Our Inspiration
F3 Instant Structures; inspired by the Bedouins (Desert dwellers) of North Africa, developed a unique relocatable building alternative which utilizes high quality breathable architectural membrane panels (in place of goat hair) combined with a non corroding aluminum substructure.
The anchoring systems & sub structure are based on the original Bedouin style rigging, however it has been customized based on the international mountaineering techniques for commercial usage.
Joint Venture
F3 Instant Stressed Membrane Structures is proud to announce its association with Unit Solutions International.
F3 is a division of Unit Solutions International Group of companies in operation since 1996.
To date the Joint Venture has resulted in the development of the 100% waterproofing of any type of fabric including stretch fabrics.
F3’s watertight stressed membrane tents place us ahead
F3’s unique ability to offer fully waterproofed instant stressed membrane tents has put us ahead of all other suppliers. We now boast ownership of over 600 instant stressed membrane tents available.
Unit Solutions (USI) rigging capability – In 2004 USI rigged 650 instant stressed membrane structures in just over 1 and a half hours, none of our competitors can match or improve this.
Rigging based on international mountaineering techniques
We offer an open invitation to any other Instant stressed membrane company to challenge us on our unique way of using the “prosec & ball” rigging technique; that was established 100’s of years ago. The “SAFETY” challenge can beat any venue that offers gusty wind conditions. The challenge will allow the companies to compete on 1) membrane strength 2) rigging technique 3) water tightness. Any company that are up for the challenge can contact our office for more details:
