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.
When it comes to bulk fertilizer storage buildings, grain facilities, salt sheds, and mining storage structures, it’s easy to assume the goal is simple: maximize capacity and minimize cost per...

A free-span building is the most practical choice for storing dried distillers’ grains, or DDGs. With long dimensions, high ceilings, and wide-open interior spaces, tension fabric buildings for...
“Everything that fertilizer dust touches wants to corrode.”
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.
As the Ag industry changes, the nature of fertilizer storage has to keep up with the changes. For example, with larger machinery in the fields, crops go in faster and earlier. That changes the...
Our own Paul Smith published an article in Dry Bulk Magazine in March. In it he examines five storage challenges in the dry bulk industry and how a tension fabric building can address those issues....
By combining the design flexibility and trusted engineering of a rigid steel frame building with the corrosion resistance, natural light and expedited construction of fabric structures, Legacy...
Get the most from your bulk storage facility by building to the right dimensions.
When storing bulk materials, including road salt, frac sand, fertilizer or agricultural commodities, there are two primary storage methods: horizontal (covered or uncovered) and vertical (silos,...
Corrosion is the deterioration of metal caused by the reaction of metal within the environment. Corrosion naturally occurs anywhere metal is in contact with humidity, sea air, chemicals, fertilizers,...
New fabric structure replaces corroded building

Moisture, even in small amounts, can wreak havoc on stored bulk material. Water causes agricultural products – including grain, corn, pulses, cereals, wheat, corn cobs and feed – to spoil more...
Bulk fertilizer and commodity storage may seem like a relatively simple business: increase capacity as much as possible while keeping the per-bushel storage cost low. But of course things are rarely...
Bulk material handling is a competitive business. Owners and operators are tasked with providing low-cost storage plus high-efficiency handling and loading. Count in uncontrollable factors like poor...
Design-build management is becoming increasingly popular for large projects, including government, road and infrastructure expansions. The simplified timelines and lower cost associated with...
