FastCover used to Protect Overpass Concrete pours on Provincial Hwy Project

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

FastCover Fabric Structures was awarded the contract for the protection of concrete from the elements during pouring of overpasses for the Province of Manitoba. This project, using Portable Fabric Buildings, is slated for completion October of 2018. The picture shown is the FastCover 65′ wide by 100′ long.

Working with the general contractor Flatiron and the engineering group, FastCover has been able to design and develop structures that are capable of being used for the multitude of widths required for this project. Each FastCover can be reconfigured to change width dependent on the overpass being poured. This concept not only resulted in significant savings for this portion of the project but also increased efficiency in assembly and erection. Increasing or decreasing the widths of these FastCovers only requires the addition or deletion of a small number of steel components and no change to the fabric. These FastCovers range in size from 55′ wide to 100′ wide with a typical length of 100′ long. There is no doubt that these temporary structures are of significant size and require the need for appropriate equipment and trained personnel.

These FastCovers will be erected and disassembled multiple of times over the course of the project and have been designed to do so with ease. FastCover, working closely with the project engineers, has also ensured that all National Building Code requirements have been met to safely work in the structure and handle the site location’s climate loads in and around one of the heaviest concentration of vehicle traffic in Manitoba.

This is just one of many projects FastCover is currently involved in. FastCover is a proud family owned manufacturer and installer of fabric buildings serving the agriculture, industrial, commercial, oil & gas, and mining industries factory direct!  it is a great example of how Portable Fabric Buildings can add value to a commercial construction project.

Low Quality Import building damaged by Wind

If it’s too good to be true… it’s usually too good to be true

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

The image above is from an imported fabric building located in Alberta, Canada which was damaged by wind.  This is what can happen to a building that is not built from quality components engineered for the North American climate.

Fabric Building Quality is not Too Good to Be True

This headline may have originated back hundreds of years, but it was coined by an evil henchman who worked for an evil newspaper villain who was plotting to overthrow the free world who was ultimately foiled by you know who… Bond, James Bond.

In the Fabric Building industry there is a huge discrepancy in the quality of products being offered in the North American market. More recently, if you have been in the market for a fabric building, you will have noticed a number of distributors claiming to sell quality “Canadian” fabric buildings.  They claim to be designed specifically for North American climates, albeit imported from abroad. These structures are readily available online through kijiji, distributors and auction houses. The challenge we all face as consumers is how to make a good buying decision when we are purchasing something we have never purchased previously. If I know nothing about the automobile industry, why not buy a Ford Pinto vs. a Mercedes Benz 500. It’s less than 1/2 the price and they both get me from Point A to point B. Not that simple! If it’s too good to be true… it generally is too good to be true!

Quality Building Components

There are significant differences in a quality fabric building vs. many of the import products available today. As Benjamin Franklin said, ” The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” At FastCover we pride ourselves in using quality materials that result in decades of great service from our structures. Using a minimum of 11 – 12 gauge black steel tubing ensures that our Structures are truly strong enough to give you decades of worry free & maintenance free service. We have seen too many poor quality fabric structures collapse after the first heavy snowfall in places like Prince George British Columbia, Sydney Montana or Snow Lake, Manitoba. Powder coating all steel components on every FastCover ensures greater longevity of fabric. Applying and baking several millimeters of paint onto all our steel ensures smoothness where fabric and steel meet.  High density polyethylene fabric is an integral part of FastCover engineered structures.  When properly adhered to one of our quality steel frames, the entire fabric & steel envelope create its ability to withstand North American snow, wind and rain loads as per National and International Building Code. Fabric on many import buildings cannot be tightened “like a drum” because it is not strong enough and can expand and contract in various weather conditions. This fabric is not an integral part of the structure and provides no additional strength.

Stay in touch with our blog section as we will be writing a series of posts on the various components that make a FastCover an excellent choice for your equipment storage, cattle handling, dairy farm, light industrial, machine or maintenance shop. We will look at fabric, hardware, steel, foundation & anchors and warranties.

