Rapid Deployment Shelters Big Top military shelters can be easily transported in standard 40 foot containers or packaged for air shipment on 3 train pallets and shipped anywhere in the world quickly and economically. Deployable LAMS style Maintenance Shelter System Designs are available upon your request.

Multipurpose Shelter Systems Big Top fabric structures are commonly used on military bases to provide weather-resistant maintenance/repair space, humidity-controlled temporary large storage for aircraft, equipment, vehicles, and other military items and weather-protected shaded area for military daily operations.

Temporary or Semi-permanent Structures Considered as “temporary shelter structures,” Big Top military shelters do not count against military base square footage requirement. In addition, sometimes referred to as relocatable (portable) shelter systems, Big Top shelters can be easily relocated as your shelter needs change or military base moves.

 
GSA Contract Our fabric shelters can be purchased on Government Credit Cards or from our GSA contract. Please call or submit this military validation form to access a GSA information packet exclusively for military shelter buyers.

From Design to Erection of Shelters: A Total Solution Source to Military Shelter Projects in One Place.

Rapid Deployment Fighter Jet Sunshade
Yuma, Arizona
Flight Line Sunshades have been installed in Yuma, Arizona and China Lake, California. Big Top has designed a system that reduces heat fatigue of personnel, as well as, reduces temperatures on aircrafts that are stored outside.

Our proprietary system reduced temperatures on the seat and the window canopy of the aircraft by as much as 71 degrees Fahrenheit!

Temperatures on the nose of the aircraft were reduced by 24 degrees Fahrenheit. The test was conducted by military personnel and the results are available by request.
The military has utilized Big Top aircraft hangars all over the world in all weather conditions. These structures can be erected without footings or foundations on any type of surface. Each fabric structure is custom designed to provide a total solution to the military for unique and challenging projects. This structure was custom fabricated to cover maintenance personnel while they work on the electronics of the KC-10.

Eglin Air Force Base
 
CV-22 Osprey in Big Top Shade Shelter in NM
Tiltrotor Aircraft Shade Shelter
The Eglin Air Force Base sun shade is relocatable, quickly deployable, and employs a flight line sunshade design to decrease the temperature of aircrafts up to 24 degrees. A blast shield like the one used at Edwards AFB was not necessary at Eglin due to the taller height of the Eglin shelters. Check more pictures about Big Top Military Aircraft Shade Shelter Project at Eglin Air Force Base.   The Airmen of USAF base in New Mexico do maintenance on their CV-22 Osprey in a Big Top flight line sun shelter. The shade shelter in NM provides not only the reduction of temperature on the tiltrotor aircraft but also the increase of crew productivity during day operations in the military base where 24/7 aircraft readiness is a priority.
     
Edwards Air Force Base
 
Helicopter Shelter - Bahamas
This sunshade was especially designed to fit the FA 22 fighter plane and was fitted with a durable blast shield in the ceiling of the shelter which would withstand the extreme heat of the FA22 upon start up.   Big Top installed two helicopter sunshade shelters for USCG in the Bahamas. These shelters were used for helicopter maintenance in the Caribbean. This steel framed building covered with fabric can weather winds in excess of up to 140 MPH.
