1.1
S Series Shelter Features
Both the interior and exterior covers are made with specially coated polyester fabrics named XYTEX
®
. All fabrics are fire
retardant, mildew resistant and water repellent. They have abrasion resistance and are UV resistant. The exterior fabric
includes blackout in the visual and near infrared spectrum.
The interior and exterior covers are pre-attached to the frame using “KEEPERS” at the hub points in such a way that there is
approximately one foot of dead air space between the two covers that acts as natural insulation. These covers are easily
removable in the event of damage or change of venue.
The “GROUND COVER” and “FLOOR” are made from a heavy duty polyester material. The ground cover provides a
barrier against insects and vermin, abrasion and ground moisture. The floor acts as an inner lining. All shelters feature
screen windows, electrical ports, conditioned air supply and return duct ports, built-in screen doors, wind lines, and ground
stake loops.
