Frequently Asked Questions
Most fabric-building sites hide the answers behind a sales call. We’ve put the specs, the comparisons, and the real numbers right here — because an informed buyer is a confident buyer.
General
Yes. Financing is available through First Capital Leasing with flexible payment options — monthly or seasonal — to match cash flow for farmers, business owners, and acreage holders. 95% of customers are approved within 4 hours. Get Approved Now
Every building features galvanized steel double-truss frames paired with heavy-duty 750 g/m² PVC covers. That's 23% heavier than the 610g industry standard, meaning better resistance to UV, wind, and snow in Canadian conditions.
Fabric weight — measured in grams per square metre (g/m²) — directly determines how long your cover lasts and how well it handles UV, wind, snow, and temperature swings. Most competitors advertise prices using 450–610g PVC, then charge thousands more to upgrade. Every MAX building includes 750g (26.5oz) PVC standard — up to 40% heavier than what others sell at their listed price. That's why we back it with a 12-year warranty. When comparing prices, always ask: what weight is the PVC?
Core models range from 20' × 40' to 80' × 200', covering 800 to 16,000 square feet. Widths run 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 feet - the 80-foot Industrial Series carries a 900g cover and a 37-foot peak. Custom options including arched buildings, sea-can covers, aircraft hangars, and livestock shelters are available upon request.
Common applications include equipment and vehicle storage, farm supplies, boat/RV/aircraft storage, workshops, riding arenas, livestock shelters, commercial rental bays, and warehousing. If it needs to be covered, there's a MAX building for it.
A comparable post-frame structure costs 5–6× more for the same covered square footage. MAX buildings are modular, portable, and the cover is replaceable — making it a true 50-year solution at a fraction of the cost. Plus, no contractor needed.
We ship across Canada from two distribution hubs — Edmonton, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario — serving farms, acreages, and businesses coast to coast. Free delivery within 888 km of Edmonton & Toronto on select models.

Contact us with your preferred model and postal code. Buildings in stock or already inbound hold with a $200 deposit — it comes off your price and books a provisional delivery week, with the balance due 10 business days before that week. Special-order sizes take 20% down and custom builds 50%, with a 30–60 day lead time.
Installation & Site Prep
Yes. Professional installation quotes are available across Canada through our trusted local installation partners. All buildings also ship with complete hardware and detailed step-by-step instructions for DIY assembly — most go up in a weekend with 2–4 people.
Every building ships complete: galvanized steel frame kit, 750g PVC cover, tensioning ratchet straps and hardware, heavy-duty ground stakes, assembly instructions, and door frames with winch systems.
Regulations vary by municipality. Many customers install without permits for temporary or movable structures, but we recommend checking with your local authority first. We can provide technical drawings for permit applications if needed.
Absolutely — that's one of the biggest advantages. MAX buildings can be disassembled, relocated, and reinstalled wherever you need them. If your operations move, your building moves with you.
Anchoring & Foundations
No. Roughly graded ground is all a MAX building needs to start, and ground anchors are included with every building. Concrete — blocks, footings, sonotubes, or a slab — is one anchoring option among several, not a requirement. Full breakdown: how our buildings are anchored.
Galvanized steel stakes, 15 mm thick and one metre long, driven through the footplates: four per footplate, two footplates per truss — eight stakes per truss — plus at least eight more at each end wall. A 40’ × 60’ takes 72 stakes. On the 70’ and 80’ wide series, additional cover hold-down plates between the trusses take two stakes each. Every stake ships in the box. See the full stake math.
Gravel and sand take screw piles — under the footplates, or between trusses with cables drawn tight in a V. Solid rock takes wedge anchors drilled straight in, with shims to level. Ground with no grip at all takes ballast: roughly two-ton concrete blocks, cabled to the frame. Every method, every ground type.
Stake anchoring runs until the ground freezes — on the prairies, typically the end of October. Wedge-anchoring into concrete blocks, footings, or a slab carries on through the winter. How to choose.
Durability & Weather Resistance
Wind rated up to 120 km/h. Snow load rated up to 80 kg/m². The peaked geometry and cover tension design are engineered to shed snow rather than accumulate it, keeping structural loads manageable through Canadian winters.
Yes. All 750g PVC covers are UV-treated for long-term sun exposure resistance, rated for 10–11 years of continuous outdoor use in Canadian conditions.
750g PVC covers typically last 10–11 years before needing replacement. Affordable replacement cover packages ensure buildings can last indefinitely with periodic re-covering — a true 50-year solution.
Minimal. Keep covers clean and properly tensioned, check anchors periodically, and inspect after major storms. The PVC is highly durable but will eventually become brittle from UV exposure over the 10–11 year lifespan — at which point you simply swap the cover.
Shipping & Delivery
Yes — coast to coast. Free delivery within 888 km of Edmonton & Toronto on select models. Beyond that, we arrange competitive freight options with the customer. Customer pickup is available at our Edmonton warehouse by appointment, on paid-in-full packages.
In-stock buildings ship within 2–5 business days. Exact timelines vary by your location and current inventory. Pre-orders and custom sizes have a 30–60 day lead time.
Yes, on paid-in-full packages. Pickup is at our Edmonton warehouse by appointment — we are not a walk-in storefront and cannot take drop-in visits. Once your building is paid and ready, we schedule a pickup time with you and send the address and loading details. Bring a trailer rated for the load; we confirm the package size and weight in advance.
Warranty & Support
Two tiers: a 2-Year Manufacturing & Material Defect Warranty covering all components, and a 12-Year Limited Fabric Cover Warranty protecting PVC against premature failure from material defects. Coverage is prorated after year two. Exclusions include normal aging, misuse, weather events beyond rated specs, and excessive loads. Full details on our warranty page.
Yes. Replacement cover packages are available for every model we sell. Each package includes the main cover, end walls, new ratchets, and PVC tubing — everything needed for a complete refresh. One frame, decades of use.
Pricing & Ordering
MAX buildings range from $5,888 (20'×40') to $83,888 (70'×200'). Every price includes the 750g PVC cover, double-truss galvanized steel frame, all hardware, and anchoring — no hidden upgrade fees. Monthly financing starts at approximately ~$69/month (illustrative estimate) through First Capital Leasing.
Your building ships flat-packed on a standard freight truck with all components: steel frame sections, PVC cover, end walls, hardware, ground anchors, ratchet tensioners, and assembly instructions. Delivery is free within 888 km of our Edmonton and Toronto hubs. Beyond 888 km, a distance-based delivery charge applies — contact us with your postal code for an exact freight quote.
Most buildings can be assembled in 1 to 4 days depending on size, crew experience, and site conditions. All buildings use bolt-together construction — no welding or special tools required. Assembly instructions are included with every order.
MAX includes 750g (26.5oz) PVC covers standard on every building — up to 40% heavier than the 450–610g covers many competitors use at their advertised price. All MAX buildings use double-truss galvanized steel frames, not single-truss. And our listed price includes everything: cover, frame, hardware, and anchoring. No upgrade tiers, no surprise fees.
