ABSTRACT This paper concerns the design, calculations and construction of a hyperbolic paraboloid steel shell structure used as a roof for an outdoor music stage. The structure was calculated using FEM analysis and constructed using standard steel trusses and trapezoidal steel plates. The steel structure is lined with wood and covered with roofing felt.
