Why Fabric Structures Make Great Sports Facilities

J & J Carter’s indoor sports facilities are an appealing, cost-effective solution for indoor sports complexes, training centres and athletic buildings. Utilising years of experience, our team provides exceptional clear span and energy-efficient structures that are durable, providing a great return on investment.

 We have put together some of the top reasons why you should consider a fabric sports facility:

1. Energy-Efficiency

The light-coloured fabric membrane roof allows natural daylight to pass through, illuminating the sports facility, whilst the white roof surface reflects heat, keeping energy use down. The sports facility can also be fully insulated and heated in an energy-efficient manner, keeping running costs down. Our team can advise on energy savings and other utilities as part of our commitment to sustainable construction.

2. Clear Span Structure 

Our clear span structures create an ideal training centre and sports facility as there are no internal pillars or supports to break up space, giving access to the maximum amount of space available. View our frame supported tennis facility case study at BlackBrook Tennis Centre with a clear span environment of 1,258 sq. m, allowing for a great environment with multiple courts. Create a multi-use facility with the addition of movable walls, nets and even more permanent dividers.

3. Fast Constructions, Installations and Relocation

Our sports facilities can be quickly erected, dismantled and even relocated due to its module pre-fabrication. Our fabric structures are made in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and then transported to and assembled on-site. As most of the process takes place at our facility, the time spent at the building site is much shorter, helping to lower costs. There are also fewer construction delays because unlike traditional construction methods, the pre-fabricated elements allow us the ability to construct our sports facilities in a variety of weather conditions. Our air supported sports facilities are also fully relocatable, allowing for use as a temporary structure at events or exhibitions.

4. Customisable Features

We can build the structure bespoke to your exact specifications and requirements. Our sports buildings can accommodate all types of doors and windows, ventilation and HVAC systems, lighting, flooring and equipment to safely support a wide variety of field and court sports such as football, tennis, hockey, swimming, gymnastics and more.
