What is a Fabric Shelter?

A Fabric Shelter is a type of tent that consists of a steel frame and a fabric cover. The temporary fabric structures are constructed of high strength galvanized steel tubing and high-quality Flame Resistant, PVC vinyl. Typically the fabric is tensioned to the frame using cable or rope to create a tight fitting cover membrane.
