Fabric Tension Buildings
editTension fabric buildings are constructed using a Rigid frame which can consist of timber, steel, rigid plastic, or Aluminum and a sturdy fabric outer membrane . Once the frame is erected in place, the fabric cover is stretched over the frame. The fabric cover is created to provide the structural support of the building. The fabric is created using multiple methods varying by manufacturer, creating a tight fitting cover membrane. The benefits of tension fabric buildings compared to traditional structures can be: Lower operational costs, energy savings, naturally bright, quick installation, ability to re-locate building, flexible foundation design options,and corrosion resistance. Unlike conventional or metal clad buildings, tension fabric buildings can be more economically relocated. [3]
