The Most Economical Storage
Under a Permanent Roof


Innovative fabric-covered grain storage

WHY HOOP BUILDINGS?

Is going hoop right for you?

Customers come to us looking…


  • To expand storage capacity in the next several years

  • For 1-6 million bushels storage

  • For a smarter investment than grain bins

  • To keep the best possible grain quality

  • For flexibility and ease of management

  • Or to transform a temporary storage facility into a permanent facility

Our keder-connected MaconFortress™ technology is attached in separate pieces across the trusses, minimizing risk, maximizing strength, and allowing quick replacement in the unlikely event of damage. 

Harboring against wind and rain, our keder system creates a continuous waterproof connection between the 24-foot fabric sections and the frame without risk of wear points on the cover.

Keders, often used for boat covers and sails, have transformed the stability and integrity of hoop building covers. Historically, the cover of a hoop building was its weakest link. Concerns about hoop building covers are eliminated with the use of keders.
The hoop building cover is heat-sealed around a nylon rope, which is fed through an aluminum track. The aluminum track is fastened to the top of the truss, creating a continuous stabilizing connection.
