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.
Free-span buildings are essential when you need to cover a large area without impeding workflow or wasting space within. No matter what type of free-span building you need, or where you’re located...
Fertilizer is corrosive. In fact, some would say it’s the worst—even harsher than salt. No wonder corrosion resistance is the number one concern for anyone looking to build a dry fertilizer storage...

Putting Solar Panels on Tension Fabric Buildings You can call it “off the grid” or “out in the middle of nowhere,” but the fact is that commercial structures are often needed where there is no...
You don’t have to live in an officially designated High Velocity Hurricane Zone or the Andes Mountains to appreciate the practical and economic value of buildings that can hold their own against...
Polyethylene (PE) fabric has been used for years as a structural cladding material. It is lightweight (but strong), durable, and reliable when installed under proper tension. PE tension fabric...
When you need a lightweight, inexpensive storage building that is fast and easy to erect, monocover buildings can be very useful. However, they generally do not meet building codes for permanent...
As manufacturing businesses grow, they need more space to house equipment and product, and they need it fast. Conventional, monocover fabric buildings are economical and simple to construct. However,...
Fabric is no stranger to the bulk commodity industry. Fabric has been established as a cost-effective option for corrosive bulk commodities such as frac sand, fertilizer, and salt. However, what if...
Caring for critical infrastructures such as roads and bridges, equipment, and other resources is a big task for those working in local, state, and national government agencies. Entrusted with...
Rising global demand, volatile prices, and geopolitical events force the oil and gas industry to reduce costs. Meanwhile, optimizing performance and improving environmental efforts has never been...
The short answer? Yes. Naturally you will want a little more context than that, as there is a lot that makes a building function; just like there is a lot to consider when choosing the building that...
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...
By definition, everything Legacy builds is a long span structure and part of the broader family of long span structures. Long span generally refers to the width of the building and the span of the...
For years, hot-dipped galvanizing (HDG) was the state-of-the-art for corrosion protection. It worked pretty well, and some folks still swear by it.
