This may have been covered but "search" isn't pulling up a thread;

Fabric hoop type garage shelters, , , has anyone seen any manufacturers that make a IRC (accessory bldg) compliant structure?
 
You mean like this?

I am sure they do....but it will have to come with the engineering to prove it....the ones Mark shows look more "commercial" and come with stamps....Good Luck!
 
yes, engineered and stamped for New England area, I know the larger structures are available, but everyone is always looking for garage sized ones and I have never seen one that I can approve. If I could find one, I'd buy it myself . . .

Good luck getting it past a planning dept.
Interesting you say that. There would have to be a zoning regulation particularly against fabric covered structures, right?
