There are numerous applications where additional headspace takes priority over floor space.
Multi Shelter Solutions has a CATHEDRAL-shaped structure which is the result of simply taking a regular profile arch and reversing what is typically the top and bottom.
This is another example of how our innovation creates a “custom” structure at standard pricing.
This profile is our most snow-resistant model.
The 4 basic sizes combined with any length allow virtually any vehicle to be covered economically.
As in the above photograph, the cover is usually opaque, to allow light to come in but not sunlight which would allow fading and other harmful effects.
The base is typically a pressure-treated 6×6 or railroad tie pegged to the ground.
Rather than construct large, expensive access doors, many of our customers build a simple closed end with a small man door.
This is dismantled during the operating season and reconstructed for the wintertime.
TARP vs. PLASTIC
The big difference is that with TARP you get extremely high tear resistance with good annual cover cost, and with PLASTIC you get slightly less life span but even less annual cover cost.

Structure Components & Details
- Base Brackets with 2 lag bolts each to attach to beam, curb, wall, etc (anchoring devices not included)
- Welded continuous ridge with U channel stubs at the prescribed hoop spacing according to local wind & snow load requirements
- Spacers between the hoops (2 per side on the larger buildings, 1 per side on the smaller buildings)
- Diagonal wind braces in each corner
- Wirelock to fasten the cover is composed of an aluminum channel with stainless steel spring inserts. It is included for both sets of end hoops. Sidewall wirelock is an optional extra.
Anchoring Options
- Choice between Base Bracket (included in pricing seen in brochure) or Anchor Posts for anchoring
- Anchor posts are an optional extra. These hollow steel tubes are 1 ¼ “ x 36” or 1 ¾ x 40”. There is one anchor post per hoop, usually set into concrete
- Anchor posts are not advisable for very heavy or stony ground because of shifting
- Anchoring the foundation is critical to the long term life of the building
