Shadenet structures - drawing tips

Hello
Would appreciate it if someone could share their ideas on quickly drawing shadenet structures (and generally other tensile structures).

I need to draw shadenet structure for parking. There is one peak, with the structure curving slightly in section. I've been using the mesh tool, but find it tedious to create the arch form.

thanks

I recall a free "tent" object floating around. You might search the archives to see what you can find.
