Attachment 1 - Salient Characteristics .png

This document provides salient characteristics for a Climbing Cover Fabric (Canopy) specification for a federal contract requirement. The canopy measures 60 feet by 75 feet, with final dimensions to be confirmed during an on-site visit. The structure will weigh between 1,500 and 4,500 pounds when shipped, including steel framing, anchor bolts, and fabric sails, with the exact weight dependent on the structural footprint.

The canopy must be constructed from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) mesh mounted over ASTM A500 Grade B structural steel tubing. The structural steel frame is rated for a minimum lifespan of 20 years, while the HDPE fabric membrane is rated for an average of 10 years under continuous high-UV exposure. The system is engineered to withstand wind loads up to 75 miles per hour and must comply with seismic and snow load requirements per local International Building Code (IBC) standards.
