Harrison Wexler, part owner and executive vice president of the company, was in charge of finding a storage structure to house the company’s tire warehousing facility. “We had been using a metal building for the tire stor- age, but when we needed to use it as space for a manu- facturing expansion, we decided that the purchase of an additional structure was required,” Wexler says. Wexler chose a fabric structure due to the cost effec- tiveness of the buildings. “Compared to the price of a metal building like the one we had previously been using, the cost of the fabric structure was much lower,” he says, “and we chose it mainly because of how much money we saved.” Since purchasing the fabric structure, Wexler has noticed several other added benefits of his building. “Our operating costs have decreased significantly due to the lack of lighting and utilities needed,” he says. “We also love that there are less code restrictions than with a typical building. No sprinkler system is required, and I can utilize more space within the building.”
