What are tensioned fabric structures?

Tensioned fabric structures start with metal frames and then a flexible cover is tightened over the frame thus creating a tensioned structure.

Incredibly strong fabrics make possible extremely large clear-span structures.

Some of the largest stadiums, shopping malls, airports and other large commercial structures are tensioned fabric structures.

Fabric buildings offer the best solution for anyone needing an open airy environment that is flooded with natural light. Tensioned Fabric Structures is the proper term for fabric covered buildings.

The need for fabric buildings varies widely. Some people want (and need) large sophisticated fabric structures while others need small, low cost, temporary, portable shelters. At Fabric Structures-USA we offer both Fabric/Structures and Fabric/Shelters to meet your individual needs.

A fabric building such as a Fabric/Shelter is the same basic shelter we have been marketing for over a quarter of a century. There are thousands of Fabric Shelters around the world & they require no foundations making them perfect for temporary use. However, once installed a Fabric/Shelter can remain in use indefinitely. Many time our customer’s order a shelter thinking that it will be the perfect short term solution to their weather protection needs only to learn, once their shelter arrives that not only will a fabric shelter meet their short term needs but also their long term needs. Many customer’s tell us what they received is so much more than what they expected when they placed the order.

A fabric shelter can be erected faster than virtually any other type of construction on the market. Smaller sizes can be erected by a crew of two to three people using hand tools and a ladder in as little as a few hours to a day or two. Larger sizes require lifting equipment, a three to five person crew and several days. Because of their lightweight and ease of assembly, Fabric/Shelters are perfect for use as instant workshops in remote locations and on construction sites. If you are in the market for a temporary building / portable building / temporary shelter or temporary storage doesn't it make sense to go with a company that knows both the large structure market as well as the shelter market. Think Fabric Structures-USA when you think of any size fabric building.
