Fabric Covered Buildings Accessories

Doors

We provide overhead, bi-fold and hydraulic doors in the sizes you want and that makes sense for your fabric building.  They can be installed in the end walls or sides.  We can also provide framed openings that are prepared for doors to be installed by your preferred vendor or general contractor. A gathered fabric door is also an option.

We offer walk in doors, double doors, and patio doors, full light doors �including all the hardware packages.


Vents and Fans

We can provide vents and fans to exchange the air in your fabric building.  Air needs to be rotated more frequently in a fabric building tennis facility than in a fabric storage building. Passive louvers with finishes appropriate for your fabric building's use can be used, or, if required, powered fans, air rotation units, and climate control systems can be installed.

Ridge Vents

Open ridge vents are not controllable, but are a good choice when housing livestock where good airflow continually pushes out the peak.

Another option is a vent that blocks rain, snow, and keeps birds from entering the building. These vents are more costly and do not provide the same open-air space, but prevent the rain showers from entering the peak.  They are one piece intake/exhaust vents.

Eave Extensions

Eave extensions are a continuation of your roof line at the sidewall of the fabric building. They are desirable for many reasons, including aesthetics, to protect doorways, curtains and to shed moisture away from the fabric building and foundation. With eaves you will be able to attach a gutter system. A 2' to 3' eave extension would be very common.

Curtains

There are a variety of curtain options that are available. Examples include drop-down, roll-up, and fully automated systems that are thermostatically controlled.  You may also want side curtains for design, such as portholes or scallops that can be raised or lowered depending upon the current look that you want for your fabric building.

Insulation

We are able to fully insulate our fabric buildings. Depending upon the use and location of the fabric building, we utilize fiberglass batts ranging from R-19 to

R-49.

Liners

There are multiple fabrics used for interior fabric building liners. Liners can provide an elegant look or be very functional as in the case of sports and recreation facilities when they are heated or cooled.  The IBC requires insulation, and adding the liner helps control condensation and humidity.  In corrosive environments, (like salt and fertilizer) a liner helps protect the steel framework by preventing contact with the dust. The liner helps extend the life of the steel.

Grain Liners

Using grain liners lower your cost-per-bushel. These liners are also a great way to increase the capacity in a flat storage fabric grain building without increasing your footprint, oftentimes saving money by limiting costs. These liners can be installed right down to the ground, or installed above where a concrete wall stops.

Sprinklers

When local code requires it, a sprinkler system can be installed inside your fabric building. The loads for installing a sprinkler system will need to be engineered into the fabric building at the time of quoting.

Viewing Platforms

Viewing platforms are an option to consider for sports and recreation fabric buildings as well as equine riding and training arenas.

Conveyors and  Catwalks

Conveyors and catwalks are used in buildings for various bulk storage needs.  No matter what the commodity, i.e., grain, salt, or aggregates we are able to design our fabric buildings to support the load of the conveyors and catwalks without adding column supports within your building. Your fabric building estimate / quote would have the engineering included for these extra loads to the building frame and foundation.
