In episode three of Truss Talks: Beyond the Fabric, host George Lawless sits down with Darren Scholl, Britespan’s Technical Services Leader, to unpack what really goes into engineering fabric buildings that perform under real-world conditions.

From wind uplift and snow loads to end wall design, hanging equipment, and clear-span layouts, this conversation dives into how engineering decisions made early in the design process directly impact safety, longevity, and installation success across agricultural, commercial, and municipal projects.

Learn how Britespan designs beyond minimum code requirements, why not all fabric buildings are engineered the same, and how site-specific factors like geography, openings, and adjacent structures influence performance. Darren also shares insight into how technical services support dealers and installers in the field to keep projects moving and avoid costly surprises.

If you’re planning a fabric building for storage, operations, or workflow efficiency, or you want to understand what separates a high-performance, code-compliant fabric structure from the rest, this episode offers practical insight into building it right from the start.

In this kickoff episode of Truss Talk, George Lawless sits down with Tom Evans, Britespan’s Product Development Lead, to talk about the launch of our latest fabric building series. Designed from the ground up for real-world performance in agriculture, commercial operations, and municipal infrastructure.

This isn’t a rework. It’s a brand-new, fully engineered fabric structure that supports heavier loads, installs faster, and adapts to a wide range of applications... from livestock and equipment storage to salt sheds, warehousing, and more.

If you're planning a new build or looking to upgrade your operation with a high-performance solution, this episode gives you a first look at what’s next in fabric buildings.
