Design Flexibility for Fabric Structures

The Calhoun Difference

How can I customize my fabric structure?

Calhoun fabric structures offer total design flexibility. Customization options include integrated ventilation systems, insulation and liners, daylight panels, solar panel integration, and custom end-wall configurations to meet specific operational needs. While Calhoun’s fabric buildings require careful design to address the effects of wind and snow load on both the internal and exterior structure, we are dedicated to giving you total fabric building design flexibility on your new fabric structure. We’ve even employed fabric building design for hurricane-force winds, taking into consideration orientation of exits and entries, configuration of walls, bay spacing, truss placement, purlins, longitudinal bracing members, and the use of concrete walls to provide rigid, supportive mount for buildings.

We also work with foundation designers to make accommodations for different styles of foundations with the end goal of lower install cost to you. If your space needs change, or you need to move to a more suited location, Calhoun’s fabric structures are also relocatable, and can be transported flawlessly to wherever you need it most. Our structures can be placed almost anywhere.
