Fabric Tops
![]() |
Mahaffey structures are quickly installed and remain fully portable partly because we use a PVC fabric membrane for the roof. This fabric is compact, lightweight, and easily maintained, with longevity up to 15 years or more. In addition, it has been pre-stretched in all directions so that no unsightly sagging occurs on walls, tops, or gable ends. Mahaffey uses a unique system to quickly install or replace a roof panel.
There are two choices of tops for most of our structures-translucent and blackout (opaque). The translucent tops allow natural interior lighting, which provides a bright interior at all hours of the day. This is an ideal choice for temporary warehouse structures, construction covers, or environmental enclosures. The blackout tops eliminate any light and keep the interior of the shelter cooler. These are typically used in our Super Series and are popular for shorter-term applications such as concert pavilions and corporate meetings with audiovisual programs.
