Get a firm idea of what your needs are for: Size Fabric Coating Lighting Temperature control

2. What are You Willing to Spend?

Every project and business expense needs to have a set budget and this type of cost is no different. Set a budget that is adequate for what you actually need and want in your enclosure.

Avoid cutting costs that affect final quality.

3. Environmental Concerns Like Snow, Dust, and Wind Protection

If your structure will be in an environment that has a lot of wind, dust, snow, ice, or other environmental hazards and factors then additional environmental safety features may be needed in order to offset these environmental factors.

4. Is Climate Control Crucial?

Exhaust fans, louvers, and HVAC are available options.

5. How Will You Use the Enclosure?

Storing vehicles and planes will have different requirements than storing grain and other agricultural or food products. Maintenance or flammable material storage enclosures may need added fireproofing or other coating types for safety reasons.

6. What Fabric Type Will Work Best?

There are standard fabric weights and thicknesses available, and custom options may also be possible. Think about the environmental exposure and expected life span of the enclosure and then determine the right fabric choices.

7. What Framing Materials Should be Used?

Usually lightweight metal poles or posts, made from aluminum or steel, can provide strength and rigidity without adding too much weight to the frame. Discuss the materials available from the company you are using.

8. Where will it be Located?

If it will be located in the brutal sun and heat of the Sahara Desert or in the frigid climate of Antarctica then these factors need to be accounted for. In reality your location may not be as extreme but it is still an important factor to consider.

9. What are your Building Regulations and Permit Requirements?

Knowing if building permits are required can prevent a number of issues and additional charges later on. You may not need any permit or inspection but it is better to be aware of an requirements before you invest time and money in an enclosure.

10. Natural Translucent Lighting or Artificial Lighting

There are translucent fabrics that let natural sunlight in, or you can choose to have artificial lighting installed. It is also possible to use both methods in order to conserve energy while eliminating any lighting restrictions so the enclosure can be used at any time day or night.
