Tension Fabric Buildings for
Sport and Recreation
No tents here! Clamshell tension fabric
buildings are just that ... buildings.Clamshelter® Pool Enclosure, Cincinnati, OH

Clamshelters®
are high-strength structures. Rugged and durable, they can stand up to almost any weather
- from arctic cold to desert heat, from heavy snow to high wind loads. They can be
air-conditioned or heated, rigged for lights and wired for sound. And Clamshelters® are engineered to meet national/local building codes.
But unlike conventional construction,
standard Clamshelters can be erected in a week or two, easily re-configured as your needs
change, and quickly relocated to another locale or site. And wherever they stand, Alaska
to the Sahara, their sleek PVC skins and rugged aluminum arches draw crowds and comment.
