Doors We are able to provide overhead; bi-fold and hydraulic doors in the styles and sizes to fit your fabric structure requirements. Though these doors are most easily accommodated on the end walls, we can place them virtually anywhere you desire. Most doors come with a vast array of options themselves. Consider that your overhead door can radius into the fabric building or high-lift, staying tight to the building wall and out of your way. We can also simply provide framed openings that are prepared for doors to be installed by your preferred vendor. We always attempt to contract with local door suppliers so that they can provide the future service you deserve. We also offer fabric roll-up doors if a customer demands this option. Beware that we typically recommend against this option due to a tendency for these doors to bind in the track and the potential for wind to force them from their tracks allowing the door to blow around causing great damage to the fabric walls and roof. Of course, openers are always available for any door choice as well. We offer walk in doors, double doors, and patio doors, �including all the hardware packages a customer or building official may require. Vents/Fans We can provide all the products needed to exchange the air as required for your fabric buildings use. Keep in mind, for example, that the air needs to be rotated more frequently in a fabric structure tennis facility than in a fabric storage building. Options are as simple as passive louvers with finishes appropriate for your fabric building use, or as complex as powered fans, air rotation units, and climate control systems. Ridge Vents We are happy to offer two different ridge vent options. Open ridge vents are unable to be controlled, but are typically a good choice that many customers can live with when housing livestock where good airflow continually pushes out the peak. Another option is a one-piece intake/exhaust vent that blocks rain, snow, and birds from entering. These vents are more costly and do not provide the same open-air space, but do better prevent the occasional shower from entering the peak. Graphics We can finish your fabric building building with vinyl graphics that can be used to advertise you and your business to the public. These graphics are applied directly to your fabric building roof or walls. Eave Extensions Eave extensions are essentially a continuation of your roof line at the sidewall(s) of your fabric building. These are desirable for many reasons, including aesthetics, to protect doorways and curtains and to shed moisture away from the fabric building and foundation. We can design these extensions to extend from the building any length you desire, but keep in mind that these extensions do affect truss design due to snow and wind affects. A 3-foot eave extension would be very common. Interior Columns Some clients require the benefits only a fabric building can offer, but do not necessarily require a clear span frame. Examples might include free-stall dairy barns, maintenance garages, and grain storage structures. Exploring this possibility of added columns might help to drive costs down for certain clients. Curtains We can offer a variety of curtain options that are a common accessory on livestock barns and riding arenas. Examples include drop-down, roll-up, and fully automated systems that are thermostatically controlled. We can work to find a system that fits your needs and budget. Insulation We are able to fully insulate any of our fabric buildings, if that is what suits your needs. Depending upon the use and location of a fabric building, it is common to utilize fiberglass batts ranging from R-19 to R-30. If it is all about function, we can economically support the insulation in the roof and walls, leaving it exposed. If it is about form, let us create an insulated cavity for you using an interior liner. Liners We can offer multiple fabrics used for interior fabric building liners. Liners help provide an aesthetically pleasing interior finish. This is especially important inside most recreational and event facilities. The liner will make it so you won't see the framework when standing inside (or outside, for that matter) of the fabric building. But a liner's function does not stop at pretty looks. In corrosive environments, (think salt and fertilizer) a liner helps protect the steel framework by preventing contact with the dust. This will help extend the life of the steel from, maybe, 50 years to a century or more. Sprinkler Loads When you desire, or local code requires, a sprinkler system be installed inside your fabric structure, just let us know. We can account for these additional loads in the design of our rigid frames. Viewing Platforms Viewing platforms are a popular option inside practice facilities. As is the case with most anything you can dream, adding these to your fabric structure is no problem. Conveyor Loads Conveyors are commonly desired inside structures used for various bulk storage needs. Whether the product to be conveyed is grain, salt, aggregate, or something altogether different, we have contacts with the experts that can provide the right equipment, and we are able to design our rigid framework to support the loads of these conveyors if you want them hung from the roof and out of your way. Our design software will apply the correct loads to the roof system, and follow that impact right to the building foundation. This ensures that every aspect of your project has accounted for these additional loads so that you have complete confidence in your investment. Grain Liners When storing grain, your biggest concern is the cost-per-bushel. Our grain liner packages, whether you opt for wood or steel, can be a great way to lower your cost-per-bushel. These liners are also a great way to increase the capacity you have in your flat storage building without increasing your footprint, oftentimes saving money by limiting costs on conveyors and the like. These liners can be offered right down to the ground, or installed above where a concrete wall stops. Many clients prefer a concrete wall to a certain height with the liner above it so that they can still push against the wall without hesitation.
