Why Choose A Fabric Shelter?
People and businesses that use temporary fabric shelters have discovered some very distinct benefits over the brick-and-mortar buildings. Some of the benefits of using a fabric shelter are:
· Re-sellable - If you need to use your fabric shelter at another location, it's easy to dissemble and then reassemble at the new site. But if you don't need it, you can always resell it!
· Low cost - You won't have the added cost of building a foundation, hiring construction crews to build your shelter, or other expenses associated with building a permanent structure.
· No Foundation - You can install a fabric shelter on earth, asphalt, concrete or any other surface because they don't require a foundation. All you need to use are helix auger anchors or concrete expansion anchors which we can supply.
· No Permits - Most temporary structures used for 90 days or less don't require a local building permit. But it's always best to check with your local building inspector about your codes. When you talk to you local building department tell them you want to put up a frame ...
... tent. You'll find the terminology you use will go a long way in determining what kind of permit, if any, will be required.
· Quick and Easy to Assemble - Two to four people, hand tools and a few ladders is all it takes to assemble a fabric shelter. You don't need to use a crane to erect our shelter, so you'll reduce your installation time and costs.
· Portable - Our fabric shelters are easy to assemble, then disassemble, and then reassemble at a new location. Since a fabric shelter is portable, it can be reused at different locations when and where you need it.
· Greater Clearspan - You get more cubic feet of coverage than virtually any other type of construction, which means you have more usable space than with standard construction methods. There are no internal poles or supports that you need to work around when using the space.
· Natural Light - A fabric shelter provides an open airy feeling, and its translucent material allows enough natural light that no electrical lighting is required during the daylight hours.
· Long Lasting - There are several factors that determine life expectancy, but there is a good chance the frame itself will be good usable condition for as long as you own it. The fabrics we use have UV inhibitors ensuring a long life, and they carry u a 15-year manufacturer's warranty.

Temporary -Vs- Permanent Shelter
Although lightweight, a fabric warehouse or building can be used for either temporary or permanent storage solutions, yet they would still be portable! Low-cost storage shelters are designed for long-term use and many are still in use for 15 years or more. Many airports - and even NASA - started using fabric shelters as temporary hangars and terminals, and after many years of withstanding the harsh climates, they're still in use today.
If you need a temporary storage solution for 90 days or less, a fabric shelter will be easy and quick to assemble, and then dissemble later on. When erecting a temporary shelter, it's good to contact your local building officials to eliminate any possible issues with building codes.
