    Legacy Building Solutions is different.

    Although rapid deployment is an available option, it is not always the best option. It offers a quick and easy solution, but at Legacy, we offer you a better solution. Our solution is one that is highly engineered and customizable.

    Legacy’s custom design tension fabric structures have many advantages over rapid deployment. By erecting structures that can be customizable, we are open and able to accommodate the needs of the building.

    For example, Legacy specializes in hangars for airplanes and helicopters in the U.S. military and overseas. Because our buildings are framed with solid steel, Legacy can custom engineer a tension fabric structure to over 300’ wide in order to fit a large aircraft. Our engineers have the ability to meet your project’s custom height, length and width needs for all types of hangars. Our system also adapts to multiple, if not all, types of door systems on aircraft hangars. Legacy is capable of designing the exoskeleton frames necessary to carry large aviation doors. Like the NAS Patuxent River Defense and Aerospace Structure, we have the ability to install large doors to accommodate the needs of the aircraft hangar, which was needed for this building.

    Our buildings are not one-size-fits-all. We create unique, one of a kind structures built just for our customers.

    We also provide the military with safe and secure structures so this no longer needs to be a worry. Legacy is able to construct specialty custom design buildings for Homeland Security for inspection stations. This Duos project provided Homeland Security with a railway inspection station to minimize their worry and maximize their protection.

    If you want fast, rapid deployment, our competition has your back. If you want custom, engineered tension fabric structures, Legacy is the best choice.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is Legacy different from rapid deployment building providers?

    Rapid deployment structures are quick solutions—but they are often limited in size, strength, and customization. Legacy offers highly engineered, custom tension fabric structures designed to fit your exact project requirements. Our buildings are built to last, with solid steel framing and long-term durability that rapid deployment options cannot match.

    Can Legacy build large aircraft hangars?

    Yes. Legacy specializes in custom-engineered hangars for airplanes and helicopters for the U.S. military and overseas. Our steel-framed tension fabric structures can be engineered over 300 feet wide, with custom height, length, and width to fit any aircraft.

    What types of door systems can be integrated into Legacy hangars?

    Legacy’s exoskeleton frames are engineered to carry large aviation doors, including complex door systems required for military and defense hangars. For example, at NAS Patuxent River, we designed and installed large specialty doors to meet the exact needs of the project.

    Does Legacy only build aircraft hangars?

    No. While aviation is one of our specialties, Legacy also designs and constructs custom buildings for Homeland Security and other government agencies. For example, we provided Homeland Security with a railway inspection station designed to maximize protection and minimize risk.

    Why not choose rapid deployment if it’s faster?

    Rapid deployment may be the right choice for short-term or temporary needs, but it comes with limitations. Legacy focuses on long-term, safe, and secure custom solutions that are built around your operational requirements. If you want speed, other providers may work. If you want a custom-engineered structure designed to last, Legacy is the better choice.

    Are Legacy buildings one-size-fits-all?

    No. Every Legacy structure is unique and one-of-a-kind, designed specifically for the customer. From dimensions to doors to operational needs, we tailor each building to maximize functionality, efficiency, and safety.
