Mahaffey's 80 years of experience have allowed us to hone several skills that truly make us
the expert supplier of portable shelter. Specifically, we have perfected a turnkey operation,
with speedy installation and an innovative leasing program. Mahaffey service is an integral
part of the products we produce. The structures themselves are modular, adapting in size
to your evolving needs.

- Turnkey Operation: One call truly does it all at Mahaffey Fabric Structures. We will install your temporary shelter along with walls (fabric or steel), flooring, lighting, air conditioning or heating. As part of our turnkey service, 24/7 coverage is standard - which allows you to concentrate on your projects and leaves us to do the job we've been doing since 1924.
- Speed: Mahaffey Fabric Structures provides quick assembly of its shelters. As a matter of fact, some competitors say they can erect their structures at a rate of 2,000 SF per day. With the same number of installation technicians, we install Mahaffey's lightweight aluminum frame structures at a pace of 10,000 SF a day. In fact, our ready inventory and dedicated staff is able to have trucks ready to roll in hours. When time is of the essence, Mahaffey is the company to call. Our central location is within an overnight drive of 75% of the nation's population. We can reach 45 states, as well as Canada and Mexico, within a two-day drive. Our Memphis base is also the home of Federal Express. When additional parts need to get out quickly, we can send them as late as 11:00 pm for delivery the next morning.
- Leasing: There are unlimited leasing options available from Mahaffey Fabric Structures. Whether your portable shelter needs are for weeks or years, we have a lease option to suit your financial needs. Of course, the lease-purchase option is popular for customers who haven't yet used one and want to "try before they buy."
- USA: In an era of cheap imports and "off shoring" manufacturing jobs, Mahaffey Fabric Structures is proud that our structures are MADE IN THE USA by our dedicated, efficient workforce.
- Cost Effective: Temporary fabric shelters are much more affordable than metal buildings or standard construction methods. Although quickly installed, they can be left up for just a few days, or several years.
- Hassle Free: Once they are installed, Mahaffey Fabric Structures require virtually no maintenance. If any unexpected problems do arise, our team is working for you and can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, our climate control system maintains an accurate interior temperature and humidity as required by your project.
- Clear Span: The name says it all - the interiors of our temporary fabric structures are free of any interior columns or supports of any kind. That means more usable interior space than most any other type of construction. Room you can use for temporary warehouse storage or for moving heavy equipment. Since Mahaffey Fabric Structures first introduced clear span structures to the North American market almost 25 years ago, you have valuable experience on your side.
- No Foundations: Mahaffey Fabric Structures can be erected on virtually any surface - asphalt, gravel, concrete, dirt - we've even erected temporary fabric structures on river barges and city rooftops.
- Low Noise, Inside and Out: Once installed, Mahaffey Fabric Structures have minimal ambient structural noises such as wind induced rattling and creaking. In addition, our fabric shelters have sound dampening properties; this is especially useful when sheltering construction sites and covering environmental remediation projects.
- Durable: Our 'Made in America' aluminum structures are covered with a weatherproof reinforced PVC fabric membrane engineered to withstand harsh weather environments. Our standard MegaStructures have been engineered and independently tested to withstand 120mph winds combined with 30psf snow loads. Mahaffey Fabric Structures have been successfully used in challenging weather conditions ranging from the harsh snows at the Canadian Winter Olympic Games to the windy, hot conditions in the Caribbean isles.
- Eco-friendly: Mahaffey Fabric Structures are fully relocatable - unlike metal buildings and conventional buildings. These shelters are 100% recycled as they are dismantled and reused time after time. At end-of-life the frame and fabric can be recycled into new products just as aluminum cans and milk jugs find new life.
- Custom Designed: Our temporary fabric structures come in a range of sizes, both in terms of width and height, and can be customized with architectural accents such as star gable ends or full-length porches. Mahaffey can also imprint corporate logos or colors on the fabric for maximum marketing impact.
