MBD Fabric Covered Buildings that Crossover from the Traditional

Why Are Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings the Best Choice?  MBD structures crossover from traditional fabric covered buildings with heavy structural steel beam frames instead of open web hollow tubing, thus creating the strongest structures available on the market.  Crossover Buildings extend the advantages of traditional fabric covered buildings with superior strength & build-to-suit dimensions. MBD Crossover Fabric Buildings really are stronger and the better choice.

The Crossover Advantages Over the Others:

Build-to-Suit Dimensions

Crossovers are fully custom made per the customer's dimensional requirements.  Widths are available from 30’ to 300' and wider with free-span design.  Sidewall height and interior height can be any dimension needed for the building's application or customer's requirement. Insulation, liners, standard doors, windows, eaves and dormers can also be added.

Made in the USA

Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings are made in America, built with quality components and workmanship extending the fabric building's longevity.

Solid Rigid Steel Beam Frames – Not Hollow Tubing

The framework of our Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings consists of built-up steel beams, not hollow tubing.  Steel beams provide unparalleled strength in comparison. The steel beam framework is the same as  used in steel building construction, making the Crossover Buildings easier to pass the permitting process. 

Lead-Free Hot Dip Galvanization

Corrosion resistant rigid steel is available on Crossover structures.  A lead-free galvanization process is done after fabrication.  Prime steel is also available.

Keder Cover System

The fabric cover is installed per individual bay sections versus a single span cover.  Our HL-13 Keder Covers are the most weather secure truss to fabric cover connection available and will not rust. Plus, there will be no condensation in the building with appropriate ventilation.

IBC Compliant –International Building Code

MBD Buildings supply full calculations to justify every component of the fabric building system, not relying on a generic specification.  Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings are IBC code compliant meeting current wind and snow loads specific to the building's location.  Crossovers also meet NRCS, National Resources Conservation Service code and DNR, Department of Natural Resources certification.

Perfect for Industrial Applications

The Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings are ideal for Indoor Sports, Casinos, Entertainment, Exhibitions, Special Events, DOE, DOD, Port Authorities, Warehousing, Cold Storage, Bulk Storage, Salt Storage, Environmental, Remediation, Construction, Convention Centers, Equipment and Vehicle Showrooms and Storage, Gyms, Classrooms, Aviation, Emergency Relief, Compost Storage, Waste Management, Recycling Operations, Marine, Mining, Oil and Gas, Petroleum and Refineries, Agriculture, Hay, Wheat, Feed and Fertilizer Storage.

Advantages of Fabric Buildings Versus Wood, Pole and Metal Buildings:

Foundation Options

Fabric buildings accommodate foundation movement. There are several types of foundations available which can make fabric buildings installations faster, resulting in less overall expense.

Quick to Install

Fabric buildings typically require less lead and construction time than conventional construction, so you are able to occupy and use these structures faster than wood, pole and metal buildings.

Framework

Fabric buildings have a structural frame that consists of steel or aluminum, round and/or square, hollow tubing in different sizes or gauges.  The higher the gauge number, the thinner or weaker the tubing.  Whereas, Crossover Fabric Covered Buildings have strong, solid steel structural beam frames.

Free Span Design

Support / column / pillar free interiors that allow for maximum use of space.

Lower Building Project Cost

Total project costs, including construction, can be significantly less than metal, pole or wood structures particularly in free span applications.

Natural Sunlight Significant Energy Savings

The translucent cover plus the reflection from the white interior of the fabric increases the natural light within the structure. This can reduce or eliminate the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. A metal,  pole or wood building could cost thousands of dollars each year in additional lighting costs.

Maintenance Free

The fabric covers are virtually maintenance free. Fabric covers do not trap dust or dirt and do not require painting or shingling to maintain their clean appearance.  There are less maintenance costs with fabric buildings.

Easily Relocated

Our structures are designed to be permanent, but can be quickly disassembled and relocated with minimal impact on the environment when compared to steel or wood structures.
