One of the major benefits of a Rubb building is the white PVC fabric roof, the white roof of all Rubb buildings and shelters allows natural daylight to penetrate through into the structure, providing an ideal indoor environment for a multitude of uses.

The THA shelter was actually too bright as it caused glare on promotional photographs for the cars that they are selling! Rubb Buildings Ltd therefore provided the client with an additional inner liner for the roof of the shelter to minimize the glare on the photos.

Garland Construction was hired to repair an existing Rubb THA shelter at the USPS Springfield Bulk Mail Center. The existing structure had sustained a considerable amount of damage from past usage. It was decided that a complete replacement was the best answer which included a heavy duty concrete wall supplied by Garland Construction. The new shelter measures 26.2’ feet by 30 feet. The track operated PVC folding door was extended to allow for the poured foundation which also makes it easier for equipment to operate in the building.

PVC Measuring and Cutting Machine

October 29th, 2009 by Rubb

This machine is specially made for Rubb Hall AS and allows very efficient measuring out of fabric length. When the length has been set by the operator the machine automatically pulls the required length from the roll and the operator then pushes a button for semi-automatic cutting of the fabric. This means we only need one operator for fabric measuring and cutting while before we needed two. Rubb Hall AS always strives to innovate to keep costs to our customers as low as possible.

The above 32.8′ x 30′ THA shelter was constructed for Anchor Fence, a Maine-based installer of custom fences, landscape accessories and outdoor furniture. The shelter features a track-operated PVC folding door and will be used for storage at their Kennebunk, Maine facility.

Anchor Fence contacted Rubb, Inc. to replace an existing building provided by others that had failed. The owner of Anchor Fence had been aware of the Rubb building design and has seen locally that the THA shelter line with the proper care can sustain the snowy winters associated with Southern Maine.
