Features & Benefits
Spacious Interior
Due to the unique engineering of ClearSpan fabric structures, all of the inside space is useable. There are no interior columns or supports to interfere with your activities. Offering superior height and clearance when compared to traditional metal or wood buildings, these structures are suitable for sports that require a large field of play, such as indoor soccer, basketball and football. |
Exceptional Acoustics
ClearSpan buildings reduce outside noise and diminish indoor echoing. Sound-absorbing covers and walls provide a peaceful environment with no harsh sounds or weather against a roof, providing less distractions for athletes. This relaxing atmosphere is enjoyable for a variety of activities, including more tranquil sports like golf, skating and swimming. |
Sustainable Building Features
ClearSpan's white fabric covers reduce the need for artificial lighting, lowering your energy consumption. With abundant daytime lighting that is bright and natural, these structures are ideal for sporting activities like swimming, indoor tennis and more. The cover's translucent and reflective qualities also allow for further energy savings by providing indoor temperature stability. |
Highly Versatile
ClearSpan buildings are available in Round and Gable styles, with building sizes available from 20' to 300' wide, and in any length desired. Truly buildings of 1,000 uses, ClearSpan structures currently function as ice hockey and skating rinks, swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, football and soccer fields, driving range shelters and more. |
Excellent Air Quality
A ClearSpan Fabric Structure feels and smells fresh and clean. The natural light cuts down on moisture and bacteria growth, providing an environment that is healthier and more suitable for athletes than conventional steel and wood buildings. Superior ventilation options, such as roll-up sides and wall vents, are available. |
Low Maintenance
Made from polyethylene or vinyl, ClearSpan covers never need maintenance or cleaning with harsh chemicals. Spend more time enjoying sports and activities and less time maintaining your athletic facility. Wash off dust, dirt, and pollutants with water or let the rain clean the exterior of the building for you. |

Ours versus Theirs
Maximum Usable Space
No interior support posts means no interference with sports, activities or viewing areas.
Support posts and beams limit usable space; not enough openness for sporting fields, courts or rinks.
Bright and Open
Fabric cover lets in natural light, even when it's not bright out; playing and training is more comfortable in open, airy bright space.
Dark and gloomy with low ceilings and little natural light; costly electric bills; cold, industrial feel.
Easy to Relocate and Expand
If you move, your building can be relocated; if you need more space, you can easily expand your facility.
Permanent and inflexible. Cannot be relocated, eventually needs to be destroyed and disposed of; costly and time consuming to add on to.
Fast Construction
Can easily build up to 5,000 sq. ft. in a day, which results in lower construction costs.
Long construction timelines raise costs. It may take months for building to be completed.
