The new structure features hot‑dipped galvanized steel components designed for long‑term durability, along with 8' precast L‑shaped bunker panels enhanced with a corrosion inhibitor to withstand the harsh conditions of salt exposure.

I would definitely recommend a fabric structure to any municipality. Compared to a wood or a concrete structure, the fabric structure is most cost effective and the warranty on the fabric cover is another reason.
We told Greystone up front that we needed our building quickly. We completed the site work early with our own staff and city engineer, then the Greystone crew completed foundations in only two days. After the concrete was cured, the Greystone crew returned, and they installed the steel trusses and fabric cover in just two days. Our teams worked well together. We are very pleased.
