Fabric Fabrication

At the core of all our structures are the fabrics that we utilize for optimal hail and weather protection. HDPE, a high density polyethylene mesh, can block out up to 96% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Other fabrics such as PVC and PTFE can be utilized depending on the specific project requirements as well as our clients’ individual needs and desires.
