Cost advantages

Fabric structures versus

traditional metal and
wood buildings

Natural
light

When compared to ClearSpan Fabric Structures, traditional wood and

metal buildings have failed to meet the challenges of modern living,
falling short both economically and environmentally.

Wood or metal =
high energy bills

No daytime
lighting costs
ClearSpan Fabric Structures

Traditional wood/metal buildings

No daytime lighting costs

High daytime lighting costs

Bright interior significantly reduces

energy costs

Very high energy costs due to need for

artificial lighting

Natural light and ventilation provide

a healthier environment free of
bacteria and mold

Damp, dark environment allows

bacteria and mold to thrive, creating a
health hazard for people and animals

Little or no property taxes

Permanent structures = high taxes

Low construction costs and quick assembly

High construction costs coupled with

lengthy building periods

Can be built directly on the ground

Require expensive concrete footings

and foundations

Low maintenance, no painting

Frequent maintenance required

Maintain shape and aesthetic appeal

Susceptible to rotting, rusting, swelling

and warping

Resell for close to 100% of purchase price

No resale value

Savings

Tax analysis

Because these structures can be considered temporary,

and due to the Internal Revenue Code Section 179 Benefit,
you will see an incredible tax savings with a ClearSpan
Fabric Structure as compared to traditional wood or steel buildings.

Our process

ClearSpan, the one-stop shop

Unlike other fabric structure companies, ClearSpan sells directly to our customers.
Youll find our process is well organized, efficient and customer focused, earning
us many happy, repeat customers over the years.
When working with ClearSpan, you will have
the chance to interact with one of our
Truss Arch specialists, a highly qualified
and experienced team member who will act
as your representative throughout the
entire purchasing process. They will help
you identify your needs and goals, and
then see to it that these are met according
to your respective customizations
and specifications.

ClearSpan structures are developed by

skilled engineers who transform your
specifications into a cohesive plan. Our
engineers use sophisticated design
software to create the perfect frame, which
is then adjusted to fit building code, wind
and snow load requirements. Once you have
worked through the design with us,
we are happy to provide engineered
stamped drawings for your records.

Can be retrofitted to
existing structures.

Our manufacturing team is responsible for

turning your Hercules Truss Arch Building
from a drawing to reality. They ensure that
all structures meet the highest level of
quality, following the engineers
calculations and design specifications.
The steel team custom cuts, bends and
welds steel tubing into the trusses that will
make up your frame, which is then outfitted
with a precision-cut fabric cover. The fabric
team carefully lines up the fabric by the
proper angle and heat-seals it for
durability. Once the manufacturing
process is complete, all components are
safely packaged and readied for shipping.

Dare to compare

Dare to Compare:

Ours versus Theirs

Many of our competitors try to draw you in with tempting terminology.

At ClearSpan, we don't need to distract our customers with fancy terms;
we know our product is better.
OUR USA-Made, Triple-Galvanized
Structural Steel Tubing
Zinc coating

Is uniform, making for stronger steel

that won't chip or flake

Smooth finish and curvature

Doesn't cause fabric stress, preventing

rips and tears

Consistent manufacturing process

Results in military-grade round tubing

Triple-galvanized, inside and out

Provides long-lasting rust and
corrosion protection

Durable in
corrosive
environments

Smooth finish
won't damage
covers

THEIR Hot-Dipped Steel

Drip drying creates inconsistent
zinc coating, resulting in weak spots
and flaking
Uneven surface is abrasive and will
damage covers, requiring costly repairs
Hot-dipping weakens the steel and
causes irregularities, which results in
tubing that is inferior
Hot-dipping process can result in poor
coating coverage, which can lead to
rust and corrosion

Inconsistent,
low-quality
finish

Abrasive
coating ruins
covers

We do not compromise quality by using cheaper, square tubing. Our skilled

employees take the extra time and care necessary to properly cut and angle our
round tubing.
OUR Round Steel Tubing

THEIR Square Tubing

Features superior strength and will not twist

or fail, even in areas with high winds.

Adds stress and wear to the fabric

cover. Square tubing causes friction
and reduces the cover's lifespan.

General
Construction

Low in cost per square foot

ClearSpan structures work for a variety of construction

applications, including lumber yards, tool and
equipment storage, show rooms, offices and wood shops. New
factors like the economy, energy trends and client preferences
have forced general construction to reevaluate the norms of the
industry, pushing companies to embrace the versatility and
modern design of ClearSpan structures. Our low cost per square foot,
multiple customization options and variety of accessories are just a few
of the reasons more construction companies are choosing ClearSpan.

We've got you covered

Welding trusses inside our manufacturing facility in Dyersville, IA

Since we are a manufacturing company ourselves, we know what is important

and necessary for a thriving manufacturing facility. We believe in the
quality of our fabric structures so much that we manufacture in our own
Hercules Truss Arch Buildings. Much of our success is contributed to utilizing our
fabric structures.

Add a mezzanine to increase usable

space within the same footprint.

Bright interiors make production safer

and more efficient.

Keep materials safe, dry and out of

the elements.

Multiple bays can accommodate our

shipping and receiving needs.

boat maintenance and storage

From large vessel storage to paint booths, there are several factors that must be
met when it comes to boat maintenance and storage facilities. ClearSpan covers
each requirement needed for safe and easy boat accommodations.
Extraordinary height and clearance

With no internal support columns to

interfere with vessels, machinery or
laborers, ClearSpan Fabric Structures
offer maximum usable space and ease
of movement.

Resistant to harsh marine elements

ClearSpan buildings are built with the

strongest USA-made, triple-galvanized
structural steel and 12.5 oz.
rip-stop polyethylene fabric and are
designed to withstand any local wind or
snow-load requirements.
ClearSpans steel has gone through
a state-of-theart process that provides
long-lasting corrosion and
rust protection.

Low energy costs

Abundant sunlight filters through

ClearSpans fabric covers eliminating the
need for daytime artificial lighting.
Their natural ventilation system provides
a dehumidified environment, stopping
moisture, mold and bacteria buildup.
ClearSpan structures maintain interior
temperatures of 15 to 20 cooler in
summer and 15 to 20 warmer in winter.

Easy to relocate or expand

If relocating to a different marina is

needed, ClearSpan Fabric Structures
can be disassembled, moved and
reassembled quickly and with ease.
When the time comes to buy a bigger
boat, or your needs change, ClearSpan
buildings are expandable with little
additional cost.
