What is a fabric building?

A fabric building is a clear-span steel frame covered with a high-performance polyethylene membrane. MegaDome structures deliver large interior volume, fast installation, and durable performance for agriculture, industrial storage, and municipal use.

How long do MegaDome fabric buildings last?

The galvanized steel frame is designed for decades of service. The membrane lifespan typically ranges from 15–25+ years depending on climate, UV exposure, and maintenance. Replacement membranes are available when needed.

Are MegaDome fabric buildings code-compliant in Canada and the U.S.?

Yes. MegaDome provides engineered drawings and can design to local wind, snow, and seismic requirements for Canada and the United States. Final compliance depends on site conditions and local permitting.

What sizes and profiles are available?

MegaDome fabric buildings offers multiple clear-span profiles and widths to fit your site, (33 to 160 feet) from mid-size to large-scale industrial footprints. Length is modular in set increments. Ask our team for the optimal span and arch profile for your application.

What foundations do MegaDome fabric buildings require?

Foundations vary by site and model. Common options include concrete piers (sonotubes), grade beams, or precast blocks. MegaDome will recommend a foundation solution based on soil report, loads, and local codes.

How much does a fabric building cost per square foot?

Cost depends on size, loads, doors, accessories, and foundation. For budgeting, request a project-specific quote to compare options and total installed cost but usually it ranges between 15$ to 35$/sqft

What is the typical construction timeline?

Lead time and on-site assembly vary by model, season, and permitting. After approvals and production, many projects erect quickly compared to conventional buildings. Ask us for current timelines for your region.

Can a MegaDome be relocated or expanded?

Yes. The modular design allows for future length additions and, depending on the foundation and model, relocation to a new site.

What maintenance is required?

Periodic inspections, tension checks, and routine cleaning help maximize membrane life. Address snow removal and drainage per the maintenance guide for your model and region.

What are the best uses for fabric buildings?

Fabric buildings are widely used for: Agricultural storage (hay, grain, livestock) Industrial warehousing and equipment storage Municipal salt/sand storage Composting and waste management facilities Equestrian riding arenas Sports and recreation centers
