Constructed of rugged steel tubing with a Dacron reinforced vinyl cover (which comes in five different colors), it will support heavy snow loads and fixtures, and withstand wind forces as hieh as 100 mph.

It claims several distinct advantases over air structures or "bubbles. " It ;ill not collapse, operating costs are minimal, it is not susceptible to power failure, and unlike air structures, will not sustain heavy damage if inadvertently torn from inside or outside.

As a temporary structure, Temspan is generally not bound by zoning restrictions.
