Rubb recently completed its third indoor sports facility in southern Maine. Located in Gorham, the 185' clear span by 267' long structure was originally planned to be an air supported structure. However, after various issues arose with local planning and authorities as well as the Fire Marshall, it was determined that Rubb offered the best solution to meet the customer's and town's requirements.

Additional Features:
A big advantage of the Rubb design over other structure products is the quality, corrosion resistance and strength of the post production hot dip galvanized structural frame. In addition, Rubb used a heavy duty translucent PVC coated polyester cladding with a PVDF top finish to protect the fabric and provide a bright sunny atmosphere, which gives the players the feel of outdoor play year round. The sidewalls of the structure were constructed of steel panels to 12'. The order was placed in the fall of 2003 and opened in March for spring training.
