FAQ
SkyShield™ = container-mounted container canopies / container shelters for fast weather protection and loading cover. Stormax™ = industrial storage tents and fabric warehouses for bulk storage and yard operations. Formex™ = bespoke engineered fabric structures built to your exact requirements.
Where specific ratings need to be achieved we design to project location conditions. We work with you by researching your city/ZIP and target rating to map out the right calculations from the start. All of our fabric structures can be stamped by state engineers if you need certification for your project.
Stocked SkyShield™ container canopies and popular Stormax™ storage tents can be delivered within 10 working days. Formex™ bespoke fabric buildings typically take 6–10 weeks depending on design and fabrication.
Installation varies. Container shelters and storage warehouses usually install within days. Medium-sized fabric structures are typically completed within 1–2 weeks.
SkyShield™ container dome shelters typically uses two ISO shipping containers as supports (ballasted/anchored per site). Stormax™ commercial storage tents can fix to concrete, ground anchors or blocks.
Many US jurisdictions treat these as temporary structures but may still require a permit, engineering letter and site plan. We’ll support with drawings, load data and documentation; your GC or AHJ confirms local requirements.
