The new 40x40ft (12x12m) Quick-Mount Commercial Grade Dome Shelter now features 9 arches with 56 purlins connecting the structure together to form a solid structure. Enhancing the stability of the frame are 16 cross-bracing tubes situated between the first and last 2 arches.
This ultra-portable and semi-permanent structure is designed to provide a total of 144m² of under cover weatherproof space. This reliable shelter is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, offering superior protection for business-critical machinery and materials against wind, rain, cold, dust, frost, and even snow.
