    Was googling dairy sheds/ barns there an fabric covered buildings appeared a few times, mainly US and Canada. Anyone ever here of them being used here?? The large clear span space would be ideal, if it would last Irish conditions and be cheaper than the steel equivalant

    Saw a few alright, have seen them in the uk and on the continent. Not sure who do them here. You may need to get a specialist company to fit it is case it get loose and tears.

    Used in the US because it won't do any damage when a tornado spits it out!!

    Harsh but more than likely true

    Yeah couldn't find much on any of them here, would be good to have all the options when considering future housing, if they were cost effective they could be suitable to cover a stand off pad or whatever

    Not many tornadoes here :)
    I have seen them at the ploughing and Tullamore show. There was someone doing them here but that was a few years ago, maybe they never took off.
    From what I remember they weren't far off the price of steel buildings.
