Fabric Building Maintenance
MegaDome buildings are designed to provide durability and performance with minimal maintenance. However, to ensure optimal longevity and maintain the performance of your structure, regular maintenance is essential. A thorough inspection of the building should be performed twice a year. Conduct these inspections on a mild day (50 to 70°F/10 to 20°C) to allow for retightening the membrane if needed.
* For more information, please refer to your owner’s manual.
