Car dealers invest millions in onsite inventory, so protecting that inventory is critical. Sitting outdoors, cars and trucks are exposed to dust, dirt, and UV rays that can damage paint and upholstery, and all sorts of unpredictable weather. Across the US, especially in the midwest “Hail Belt,” hailstorms are increasing in frequency and ferocity, causing damage well into the billions of dollars.  

Protecting vehicles awaiting auction is equally important, especially if the inventory includes high-ticket collectible cars. Auto auction houses need wide-open space to store vehicles–in many cases, large numbers of cars at a time–and move them safely into position so bidders can view them.

And, of course, dealerships and auction houses need office space, too. A fully indoor facility protects all your assets and provides a far more comfortable year-round environment for customers and employees.

Legacy fabric structures are built on a rigid steel framework that allows complete design flexibility with clear spans of 300+ feet. They meet strict structural engineering standards and all applicable zoning and building codes capable of withstanding weather extremes.

Our proprietary ExxoTec^TM fabric is thermally efficient, allowing natural light to penetrate when uninsulated, or your building can be fully or partially insulated and lined.

Legacy structures support your bottom line with:

• Fast design and installation
• Energy efficiency and minimal maintenance
• Curb appeal that attracts and welcomes customers

Parts manufacturers need space to store supplies, completed inventory, and tooling equipment. High stacking is often essential to make the most efficient use of warehouse space. But in order to accommodate tall racks you need straight walls and a tall roof peak–and enough unobstructed floor space to safely accommodate machinery used to move stored assets.

Legacy fabric buildings are 100% custom-designed:

• Rigid I-beam framework
• Clear span design to more than 300 feet in width, any length
• Any peak height
• ExxoTec^TM fabric cladding with superior thermal, light, and acoustic properties
• Overhead doors to any size
• Efficient, effective water control and ventilation systems

Transit system buses, motor pool cars and trucks, snow removal, and other heavy equipment all represent a significant investment for municipalities and other entities. Protecting vehicles from the elements prolongs their life and allows warm engine starts on even the coldest winter days.

An indoor facility provides a safer, more comfortable working environment for maintenance crews and office staff.

Legacy fabric buildings are functionally efficient–designed for your specific specs.

• Clear span construction with no need for interior columns
• Any size doors
• Natural lighting if uninsulated, or brighter interior if partially/fully insulated and lined

Our structures can be built faster than traditional brick-and-mortar or steel buildings. And they require little to no maintenance, reducing ongoing operations costs.
