Recreational Building Commercial

For anyone interested in researching fabric-covered buildings, here is a page from a site I selected randomly when I did a search for fabric-covered buildings as Paul Smucker from Oregon suggested.

This site belongs to a seller of such buildings, and the page I've linked to features recreational uses for such buildings.  Rightly or wrongly, I get the impression that this company may be one of the higher-end manufacturers of this product.  The company is located in Iowa.  Here is a list of what is promised when fabric-covered buildings are used as recreational facilities:


  • Fabric covers that absorb noise
  • Natural light to reduce energy costs, making them the ideal choice for indoor sports facilities
  • Optional straight sidewalls to accommodate overhead and exit doors
  • Ideal for sports buildings such as an indoor tennis facility
  • Flexibility to support fire suppression systems, sprinklers, ventilation, HVAC, lights, viewing platforms, sports nets, and more
  • A 20-year steel and fabric warranty, the best in the industry
  • HL13 fabric with HYDRA-LOCâ„¢ technology, the most durable fabric cover available on the market
  • Best of all, because Accu-Steel indoor sports facilities can be installed quickly and easily, you can start using your new indoor sport structures sooner.

  •  I also learned that the cover is manufactured in such a way that each bay can be separated from the next.  In my mind, this opens up the possibility of replacing the canvas cover in a few places with a clear cover that would allow for more solar heat gain in the winter months when that is an advantage.

    Navigating within the site reveals a lot more about fabric-covered buildings.

    For example, on the Benefits of Fabric Covered Buildings:

    ENERGY EFFICIENT
    Thanks to innovative design, our fabric covered buildings offer superior cost control, energy savings, and natural temperature regulation over traditional metal buildings and pole barns.

    RELOCATABLE
    Our powerful but lightweight fabric covered buildings go wherever you need them to, making them the ideal choice for a variety of industries. And while our structures are incredibly strong and durable, they are much easier to install than traditional pole barns or metal buildings.

    VERSATILE
    Adjustable clear-span space, length, and width allow you to control and customize your building for endless possibilities. Our fabric covered buildings also come in a variety of colors, styles, and shapes with special features such as lights, conveyors, fans, sprinklers, and anchors.

    LOW OPERATING COST
    Our fabric covered buildings require less maintenance than metal buildings or pole barns, and depending on your location, you could be entitled to tax advantages.

    I have no reason to recommend the particular brand of buildings featured in the above site.  I do have the growing sense that this building style has much to recommend it, and am in favor of others with more commercial and construction background than I have to examine the possibilities closely.
