Where Athletic Excellence Meets Structural Performance

Step inside 100,050 sq. ft. of athletic excellence. The Pro Football Hall of Fame air-supported dome in Canton, Ohio features Shelter-Rite® architectural fabric, creating a year-round facility built for strength, durability, and lasting structural performance.

Tomorrow’s structures start with Shelter-Rite.

Built for the most demanding architectural environments, the Shelter-Rite® High-Tension Series delivers maximum strength, durability, and long-term performance for large-span, high-load, and high-visibility applications. These advanced membranes combine weft-inserted knit construction, adhesive layers, and advanced exterior coatings to achieve exceptional tensile and tear strength, seam integrity, and dimensional stability.

The High-Tension Series is engineered to withstand extreme tension and environmental exposure while maintaining structural integrity and visual consistency. Its 50-year-proven face coat and top finish options, including Tedlar® PVF, provide long-lasting aesthetics and added protection from the elements. Key properties such as coating adhesion, non-wicking, uniaxial or biaxial elongation, and weldability make this series ideal for prefabricated panels, tensioned assemblies, and large-scale architectural structures, ensuring reliable performance over the life of the building.
