Air Structures • Benefits • Low Capital Cost • Removable • Structureless Clear Span
Air Structures • Limitations • 8-12 year life • High energy costs (24/7) • Snow/ice maintenance required • Subject to vandalism • Set-up is labor intensive!
Air Structures • Things to Remember • Must have storage space – skin and airlocks • Installation/removal could damage court surface • Address snow/ice accumulation • Plan for catastrophic failure • Be sure facility is secure • Consider underground air delivery and return • Budget to replace skin in 10 years
Fabric Frame Structures • Consists of Three Main Components • Fabric • Aluminum or steel frame • Foundation

Fabric Frame Structures • Benefits • Less expensive than steel buildings • Retractable side walls • Translucent membrane provides natural light
Fabric Frame Structures • Limitations • Poor insulation value • High energy costs • Building life 15-20 years • Subject to vandalism
Steel Buildings • Consists of Three Main Components • Steel Frame • Steel Skin • Foundation
Steel Buildings • Wide Span Structure
Steel Buildings • Long Bay
Steel Buildings • Court Layout
Steel Buildings • Spectator Seating
Steel Buildings • Facility Layout
Steel Buildings • Benefits • Long Life • Most Energy Efficient • Lowest Long Term Cost
Steel Buildings • Limitations • Permanent Structure • Highest Capital Cost
Covered Courts • Steel Building or Fabric Frame Structure without Sidewalls • Can be retractable walls • Ability to play in inclement weather • More applicable to southern climates
