Construction Advantages
The side and top panels are covered with galvanized steel panels and trimmed with aluminum angle for a clean, durable finish. Both upper corners of the shelter have overlapping wear pleats for added protection from trailer impacts and tearing. The top panel is peaked to drain water.
A foam bead is sewn into the leading edge of the vertical front panels and top panel
Vertical panels are double layered fabric at the leading edge of the impact area
The fabric is double stitched with high strength polyester thread that has been UV treated for improved durability
Fiberglass stays are encased in multi-layer pockets and provide the vertical panels with strength (Top stays are “Z" style to keep the curtain straight)
