Benefits of Fabric
Natural Light
- Enjoy the abundance of natural light found in fabric structures.
- Cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter.
- Natural light equals fewer lights installed and powered, lower energy costs.
- Better building envelope, nearly airtight with no penetrations.
Corrosion Resistance
- Industrial fabric buildings are rust and corrosion-resistant, especially to paper, salt, fertilizer, sludge, compost and other materials and processes that are harmful to steel.
- Steel support beams and trusses used in fabric structures are typically hot dip galvanized, which is one of the most effective ways to inhibit rust.
- Since fabric buildings have no screws or nails that penetrate outside roof and wall surfaces, there are no holes that can leak water and promote rust and corrosion.
Fully Customizable
- Since fabric buildings have no screws or nails that penetrate outside roof and wall surfaces, there are no holes that can leak water and promote rust and corrosion.
- Can include offset peaks, varying column heights, sidewall dormers, lean-tos, and mono-slope roofs.
- Straight sidewalls allow you to utilize every available square foot.
Relocatable
- Fabric buildings are engineered to be permanent yet may easily be ported or relocated.
Superior Strength
- Rigid frame engineering can account for additional loads to be placed on the structure, such as conveyors, cranes or fire suppression systems.
- The rigid frame is engineered to meet or exceed local codes related to wind, snow and seismic activity.
Installation and Maintenance
- Fabric buildings are installed quickly, for a faster return on your investment.
- Minimal maintenance requirements.
- Single source engineering, manufacturing, and installation.

Energy Efficiency
Our fabric roofs feature up to 12% translucency, providing natural illumination for building interiors during the day. Because sunlight accounts for daytime lighting needs in a Legacy structure, it’s unnecessary to rely on artificial lighting during these hours. This helps to reduce energy costs throughout the life of the building.
- When the sun is out, our buildings exceed the recommended guidelines of 75 to 100 foot-candles of illumination
- Translucent fabrics serve as a connection between interior and exterior spaces
- Fabric buildings can include skylights and solar panels
