Combining rigid frame engineering with the benefits of tension fabric, Legacy Building Solutions offers the first line of fabric buildings to incorporate structural steel beams instead of open web trusses. This engineering concept provides a high level of flexibility for a variety of building applications, including vehicle maintenance shops, public works, and general storage.

Legacy buildings feature polyethylene fabric roofs that eliminate the corrosion concerns associated with metal-constructed facilities. A wide variety of PVC fabrics are also available. The fabric allows natural light to permeate the structure, reducing or eliminating the need for artificial lighting inside, according to the manufacturer. Additionally, insulation can be added to meet energy codes when required. 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 advantages, including the flexibility to customize buildings beyond the confines of standard sizes to the exact width, length, and height required. The design allows for wide door openings, as well as the addition of side doors. 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 other systems.

According to the manufacutrer, sidewalls can be customized and built with any desired material — including steel, paneling, or siding — and lined with fabric to prevent corrosion to the interior. Legacy steel components and fabric covers are backed by a 15-year warranty.
