Tension fabric buildings feature structural steel frame
Combining rigid-frame engineering with the benefits of tension-fabric membranes, this company offers fabric structures that are fully customizable. This design concept provides a high level of flexibility for a wide array of applications and industries, including commercial and industrial warehousing, cold-storage facilities, equipment and bulk material storage, treatment plants and many more. These fabric buildings utilize a durable rigid frame in place of the hollow-tube, open web-truss “hoop” framing traditionally used for fabric structures. The strength of the structural steel frame provides several engineering advantages, most notably the ability to easily customize buildings to the exact width, length and height required. In addition to long clear spans, the buildings have straight sidewalls that maximize the useable square footage inside the structure. — Legacy Building Solutions, South Haven, Minn.
