Top 6 Reasons Fabric Buildings are Ideal Vehicle Storage Buildings

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

When most people think of vehicle storage buildings often the image that comes to mind is a dark garage, cramped and dingy.  Wouldn’t you rather have a bright, wide-open space? When you are looking for your next vehicle storage building, your wish list is not as difficult to achieve as you might think.

tremendous amount of daytime lighting to enter the building interior and seems to fill up every corner with soft pleasant light.  So much light that there is no need for turning on the artificial lights, even on a cloudy day.  When darkness falls, the bright white underside of the covers helps to spread the light further, reducing both the number and size of light fixtures needed to light your building.  The covers include UV ray blocking properties to reduce the exposure to sunlight fading for your vehicles.

FastCover Fabric Structures for Commercial Fishing

FastCover has experience in providing fabric structures for the Commercial Fishing Industry across Atlantic Canada. Our fabric structures, prior to assembly are compact making them ideal candidates to be flown or ferried or trucked into any location. FastCover portable fabric buildings can then be erected on any relatively level site without the need for expensive foundations. These fabric structures can be secured to the ground in a variety of methods from screw anchors to rock brackets to concrete blocks. Whichever method best suits the location, the ground disturbance is minimal or non-existent. In the event the FastCover fabric building is no longer required at a specific location or site, they can be easily disassembled and re-erected elsewhere, making it the perfect portable storage solution for permanent or temporary Commercial Fishing or Workboat storage solutions.

Why a FastCover Portable Fabric Structure?

FastCover buildings provide protection against the elements for your boat, equipment, traps & pots and other important assets. Fastcovers provide an excellent environment to perform repairs and maintenance on your boat and equipment. Commercial boats and equipment are a vital asset to the current and future value of the business and need to be properly protected against the elements to minimize deterioration. FastCover fabric structures for Commercial Fishing Operations keep boats, trailers, marine equipment and other assets out of the elements, allowing for faster and easier startups. No more shoveling snow, unthawing, or digging out equipment anymore! FastCover fabric buildings are the ultimate shed storage solution to protect hoses, tires and paint on Commercial Fishing equipment from fading, cracking, and failing. This allows for longer life, less maintenance and better resale value of the equipment.

  • FastCover fabric buildings come with a full 15-year warranty for peace of mind.
  • Most FastCovers are completely portable, allowing you to erect them without the need for costly foundations.
  • FastCover fabric structures for commercial fishing operations can be easily relocated to another location on your property to adapt to the growth and expansion of your business.
  • FastCovers have great resale value, which is a huge cost benefit compared to a permanent building.

Solar Powered Building – Solar Solution for Your New FastCover

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

Solar Powered Building

We have developed the perfect solar power solution for your new FastCover portable fabric structure. A small 14×28 foldable solar panel is mounted onto a unique bracket that does not alter or affect your main fabric cover whatsoever. The bracket gets mounted onto the upper truss with self tapping screws and drops down below the storm flap and back up with a mounting bracket for the solar panel. Angle brackets allow you to adjust the angle on the solar panel depending on the light availability in your particular area. The solar power can be harnessed to generate lighting or light duty power use. This particular application plugs into a round fan that is mounted to the upper side end wall of the FastCover, allowing us to extract air out of the building in order to keep the humidity level lower in your brand new FastCover building. To encourage air movement we installed vents on the opposing end wall to draw in fresh air as the fan extracts humid air. Check out our YouTube video to learn more about getting a solar powered building.

Protect your Boat with a FastCover

More and more recreational boaters and commercial fishermen are protecting their assets with a new FastCover fabric building. With the initial investment of boats and related equipment these days it makes complete sense to protect your investment from the harsh climate when they are not in use. A FastCover fabric building is the perfect cold storage facility for your boat storage and assets, plus it gives you the perfect environment to clean, repair, replace and do maintenance on your boat. Many of our commercial fishermen store their boat off-season along with all their traps. They love the fact that everything is out of the elements making off-season work a pleasure. Protecting boats from the elements increases the longevity of their asset which ultimately gives them more productive time on the water and greater re-sales value when it’s time to upgrade. At FastCover we are protecting your boat, one at a time!

Storage for your Tools, Gardening or Recreational Equipment

FastCovers Buildings are a great solution for storing your Gardening or Recreational Equipment. Keeping your assets out of the elements is a great way to keep them in pristine condition. Leaving valuable items such as tools, garden or recreational equipment outside makes them prone to rust, cracked hoses, warped plastic components and peeling paint. They deteriorate faster, don’t work properly and lose resale value when its time to upgrade, if left out to the elements. Call us or see us at the show to see what FastCover solution best fits your storage needs.

FastCover’s Value for Your Business

FastCover provides WRLA members a unique opportunity. Our affordable fabric structures can not only be sold by members to generate profitable sales and increase members volume, but can also be used for storage of member owned equipment and other products for re-sale. Keeping valuable inventory and equipment stored properly out of the harsh elements ensures that no losses, devaluation or further depreciation occurs. Many building products retailers take full advantage of using FastCover quality fabric structures for storage with the added bonus of having a fully erected FastCover as a sales tool, on site, for display purposes.  Our customers, along with us, know that this type of storage is a tremendous sales tool that sells FastCovers.

FastCover portable fabric buildings provide excellent value for temporary storage. Our portable structures are fully movable in the event your business is constantly growing and expanding. Permanent structures can limit your ability to “change on the fly” as so many business owner/operators must do in today’s volatile economy. What works today may not work tomorrow! You may need to move, shift and re-think your storage needs depending on what the market and your customer dictates, and your new FastCover has the ability to accommodate the changing face of business.

Solar Powered, Insulated, Heated Fabric Structure

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

The Client, a prominent Manitoba company in the commercial construction industry required heated storage for their heavy equipment and supplies. Our dealer, a professional reseller and erector of FastCover Structures worked with the Client, to determine size, foundation and insulation requirements to meet their needs.

In this particular instance the FastCover building was designed with trusses in closer proximity to each other to ensure it was structurally sound to not only withstand the Province’s extreme weather but also to ensure rigidity for the installation of insulation materials. The structure has been securely adhered to the concrete block base which provides a sturdy level base, additional height and protection from unwanted contact with the fabric cover.

Although FastCover fabric structures allow for reasonable light to pass through because this unit is insulated that opportunity no longer existed. This FastCover structure incorporates our solar energy which provides ample lighting 24 hours per day. Propane heat was selected to maintain a very comfortable environment in this Province?s harsh environment.

FastCover fabric buildings are the ideal solution for customers in a wide variety of industries, allowing efficient and cost conscious installation with the option of being moved and/or quickly taken down on a temporary site compared to traditional buildings.

Another successful FastCover project. For more information on how FastCover can assist with your project please contact us online or call 1-866-657-7172.
