The
beautiful clear-span structure is streamline in appearance and has a
sleek style due to the design of the large metal arches that stretch
from side to side. These arches can be 8' to 12' apart and are anchored
with large auger stakes, or for more permanent use, anchored with large
bolts into the foundation or floor at the base of each arch.
This wonderful building
may be used as a portable structure allowing about 2 to 4 days to erect
and dismantle for the occasional move. Perhaps for a year or more. More
often it is used as an intermediate or permanent building.
The extra-heavy 28 oz. coated
polyvinyl material is the best in the industry. Each panel of vinyl
material is fastened between the sides of two arches. There are open
ribs for the edges of the material to slip into. Then the panels slide
up and over, all the way to the other side. Stress is put between the
arches tightening the panels and adding stress resistance.
These structures can withstand
up to 130 mph winds. The life span is approx.. 15 to 20 years, at which
point they will be re-skinned. The clear-span can also have doors, windows,
and even large commercial truck size garage doors to pass vehicles through.
Sizes may run from small 30' x 40' up to 200' x any length. Also the
rounded end styles are very popular.
The unique clear-span is
used worldwide as churches, theaters, exhibit space, storage warehouse,
casinos, schools, housing, sports activities, ice rinks, etc.
