Fabric Structures for Equipment Storage: Maximize Efficiency, Protect Your Assets

When equipment storage becomes tight, inefficient, or too expensive to maintain, it’s time to rethink your approach. Fabric structures for equipment storage offer a practical, cost-effective alternative to conventional buildings. They’re quick to install, customizable to your layout, and designed to perform in real-world conditions.

At Britespan, our structures are built with operational function in mind, from heavy machinery and fleet storage to agricultural or municipal use. We work with clients across North America to develop solutions that are flexible, space-smart, and designed to last.

Fabric Buildings Are Designed for Space and Efficiency

Britespan’s clear-span design means no interior columns, giving you full access to the floor area. That makes a big difference when you’re moving bulky equipment or need flexible layouts for daily operations. You can easily accommodate storage racks, wide-turning vehicles, boom lifts, and more.

Our buildings range from 24 to over 200 feet in width and can extend to any length. You can also choose between a traditional dome profile or a peaked roof, depending on the layout and access you need.

And because they don’t require rigid foundations, these structures are adaptable to unique site conditions and space constraints, including temporary or mobile installations.

Long-Term Durability Without Excess Upkeep

Britespan fabric buildings are designed with longevity in mind. The structural frames are manufactured using hot-dip galvanized steel, offering resistance to corrosion, even in harsh climates. Covers are made from high-tensile fabric, tested to handle a variety of weather conditions across North America.

Our most durable fabric options include warranties of up to 25 years, and many clients report years of consistent use with minimal maintenance. That means fewer repairs and lower upkeep costs over time, but always check with your dealer about what’s best for your region and application.

Smarter Energy Use from Day One

Fabric structures naturally reduce the need for artificial lighting and complex HVAC systems. During the daytime, ambient light shines through the membrane, creating a bright and evenly lit space. This supports visibility and worker comfort while reducing electrical demand.

Ventilation can be designed into the building from the start, either as passive airflow or with add-on systems, helping regulate interior temperatures without the complexity or expense of conventional systems.

While actual savings vary by use case, many Britespan clients find that our fabric buildings contribute to lower utility use compared to older hard-sided buildings.

Adaptability Across Industries

Every operation has different space requirements. That’s why Britespan buildings are designed to scale and adapt based on what you store, how often you access it, and where it’s located.

Use them for:

• Fleet and equipment storage
• Agricultural machinery and tools
• Construction staging areas
• Municipal service yards
• Light industrial gear and trailers

Our structures support multiple foundation types, can be engineered to meet local building codes, and allow you to customize access points, doors, ventilation, lighting, and more.

A Collaborative Approach to Design

At Britespan, we work directly with each customer and their certified local dealer to develop a building that’s right for the site, equipment type, and operational goals. Every project begins with an assessment of what you need now, and what you may need five years from now.

Structures can be designed for temporary, permanent, or portable use and are scalable if your operations expand later. From structural engineering to delivery, all work is managed in-house for consistency and efficiency.
