Fabric Tent Structures

Fabric Tent Structures Are the Ideal Solution for Commercial, Industrial & Military Organizations

Fabric Tent Structures

Companies serving a range of industries are turning to Big Top when they need a temporary building for their operations. Why opt for Big Top’s fabric tent structures rather than use buildings made of brick, wood, or some other traditional material? There are many reasons to consider, including that they are more flexible and cost less per square foot.

Flexible Applications for Your Business Needs

One reason our fabric buildings are more flexible is that they are portable. They do not require a permanent concrete foundation, and can be anchored to nearly anything. In fact, we can anchor our tent structures to asphalt, gravel, and even shipping containers, which can be used for storage, office space, or other application. They can also be moved around your footprint intact with a crane, or disassembled and shipped to a new location should you decided to relocate your base of operations.

Plenty of Space for Your Production

Big Top’s fabric tent structures feature a clear span design. This means they do not rely on interior support poles or guy-wires and have wide open, spacious interiors so people can easily move around in them. Our fabric structures can be nearly any size you need, up to 80 feet high, 174 feet wide, and almost any length.

Superior Energy Efficiency

At Big Top, we construct our tent structures with a translucent fabric cover that allows natural light to shine through. Having ample sunlight filtering through your building can reduce your reliance on electricity and help you lower your monthly energy bills.

Thermal Protection

Our fabric tent structures not only protect against rain, sleet, snow, and hail, but they also provide a comfortable working environment. Indeed, the fabric cover is formulated to repel 99.95% of UV-A and UV-B radiation, providing ample protection for your staff and materials, and helping to maximize the lifespan of your equipment. Thanks to this exceptional thermal performance, the interior of our buildings is 15 degrees, on average, cooler than the outside temperature during the summer and 15 degrees warmer than the outside temperature during the winter, ensuring your employees are comfortable throughout the day. And because you won’t have to run artificial climate control, you can reap even more energy savings with a Big Top tent structure.

Tax Advantages

Because our temporary buildings are made of fabric and do not require a permanent concrete foundation, they can be deemed as equipment with the IRS and potentially be eligible for tax benefits.

Swift Deployments

Big Top’s fabric tent structures can be erected at a rate of 2,500 square feet per day, and they do not require specialized skills from an outside contractor. In fact, we proudly offer turnkey installation services for our customers and can handle assembly for you so that your team can focus on their day-to-day tasks.

Custom Designs for Any Applications

Rather than offer you a few standard designs to choose from, Big Top will take the time to learn what you need out of a tent structure and design the perfect solution for your business operations. For instance, we can include flooring, doors, insulation, HVAC units, lightning protection, and other high-quality accessories in your temporary building.