Quick Tip

You would not buy a new car, truck or combine without a warranty, so make sure you have one on your new fabric building. FastCover’s 15 year warranty has you Covered!

Solar Powered Building – Solar Solution for Your New FastCover

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

Solar Powered Building

We have developed the perfect solar power solution for your new FastCover portable fabric structure. A small 14×28 foldable solar panel is mounted onto a unique bracket that does not alter or affect your main fabric cover whatsoever. The bracket gets mounted onto the upper truss with self tapping screws and drops down below the storm flap and back up with a mounting bracket for the solar panel. Angle brackets allow you to adjust the angle on the solar panel depending on the light availability in your particular area. The solar power can be harnessed to generate lighting or light duty power use. This particular application plugs into a round fan that is mounted to the upper side end wall of the FastCover, allowing us to extract air out of the building in order to keep the humidity level lower in your brand new FastCover building. To encourage air movement we installed vents on the opposing end wall to draw in fresh air as the fan extracts humid air. Check out our YouTube video to learn more about getting a solar powered building.

Hi Profile Fabric Building

See Us at Ag in Motion, July 18-20, 2017

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

FastCover Fabric Structures has been exhibiting at the Ag in Motion, Western Canada’s only outdoor farm show since it’s inception 3 years ago. We are excited to be back at this great outdoor event featuring a new interactive way to get up close and personal with today’s agricultural technology. It’s one thing to buy new products for your farm after reading about them, it’s another to see them working side-by-side in the field. Outdoor Exhibits, Field Equipment Demos, and Crop Plots are all there for progressive farmers to see and feel agricultural technology in one place. Just 15 minutes northwest of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada on Hwy 16, you will be amazed with the over 300 exhibits, demos and crop plots.

FastCover is an integral part of the success and longevity of your new or existing farm technology. We know you work hard to make your farm or ranch successful and re-investing in technology requires you to also protect that technology. That’s where FastCover comes in. Ag technology does not come cheap and maintaining it requires protection from the elements. Sun, snow, rain, hail, etc. can wreak havoc on your equipment. Tires crack, hoses fail, paint deteriorates and parts get damaged due to exposure from the elements all year round. Our fabric buildings are designed to protect your equipment from the elements so that they can retain their value and give you a better ROI.

The portability of many of our fabric buildings allow you to place your new FastCover in the location needed today, with the peace of mind that when you need to re-locate your structure, you can easily do so. At FastCover we pride ourselves in supplying and installing good quality fabric structures that give our customers years of satisfaction.

At FastCover, you can be assured of a quality long lasting product.  We have decades of history and experience in designing and building  Fabric covered buildings structures for a variety of industries including Farm, Ranch & Equine, Heavy Equipment, Construction, Oil & Gas. We trust you will have the opportunity to stop by our booth at Ag in Motion north of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and chat with us. Ask us about our show specials and how easy it is for you to get your New FastCover.

Posted by Fast Cover Buildings on

Some companies only hear what their Customer’s tell them they want and it ends there! At FastCover we hear, then listen closely and actually develop a Compact Portable Fabric Structure that meets their need. We have been selling huge quantities of our standard Hi-Profile 24×32 portable buildings for decades. It was originally designed to accommodate semi-trailers, grain trucks, RVs and campers with it’s 14′ high and 12′ wide roll-up door. Many of our customers today have an abundance of recreational and hobby farm equipment that not only need to work or play on demand, but also needs to look its best when summoned for action. Our customers need the space of the 24×32 but not necessarily such a high door.

Voila, the 24×32 Compact is the perfect solution. It provides over 760 square feet of storage space with a usable 11′ high by 12′ wide roll-up door. It can easily accommodate a steel overhead or steel roll-up door if you so choose and you can add a walk in the door for convenience. It’s lower profile nestles nicely into your property while maximizing your storage square footage needs. Your boat’s wakeboard tower, the ROPS on your garden tractor, the cab on your ORV and whatever else you cherish are now all tucked away nicely waiting for their next adventure.
