- Advantages of Frame-Supported Fabric Buildings
Sports bubbles and frame-supported fabric buildings are constructed of industrial fabric, typically polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE). The differences between PVC and PE are worth researching. Things to consider with the two fabrics include: 1. Long-term Durability 2. Strength 3. UV resistance Fabric as a building material is easy to wo...
Inflatable buildings are often designed as temporary, to be used during the season, deflated and stored for the rest of the year. Frame-supported buildings are permanent and designed for year-round use. All fabric requires some type of support. Sports domes use air pressure to keep the dome inflated, and that means the need for inflation is constan...
Sports bubbles used seasonally must be re-inflated at the beginning of the season, deflated at the end and then stored. During each assembly and disassembly, the playing field is out of commission for several days while technicians complete the process. This results in lost-time costs as well as the costs for the technicians themselves.
“Bubbles” and “domes” got their name because of their shape. The air support system creates a smooth, rounded shape. The inside of the dome is one large, open area. In an inflatable building, it is difficult to add additional features to the building or separate areas to use for a pro shop, spectator seating or locker rooms. The door options are li...
Although the up-front capital cost to purchase air-supported sports facilities is less, the yearly cost to operate them is considerable. The bubble needs to be inflated, and remain inflated 24/7. In addition to keeping it heated in the winter, and cooled in the summer, there is virtually no insulation. The pressurized nature of the facility means a...
As a building owner, you want your sports facility to feel as much like the big outdoors as possible. The air quality inside the air-supported structure is pressurized and that doesn’t feel natural. The curved walls and limited peak height give you, and your athletes, less overall space to work with. You don’t want your structure to impose limits o...
Modern tension fabric buildings use the same proven engineering techniques and solid steel I-beams as traditional structures. They are designed to last for decades without additional operating or maintenance costs. They are engineered to stand up to high winds, snow loads and seismic activity. How do steel-framed fabric buildings withstand environm...
The use of sports domes has become increasingly popular in recent years, not least as the technology needed to prevent excessive humidity has been refined. While most sports are naturally played outdoors, the appreciation of the value of being able to play undercover has become increasingly evident. Obvious examples of this include the addition ...
