PRODUCT FEATURES

Fabric Shelters
Portable buildings, temporary buildings and temporary shelters are all terms used for Fabric Shelters. Fabric Shelters are for use by customers with light industrial, agricultural and home applications who want and need relatively small, low cost, temporary, portable weather protection. Our Fabric Shelter products are Quonset, Gabled or Slant wall styles and are designed to meet those needs. Economical clear span Fabric Shelters range in size from 12' to 100' wide in varying lengths. Fabric Shelters under 45' wide do not carry a specific wind or snow load rating but there are literally thousands of Fabric Shelters in use around the world today. Fabric Shelters less than 45'W require no footer / no foundation making them the perfect low cost temporary building solution for your weather protection needs. In order to keep cost low Fabric Shelters are offered in standard sizes and modifications can not be made. Because of the standardization Fabric Shelters typically sell for considerably less than a comparably sized Fabric Structure.

Fabric/Shelters are the same basic fabric shelters that have been around for over a quarter century. Fabric/Shelters are either Quonset or Gabled styles in shape. (Go to the Technical Specifications page for a visual representation of the various shapes).

Standard Fabric/Shelters are suitable for use when environmental factors are of minimal concern. We offer a heavy duty option on most Fabric/Shelters which may give you more protection against snow or wind.

Fabric /Shelters and Fabric /Structures are ideal when; you are on leased land and you do not wish to improve someone else’s property, you need to be able to relocate, or any time you need truly portable weather protection.

Fabric/Structures are fully engineered structures that meet the wind and snow load requirement of most building codes.  Typically, wind loads range from 70 to 120 MPH with snow loads ranging from 12 to 40 PSF.  Certified engineering calculations and drawings are available for every Fabric/Structure, although there is normally an additional fee for this service.  Fabric/Structures range in size from 12' to 200' wide by virtually any length.  Fabric/Structures up to 150'wide, just like Fabric/Shelters, do not require foundations.  Every Fabric/Structure is portable, so they too can be used as a temporary building in areas that require building permits or have environmental loads that exceed the capabilities of a Fabric/Shelter.
