Open, enclosed, and insulated configurations for facilities across sports, agriculture, and general use.
Purpose-built for industrial and corrosive environments where standard coatings and structures fall short.
The engineering behind a Legacy fabric building is essentially equal to its metal equivalent; the only significant difference is that one uses fabric cladding rather than metal. The technology...
In a world where flexible is defined as good and rigid is bad, we at Legacy are not afraid to say we like rigid. We are all about rigid, especially when we start talking about our frames.
We don’t need to tell you our tension fabric structures are different (even though we do it often). You can just look at them. Straight walls, solid steel frames, clean lines, and cladding tensioned...
Fabric buildings and metal buildings have a lot in common. Legacy buildings, for example, are built with solid steel tapered I-beam frames—just like the pre-engineered metal buildings.
The pandemic took a toll on many industries and we are still living through the ramifications. For the equestrian world, racetracks got hit hard. They adapted, they changed, but some of the horse...
The weather has been in the news a lot lately, and we get a lot of questions about tension fabric structures when it comes to wind, storms, snow and even seismic conditions. Traditional structures...
In terms of big projects, buying a building is right up there. There’s a lot to think about, lots of moving pieces, and a lot of ways to go off track. When buyers go “off track”, they can end up...
This is traditionally the period of summer when folks are getting a bit tired of the heat of the summer and looking forward to some autumn relief. This summer has been particularly long and hot, and...
Power plants are currently rethinking what their future looks like. Typically, one of the most stable industry sectors, utilities are undergoing rapid change and looking for new opportunities to...
When you buy a new car, or even a newer used car, it’s a great feeling. Besides enjoying all the new features, you can stop worrying about that rear back tire that seems to be losing air or that...
In this blog series “Answers from the Engineer”, our fabric structure experts answer questions related to our exclusive ExxoTec™ fabric.
If the last year has taught us anything, it taught us to think differently about how to operate a business when many of your assumptions are blown out of the water.
Air-supported fabric structures—also known as sports domes or sports bubbles—are a tempting solution for indoor sports arenas. These structures offer large free-span areas and lower costs compared to...
The world of mining is unique and making fabric structures for mining projects is the kind of challenge that Legacy loves to work on. Fabric buildings are a good match for mining operations because...
In this article from Dry Bulk Magazine, we talk about hot-dipped galvanized steel versus epoxy-coated steel when it comes to the frames of fabric structures. We examine a salt-fog test we did to test...
