The benefits of a fabric structure's portability.
The main benefit of portability is moving your structure from site to site quickly and efficiently. Rapid setup gets your business running back on schedule faster. Sticking to strict timelines is easier when you know assembly is relatively quick and painless. Fabric covered buildings are ideal portable solutions to move supplies from job site to job site. Portable buildings are the easiest way to cover and protect project supplies and vehicles or provide lunchrooms for onsite workers. Additionally, moving supplies to each location reduces travel time and increases profits.
Portable buildings and temporary shelters remain operational for as long as necessary or until the project is completed. A sturdy galvanized steel frame makes them ideal for temporary to semi-permanent use. Accordingly, once the warehousing is no longer needed, it may be disassembled and stored away for future use. This trait allows your covered building to be shipped to another location, stored for emergency use, or altogether repurposed. Our clear span fabric building offers complete versatility for numerous industries nationwide.

Strength and durability built in Zachary, LA.
We are proud to construct our covered building structures here in Zachary, LA. One of Southern Comfort Shelters' significant advantages over our competition is our onsite manufacturing facility in Zachary. The manufacturing facility builds structures for strength and durability. The onsite location affords us leverage to accommodate custom orders better and faster than the competition. Additionally, having our manufacturing facility onsite controls how we build structures to last.
We engineer each steel architecture and arc design to withstand extreme circumstances.
The tear-resistant fabric holds strong in harsh weather conditions. Our galvanized steel singular tube frame or welded truss withstands 70 to 90 mph winds. These industrial-strength materials stand up to the elements as impressively as a permanent traditional building would. The waterproof vinyl resists cracking up to -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, the arc construction ensures that rain, debris, and snow are shed naturally from the structure to maintain its integrity.
Southern Comfort Shelters also use a specially treated vinyl fabric. The anti-mildew treatment prevents the material from growing mold and mildew in moist environments. At the same time, UV protection safeguards employees and stored goods from harmful UV rays. Lastly, fire retardant fabric meets NFPA-701 standards. Buy the best for durability and longevity.
The value of cost savings for a building owner.
Fabric structures are a low-cost alternative and much easier on a tight budget. Standard permanent structures traditionally cost more to assemble. Further, the company saves high costs on lost time during a build and construction. Reducing the building time saves on offsite storage, multiple leases, and lost person-hours during construction.
There may also be an additional saving on a building permit due to temporary structure protocols often not requiring permits.
Also, you can choose to rent or purchase any Southern Comfort Shelter building. Rent or buy options adapt to your budget to save you money. The open structure and the light-colored covers save on energy costs. During daylight hours, these structures do not require artificial lighting. Reducing energy usage, in turn, reduces the electric bills. Onsite lunchrooms and warehouses save on employee travel time and keep the workflow running smoothly and efficiently, which means additional savings for increased productivity.
