How to Buy a Fabric Building

Step-by-Step

Navigating the Purchase Process

Buying an industrial fabric structure is a streamlined process compared to conventional construction, but it requires careful planning of specifications to ensure longevity and compliance with local codes.

Our team at Champion guides you through every decision—from selecting the right truss system to choosing the optimal membrane weight for your climate and application.

Buying Process

The 6-Step Buying Journey

Follow these steps to ensure a successful, high-performance building deployment.

1. Define Use & Span

Identify your clear span requirements and intended use (warehousing, mining, workshop) to determine frame geometry.

2. Choose Building Type

Select between TFB (Tension Fabric), Hoop Barns, Container Shelters, or Gable end designs based on site constraints.

3. Select Membrane

Choose the membrane grade (610-1450 gsm PVC / PVDF) that matches your local UV, wind, and snow load requirements.

4. Foundation Design

Confirm your mounting surface. We provide engineering for concrete slabs, piers, or shipping container ballast systems.

5. Quote & Engineering

Receive a detailed quote and stamped engineering drawings to facilitate local building permit applications.

6. Delivery & Install

Components are delivered to your site. Choose between Champion's full installation service or technical supervision.
