MakMax FlexHouse Tent Warehouse

FlexHouse Tent Warehouse

A FlexHouse Tent Warehouse is a tensile structure that uses an flexible PVC membrane stretched over a steel truss frame, designed to be built quickly and at a lower cost than traditional warehouse construction. Compared to conventional warehouses or system-built sheds, the FlexHouse Tent Warehouse offers significantly faster construction times and more economical delivery.

In recent years, advancements in membrane materials have greatly improved the durability of fabric-clad warehouses. What were once seen as temporary shelters are now considered robust, semi-permanent facilities suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses.

Manufactured by our specialist Taiyo Tent Warehouse team in Thailand, the FlexHouse range benefits from the global expertise of the Taiyo Kogyo / MakMax group. Drawing on decades of tensile membrane innovation, FlexHouse combines industrial functionality with quality engineering. Design. Engineer. Fabricate. Install.
