Decades of Coastal Performance.

Salt air accelerates corrosion. Traditional steel buildings near waterways deteriorate rapidly from constant exposure to humidity, salt spray, and marine environments—forcing port operators into repeated replacement cycles that drain capital budgets and disrupt operations.

Legacy's marine-grade corrosion resistance eliminates this cycle. Our proprietary EpoxxiShield™ coating systems provide superior protection against salt air and humidity, while our non-corrosive ExxoTec™ PVC cladding remains inert to marine conditions—delivering decades of reliable performance without the maintenance burden and recurring replacement costs of traditional steel construction.

What Type of Marine Storage
Do You Need?

ports-waterways - Roof Only

Roof-Only Pavilions

Best for: Vessel storage, covered cargo staging, equipment protection, operations requiring ventilation and easy multi-side access

Weather protection with natural ventilation and daylighting. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ PVC cladding eliminates metal roofing vulnerabilities in salt air. EpoxxiShield™-coated solid I-beams resist marine corrosion better than tube trusses while supporting heavy cranes and conveyors without interior columns obstructing vessel movement.

ports-waterways - Enclosed Uninsulated Photo_Drone_Dubuque

Enclosed & Uninsulated

Best for: Year-round cargo protection, enclosed vessel maintenance, dust/debris containment, operations requiring full environmental control

Complete weather protection with passive climate moderation. Non-corrosive ExxoTec™ PVC cladding and EpoxxiShield™-coated I-beams outperform metal construction in marine environments. White cladding provides 12% translucency, which can allow for natural daylighting. Passive ventilation manages humidity without mechanical systems. Clear span design supports heavy equipment without interior columns restricting operations.

Solve Your Biggest
Marine Storage Challenges

Port and waterways operations face unique constraints—accelerated corrosion that destroys infrastructure investments, limited vessel capacity that restricts revenue, operational inefficiencies that impact profitability, and construction timelines that can't accommodate seasonal weather windows.
