Fabric Building Roof Options
Ordinarily, you might not put too much thought into your roof, but with fabric structures, you have more options than with a traditional building.
Legacy roofs are, first and foremost, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. But we thought "why stop there?" Your roof options allow us to further customize your building to make it more functional and more beautiful.

Custom Roof Options
You can choose natural light. Our white fabric, used on a lot of our roof panels, is 12% translucent. That turns your whole roof into a skylight and illuminates the interior of your building with a beautiful, but not glaring, light.
You can also include insulation for your roof, sandwiched between the exterior cladding and an interior liner. That eliminates the natural light but it also makes your structure a year-round facility regardless of the weather. If you think a fabric roof can't support solar panels or skylights, think again.
Graphics and colors can also be a part of your roof design. We can incorporate your corporate logo or your team's mascot to further your brand or express your support.
Fabric Roof Installation
Strength is perhaps the most important feature of a roof. All roof panels are kedered, individual panels – fed into aluminum keder tracks on every frame – that offer the best attachment and longest fabric life. Typical bay spacing is 20 feet, in contrast to mono-covers or large fabric panels that only attach to the end frames. In locations where roof fabric would come in contact with a support steel beam, an added protective layer of fabric is welded onto the panels.
Legacy roofs are built to last through any conditions. To ensure proper fit and a weathertight roof, each fabric building roof panel is horizontally tensioned by pre-tension and vertically tensioned by our Inclusive Tensioning System.

Agriland FS Woodbine Fertilizer Storage
19,404 sq ft Fertilizer Storage Building | Woodbine, IA
Agriland FS, Inc. is a farmer-owned cooperative that provides agricultural products directly to farmers. After several years working from a leased building, Agriland FS determined the need to add a permanent fertilizer storage building at their Woodbine, Iowa, location. The new building would be used for storing, mixing and distributing fertilizer. “We needed a building we could adapt,” said Curtis Hoakison, procurement manager. “Having everything contained in one facility was easier than trying to add another part to an existing building.”

Silver Drache Farms Dressage Arena
22,000 sq ft Professional Riding Arena | Palm City, FL
Silver Drache Farm is a private equestrian facility used to train and board dressage horses in Palm City, Florida. The highly trained horses require daily exercise – which is not always possible with an outdoor arena. “The type of training that we do would require us to be in the sun for an extended period of time,” said Andrea Eppley, owner of Silver Drache Farm LLC. “In south Florida that’s just not practical.”
