All of our Hoop Barns Are Clear Span Buildings

We talk a lot about clear span buildings here, but maybe we haven’t explained what we mean by that.

A clear span building has no supports in the middle from one end to the other. With no interior columns or load-bearing walls, you get fully usable, flexible floor space. This makes it easy to place large equipment, machinery, or inventory wherever you need.

Wooden trusses have a limited span without support posts. Steel can typically span much farther at a lower cost.  Add a fabric skin, and you have an economical clear span fabric structure.

Our Rushmore hoop buildings reach from 24′ to 140′ in clear span width.

Advantages of Rushmore Clear Span Structures:

• • Cost-Effectiveness: Hoop structures are more economical due to fewer materials needed during construction and simplified, faster assembly.

• • Green Buildings: For the same reasons that fabric buildings are cheaper, they are also more eco-friendly.

• • Durability and Strength: Constructed from high-quality galvanized steel in South Dakota and engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, our buildings offer a long lifespan.

• • Fast Construction Timelines: Pre-engineered components are manufactured off-site and designed for quick assembly, reducing project hours and labor costs.

• • Versatility and Customization: Rushmore buildings can be customized for specific needs, from agricultural equipment and arenas to industrial uses such as warehouses, salt and sand commodities, or manufacturing facilities. Our clear span buildings can be easily modified to meet future requirements or even disassembled for relocation.

• • Reduced Maintenance: Rushmore buildings require minimal maintenance. A quick check of the tensioning ratchets a couple of times per year will typically take care of it.

• • Energy Efficiency: We offer light-transmitting fabrics for superior natural light, reducing energy costs. The curved shape of a hoop building further aids ventilation and may reduce those costs.

Not everyone needs a big and open space, but if you do, a hoop barn may be the perfect clear-span building for you.
