Fabric Buildings

Purpose-built fabric buildings for storage, processing andoperational space.

FABRIC BUILDINGS THAT KEEP OPERATIONS MOVING

Fabric buildings provide a practical way to expand operational space without the cost, disruption and lengthy programmes associated with conventional construction. Used across warehousing, manufacturing, agriculture, aviation, recycling and logistics, they create large clear-span environments that keep equipment, people and production protected from the elements all year round. Every building is engineered around its intended application, with custom spans, eave heights and layouts designed to maximise workflow and usable space. The hot-dip galvanised steel frame and tensioned membrane
system deliver a durable, low maintenance structure capable of long-term performance in demanding
environments. With no internal columns, the entire footprint remains usable for storage, machinery, production lines, vehicle movements or bulk materials. Buildings can be configured with insulated membrane systems, roller doors, ventilation, lighting, internal partitions and future expansion in mind,
ensuring they continue to support your operation as requirements evolve. From initial design through engineering, manufacture and installation, every project is developed around your site, operational needs and long-term objectives, delivering a building that performs reliably from day one and for
decades to come.

CONFIDENCE BY DESIGN

Choosing the right fabric building is about far more than comparing sizes and prices. It’s about working with a company that understands your application, asks the right questions
and delivers a solution that continues to perform long after installation.

At Sheltirx, every project begins by understanding how your building will be used, both today and in the years ahead. Our team takes the time to understand your site, operational
requirements and future plans, allowing us to recommend the most suitable solution rather than simply quoting what’s been requested.

With experience across all sectors including: industrial, commercial, agricultural, aviation and logistics sectors, we’ve helped businesses of every size create practical covered space that works. From straightforward storage buildings to complex engineered projects, the same attention to detail, communication and technical support is applied from start to finish.

We believe confidence comes from transparency, honest advice and doing things properly. That’s why we’re always happy to explain the reasoning behind our recommendations, offer alternative solutions where appropriate and ensure every customer has the information needed to make the right decision.

From your first inquiry through to delivery, installation and ongoing support, our focus is simple: providing a fabric building you can rely on, backed by a team you can trust.

WE DO THINGS PROPERLY

Experience means understanding how a building performs long before it reaches production. We’ll often recommend
design refinements you may not have considered that improve structural efficiency, simplify installation, enhance long-term usability or, in many cases, reduce unnecessary costs. It’s this practical experience that allows us to identify opportunities early in the design process, optimising both performance and value before manufacturing begins. Our goal is always the same: to make sure you get the right building, not just the one you asked for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fabric buildings withstand harsh weather conditions?

Yes. Our fabric buildings are available as both standard and fully engineered structures. Where required, they can be engineered to meet site-specific wind, snow and building code requirements, making them suitable for demanding environments.

Do fabric buildings require planning permission?

This depends on your location, the size of the building and how it will be used. We recommend checking with your local authority before purchasing, and we’re happy to provide the drawings and engineering information required to support your application.

How long do fabric buildings last?

Fabric buildings are designed for long-term use. We offer membrane warranties of up to 25 years depending on the system selected, with the structural frame designed to provide decades of reliable service.

What foundations can fabric buildings be installed on?

Fabric buildings can be installed on concrete, asphalt, gravel, grass, compacted ground, screw piles, concrete blocks, timber posts and even shipping containers. The best foundation depends on your site conditions and intended application, and we’ll recommend the most suitable option for your project.

How long does it take to install a fabric building?

Most fabric buildings can be erected within one week, depending on the building size, site preparation and project complexity. Larger or more specialised structures may require additional time.

Can fabric buildings be customised?

Yes. Every building can be tailored to your requirements with options including insulation, doors, ventilation, lighting, end walls and internal layouts. We’ll configure the building around your operation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Can fabric buildings be relocated or expanded?

Yes. All of our fabric buildings can be dismantled, relocated or extended in length as your operational requirements change, providing a flexible solution that can adapt as your business grows.
