsoon then dry season: retractable roofs suit a climate with months of rain followed by months of clear weather.
- Cool evenings: zip screens and closed roofs keep seating usable after dark in winter.
- Structural requirements: wind and seismic requirements for the site are taken up in the structural design with the project’s engineer.
Typical projects in Kathmandu
Restaurants, breweries and cafes: retractable pergolas and roofs over outdoor seating, zip screens for the sides. Hotels and resorts: terrace, courtyard and garden structures. Residences: terrace covers and car porches. Institutions and commercial buildings: entrance canopies and walkways.
