What Are Hoop Buildings?
Hoop buildings or, as we call them, hoop barns, are technically labeled Fabric Tension Buildings or Tensile Structures. These buildings are also sometimes called Membrane Structure Buildings or fabric/membrane arch buildings.
Our hoop barns consist of a heavy-duty steel frame with a sturdy HDPE fabric canvas stretched tightly over them. Our hoop buildings have been painstakingly engineered to meet or exceed specific snow and wind loads.
Fabric buildings have some clear advantages over conventional structures. A hoop barn can be built much quicker and at less cost than a conventional barn and that is a great part of what makes a hoop barn a more ecological choice.
For some, fabric buildings may also have taxation and depreciation advantages. Consult a tax expert if you think this may apply to you.
