3 Reasons to Consider a Fabric Building for Storage

Sticking to what you know is a comfortable and familiar route, however breaking tradition can be very rewarding. If you need some extra storage space, you should consider getting a fabric building or clear span building instead of an expensive, time consuming, traditional building. Despite some common misconceptions, these structures are just as durable and effective as traditional buildings. Here are three reasons to consider a fabric building for your storage space:

Benefits of Fabric Storage Units

Unlike metal storage units, fabric clear span buildings are non-corrosive and can last up to 20 years; if built correctly. The fabric used to make the building is extremely thick and won’t cut or rip easily. Shelter Structures coats their fabric, instead of laminating, to extend the life of the fabric. But, best of all, building a fabric storage unit costs much less than building a metal building. You can customize the storage unit based on your unique storage needs. Adding and removing extra space to a fabric building only takes a few hours, and they’re also extremely easy to repair. In most cases, all you need is a patch for the fabric to reseal the structure.

How Fabric Buildings Protect Your Possessions from the Elements

While you might think that fabric structures do little to protect your possessions from the elements, they’re actually just as effective as metal storage units. You can use air conditioning or heating systems in the fabric storage unit to keep your possessions the right temperature. These buildings also let in plenty of natural light, helping you cut down on your energy bills.

How Fabric Buildings Are Different Than Metal Buildings

Clear span buildings are extremely lightweight, which means they don’t need columns and pillars for extra support, unlike metal buildings. You can keep the entire space open, helping you fit more of your personal possessions in your fabric building. Whether it be airplanes or large machinery, clear span buildings offer an incredible amount of usable space. These buildings are perfect for housing large or bulky items without the worry about support beams and pillars.

Regardless of what you need to store, you can keep it safe by building a low-cost, customizable fabric building. They’re non-corrosive, easy to repair, and they protect your belongings from the elements.
