Clear-span fabric sports building interior with daylit membrane roof over a single-sport playing surface
SPORTS BUILDINGS ONTARIO

Built around one sport, done right.

Engineered fabric sports buildings for Ontario clubs, schools and municipalities — clear-span domes sized to a single field, court bank or training centre, installed turnkey by one Ontario team.

ONE SPORT, SIZED RIGHT

Not every building needs to do everything.

Some clubs and municipalities need one activity done well rather than a large multi-use facility. A sports building sized around a single sport keeps the clear span, ceiling height and layout matched to exactly what's being played — soccer, tennis, pickleball, batting cages or a dedicated training bay — without paying for volume you won't use. The same clear-span structure and daylighting membrane apply; the difference is scope.

  • →Clear-span widths matched to your sport and court count
  • →Insulation and heat packages sized to your operating season
  • →Stamped engineering for any Ontario snow and wind zone
  • →Membrane warranty terms confirmed in the issued documents

Sized to Your Sport

Clear-span widths matched to a single field, a bank of courts, or a training bay — no wasted volume, no compromise on run-out.

Daylit Play Surface

A translucent membrane spreads diffuse natural light across the floor, reducing daytime reliance on artificial lighting.

Engineered for Ontario Loads

Stamped to the snow, wind and seismic loads of your site, wherever in Ontario the building sits.

Built for Regular Bookings

Doors, storage and circulation planned around how a club actually turns the space between sessions.

SIZING THE BUILDING

The sport sets the dimensions.

A single-sport building is sized around the specific activity, not a generic footprint. These are the inputs we use before any dimension is quoted:

  • →Which sport or sports the building is built around
  • →Number of courts or fields and the run-out space each needs
  • →Ceiling height required by the specific sport
  • →Year-round or seasonal operation, which drives insulation and heat
  • →Storage needs for nets, mats, flooring sections and maintenance gear
  • →Whether changerooms or a small office are required inside the envelope

Send those details and we will come back with a building size, a foundation approach and a preliminary budget range. Preliminary figures are for budgeting only — final pricing follows engineering, site conditions and the configuration you select.

Court sports

Tennis, pickleball and similar sports are driven by ceiling clearance and court count as much as floor area.

Field sports

Indoor soccer and similar fields are driven by field length, sideline run-out and turf drainage.

Training centres

Batting cages, golf and skills training often fit a narrower, longer footprint than a full field or court bank.

Shared amenities

Even a single-sport building can include a small office, storage room or washroom inside the envelope.

FOUNDATION & TECHNICAL PACKAGE

The slab is matched to the sport.

The floor slab or turf base for a sports building is engineered around the specific playing surface — sport tile, hard court coating or turf infill each have different sub-base and drainage requirements. We design the footing or stem wall, the slab and the frame connections as one system, then pour it and erect the building with our own crews so steel goes up on a floor built for the sport it's carrying.

  • →Sub-base and slab finish matched to your flooring system
  • →Door openings sized for equipment and turf delivery
  • →Insulation package specified where year-round play is planned
  • →One contract from excavation through commissioning

Surface options

Artificial turf, cushioned hard court and sport tile are each planned with their manufacturer's sub-base requirements.

Booking-friendly layout

Doors, storage and sightlines placed so staff can turn the building over between bookings quickly.

SITE & PLANNING CHECKLIST

What we walk through before drawings start.

Drainage and grading

Site grading and roof drainage so runoff moves away from entrances and any adjacent outdoor courts or fields.

Parking and access

Vehicle counts for peak booking hours and accessible routes to every entrance.

Foundation type

Footing or stem wall and slab sized to the frame and the flooring system — turf, hard court or sport tile.

Approvals

Permit drawings for your municipality and any occupancy review tied to the number of users on site at once.

Even a single-sport building has to satisfy parking, drainage and occupancy review at the municipal level. We plan for it with the layout rather than after permit submission.

WHO WE BUILD FOR

One sport, several kinds of operator.

Private clubs and franchise operators

Single-sport businesses where the building's comfort and daylight directly affect member and league retention.

Municipalities and school boards

Community and school-adjacent facilities adding indoor capacity for one sport without a full recreation-centre build.

Sport-specific academies

Training centres built around one discipline — batting cages, golf, tennis or a single-sport development program.

Regional sport associations

Leagues needing dedicated indoor time that outdoor fields and outdoor courts can't provide through an Ontario winter.
