As the colder weather of the winter season rolls in, we have seen in increased demand for outdoor covered event centers. One recent project of ours was to create an outdoor hockey rink shelter.

When your business, farm or enterprise is growing at a rapid rate, it is generally a result of you, as an entrepreneur, pouring all your energy into that growth. Attempting to determine what the next step is to house all that growth can be a daunting task. Do I add onto my building, do I move to larger facilities, how do I become more efficient, are all questions swirling through your mind. As your business grows, plans change, and you need to be able to shift your thought process just as fast. The beauty of a FastCover portable structure is that it allows you to accommodate the need today and be re-located, added onto, or re-configured to accommodate tomorrow’s needs. At FastCover we grow with your business!
As a family owned privately held business, FastCover understands that cash flow and your passion drives growth and that there is not always an abundance of free cash to renovate, upgrade or purchase / rent new facilities. Leasing a New FastCover can assist you by providing excellent space for light manufacturing and assembly, or storage of raw material, parts, equipment and finished goods. Leasing allows you to budget for a reasonable fixed “no surprises” payment schedule where all payments can be fully expensed by your business, farm or enterprise.

FastCover introduces 2 completely new structures to meet customer demand. The FastCover SLSS series is available in 50′ and 60′ widths, and, of course, unlimited lengths. Both SLSS series FastCovers are available in “Portable” models.The FastCover Straight Leg Super Structure (SLSS) has been designed to maximize the interior volume with a massive 10′ high exterior straight wall truss leg. This feature virtually eliminates wasted interior space by allowing customers to get closer than ever to the interior wall with equipment placement, vehicle storage, or warehouse racking. The SLSS series is designed for maximum width and height openings on end walls to accommodate more equipment, product or livestock. At 10′ high, the truss leg on the SLSS series easily accommodates side entrances making access to this FastCover significantly easier.
Len Peters, FastCover Auto Cad Draftsperson states, “The portability of the SLSS Series make them one of the most versatile and sought after structures that can be erected almost anywhere, without the need for a costly foundation, due to its ability to be erected on any relatively level surface area when incorporated with our anchoring system.” The beauty of portability allows customers to re-locate FastCover buildings to a location that best suits them. An initial location may no longer be suitable for commercial, mining, farm or ranch enterprises and a re-locatable building allows for FastCover buildings to grow along with the business. Portability also means that when customers no longer have need for their FastCover, re-sale value becomes very important. Great re-sale value comes with a FastCover that has the ability to provide decades of service,
Like all FastCover buildings, the SLSS series is available in a variety of truss spacing to meet the demands of North American snow, rain and wind loads. Powdercoat paint is standard on all FastCovers. Powdercoating is a great rust inhibitor and ensures years of service. All FastCover buildings, big or small, incorporate High Density Polyurethane fabric membrane with UV inhibitors, in 12 oz. weight and 23 mils thickness to provide protection for equipment, product and livestock against the elements.

The image above is from an imported fabric building located in Alberta, Canada which was damaged by wind. This is what can happen to a building that is not built from quality components engineered for the North American climate.
This headline may have originated back hundreds of years, but it was coined by an evil henchman who worked for an evil newspaper villain who was plotting to overthrow the free world who was ultimately foiled by you know who… Bond, James Bond.
In the Fabric Building industry there is a huge discrepancy in the quality of products being offered in the North American market. More recently, if you have been in the market for a fabric building, you will have noticed a number of distributors claiming to sell quality “Canadian” fabric buildings. They claim to be designed specifically for North American climates, albeit imported from abroad. These structures are readily available online through kijiji, distributors and auction houses. The challenge we all face as consumers is how to make a good buying decision when we are purchasing something we have never purchased previously. If I know nothing about the automobile industry, why not buy a Ford Pinto vs. a Mercedes Benz 500. It’s less than 1/2 the price and they both get me from Point A to point B. Not that simple! If it’s too good to be true… it generally is too good to be true!
There are significant differences in a quality fabric building vs. many of the import products available today. As Benjamin Franklin said, ” The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” At FastCover we pride ourselves in using quality materials that result in decades of great service from our structures. Using a minimum of 11 – 12 gauge black steel tubing ensures that our Structures are truly strong enough to give you decades of worry free & maintenance free service. We have seen too many poor quality fabric structures collapse after the first heavy snowfall in places like Prince George British Columbia, Sydney Montana or Snow Lake, Manitoba. Powder coating all steel components on every FastCover ensures greater longevity of fabric. Applying and baking several millimeters of paint onto all our steel ensures smoothness where fabric and steel meet. High density polyethylene fabric is an integral part of FastCover engineered structures. When properly adhered to one of our quality steel frames, the entire fabric & steel envelope create its ability to withstand North American snow, wind and rain loads as per National and International Building Code. Fabric on many import buildings cannot be tightened “like a drum” because it is not strong enough and can expand and contract in various weather conditions. This fabric is not an integral part of the structure and provides no additional strength.
Stay in touch with our blog section as we will be writing a series of posts on the various components that make a FastCover an excellent choice for your equipment storage, cattle handling, dairy farm, light industrial, machine or maintenance shop. We will look at fabric, hardware, steel, foundation & anchors and warranties.
You would not buy a new car, truck or combine without a warranty, so make sure you have one on your new fabric building. FastCover’s 15 year warranty has you Covered!
