Rigid-frame tension fabric building

Tension fabric buildings from Legacy Building Solutions incorporate structural steel beams instead of open web trusses, providing flexibility for storage of bulk material or equipment, vehicle maintenance shops, and portable or stationary soil remediation facilities. The solid structural steel beams are not vulnerable to unseen corrosion originating inside a tube. Additionally, the structural steel has multiple coating options, including hot dip galvanizing, red oxide primer and powder-coat paint. Buildings can be customized to the exact width, length and height required. The straight sidewall design allows for the inclusion of a variety of overhead doors, exit doors and dormers along the sides. They have polyethylene fabric roofs that allow natural light to permeate the structure, while insulation can be added when required. 877/259-1528; www.legacybuildingsolutions.com.
