Heavy Duty, Flexible Solutions for Businesses

When you think of a warehouse, or an industrial marina for large boats, you envision a brick-and-motor or metal building, right? Right. But now businesses around the world have a solution for temporary warehouses or buildings: fabric structures.

Fabric structures are the perfect temporary solution for industrial and commercial portable buildings and structures. What are the benefits of fabric structures?
· Economical - Because you won't need a foundation, construction crew to build the structure or the costs associated with building a structure from the ground floor up, you'll save money. You'll also be able to service clients quicker since our structures can be erected faster and for less money than virtually any other solution on the market.
· Portable - Despite the fabric structure's large size, if you needed to move it you could because it doesn't require a foundation. For the ultimate in portability we can configure your structure to be wheel-mounted and crane liftable. You will find our wheel mounted and crane liftable structures at ...
... marinas and shipyards all over the world.
· Weatherproof - Fabric structures can withstand 75 to 120 MPH wind load ratings. They can also handle 12 to 40 pounds/Sq.ft. of snow or live load ratings.
· Clearspan - Because there are no internal pillars or posts holding the structure up, a fabric structure provides more space per square foot. Clearspans range from 12 feet wide to 166 feet wide, by virtually any length.
· Quick Installation - Our structures can be assembled and erected faster than just about any other type of structure on the market with a minimum amount of heavy equipment. In fact most of the smaller (28'W and smaller) Fabric Structures can be assembled with very little to no heavy equipment. For most medium sized (32'W - 96'W) you a telescoping fork lift and scissor lifts are recommended. Only the very largest fabric structures 96'W - 166'W) require a crane but even then our structures are much quicker to assemble and erect than brick-and-mortar construction.

· Permanent - Although fabric structures are perfect for temporary structures, they are also used as permanent structures in airports, marinas, warehousing, construction sites, manufacturing and other industries due to their durability, low-cost and quick and easy assembly.

Perfect Temporary Shelter Solution for Commercial Industries

Fabric structures offer are clearspan, weatherproof, durable and portable. That makes them perfect for a wide range of commercial industries including:
· Marine Painting and Sandblasting Containment -Since the fabric is durable, marine painting and sandblasting can be done year round. Also, the transparency of the fabric provides excellent natural light, allowing work to be done during daylight hours without a need for electrical lights.
· Marine Industry - Fabric structures can be wheel-mountable, which is perfect for marinas that service large ships or boats which needs to move structures around as the projects finish and new ones get started.
· Boat slip covers - Perfect for both personal and business-owned boats, fabric structures can house one large boat to several boats at a public or private marinas. The clearspan allows boat slips more room per boat.
· Warehousing and Storage - A fabric warehouse is perfect as a temporary warehouse. From construction equipment to industrial products, a fabric structure will provide more space per square foot, costing the company less for warehousing and storage and when the project or special need is completed our structure can be moved to the next job site or sold.
· Construction - Almost all construction sites require temporary structures, our fabric structures are the perfect solution for storing heavy equipment, building materials and other items. Once the construction is over, the fabric structure can be disassembled and reassembled at the next location.
· Concrete Curing - When concrete is poured for a large construction site, it has to be covered from the elements so it can properly cure. A fabric structure is the perfect weatherproof solution, keeping the concrete safe from harsh weather no matter where the site is located.
· Aircraft Hangars - From small private airports to NASA, fabric structures are the perfect solution for aircraft hangars. They can be used temporarily or permanently, depending on your needs.
· Sports and Recreation - Many cities can't afford to budget for a brick-and-mortar or metal building at sports and recreation parks, but they can afford a fabric structure. They are the perfect solution for sports arenas and recreation centers.
· Exhibition - Portability is key for fabric structures used as exhibition halls at fairs, parks, universities, race tracks and other venues. They can be left up year round or erected as a temporary structure.
