Rushmore’s 36′ canvas building kit is our “go to” in fabric quonset buildings. It is an economical building per square foot, built tough for a single pipe rafter shelter and is suitable for so many purposes. Whether your need is hoop barns for cattle or you’re looking to use a fabric building for a temporary building in construction, this is an economical solution, even for storage buildings.
This is a very heavy duty galvanized 12 gauge steel framed fabric building. However, this is our one Rushmore building that we do not recommend for extremely high snow load areas. We do carry Rushmore’s 36 foot wide truss buildings for those rare locations.
If you open the drop downs in the next section, you will find much more information about this fabric shed. We proudly list all of our building specifications so you can know if you are comparing different brand tarp sheds that you are comparing apples to apples.
You can find other single tube hoop shelters here.
The term “monotube” means that the rafters are a single, round, heavy gauge pipe. This 36′ wide hoop shed has rafters that are spaced 5′ apart and connected with 4 rows of purlins. The minimum length we are offering is 25′ but the maximum length is any increment of 5′ you might want.
This model is also a “ponywall” building. It is designed to be erected on wood or steel posts, block, or a concrete wall. A 4′ high ponywall is the industry standard. If you put your building on a 4′ wall, the overall peak height would then be 18’10”. Wall height and material is flexible but please let us know your building plans so that we can supply you with the correct mounting brackets. Your will need at least a 24″ tall foundation to properly tension the cover.
These utility hoop buildings are easy to erect. They have smooth, slip-fit joints that require no tools and make assembly easy and quick. Complete instruction manual and hardware are included with your hoop building kit and we are always here to answer any questions you may have.
There are many options available for both the main arched building cover and the hoop building end. These include many color options, including custom cover logos, as well as venting and door choices.
