Tension Fabric Buildings feature rigid structural steel frame.
Press Release Summary:
Incorporating structural steel beams instead of open web trusses, Legendary Building Series is suitable for agriculture buildings, commodity storage, recreational facilities, and commercial/industrial warehousing. Polyethylene fabric roofs eliminate corrosion and allow natural light to permeate structure. Sidewalls can be customized and built with any desired material - including steel, paneling, or siding - and then lined with fabric to prevent corrosion to interior.

Legacy the First to Offer Tension Fabric Buildings with Rigid Frame, Structural Steel
SOUTH HAVEN, Minn. - Combining superior quality rigid frame engineering with the proven benefits of tension fabric, Legacy Building Solutions introduces its Legendary Building Series, the industry's first line of fabric buildings to incorporate structural steel beams instead of open web trusses. This new engineering concept provides a high level of flexibility for a wide range of applications, including cattle and agriculture buildings, commodity storage, riding arenas, recreational facilities, commercial and industrial warehousing, and recycling.
Legacy buildings utilize a durable rigid frame in place of the hollow-tube, open web truss framing traditionally used for fabric buildings. Unlike hollow tube steel, Legacy's 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.
The strength of the structural steel frame provides several engineering advantages, most notably the flexibility to customize buildings beyond the confines of standard sizes to the exact width, length and height required. The design allows for much wider doors than possible with web truss, and adding side doors is simple as well. Structures can be modified to provide desired eave extensions and interior columns. They can also be engineered to handle additional loads for conveyors, sprinklers and even commodity loads on the sidewalls.
Legacy buildings feature high-quality polyethylene fabric roofs that eliminate the corrosion concerns associated with metal-constructed facilities. A wide variety of PVC fabrics are also available. The durable fabric allows natural light to permeate the structure, while insulation can be added to meet energy codes when required.
Installation is faster than with conventional buildings, and the design can be adjusted for stationary or portable applications. Sidewalls can be customized and built with any desired material - including steel, paneling or siding - and then easily lined with fabric to prevent corrosion to the interior. Legacy steel components and fabric covers are backed by a 15-year warranty.
Legacy offers assistance from concept to completion, including renderings, foundation design, installation and project management. To date, Legacy's in-house, professional installation crews have constructed over 25 million square feet of fabric buildings.
Legacy Building Solutions specializes in the innovative design, engineering and construction of fabric-covered buildings for several different industries and applications.
