1109.0404 Facade Materials.

   No tent or air-supported structure shall be permitted with a vinyl coated polyester membrane (golf dome) or similar pliable material. All structures shall utilize durable building materials such as brick, stone, metal, or concrete. A tent shall be considered to be a temporary structure or enclosure, the roof of which and/or one half or more of the sides are constructed of silk, cotton, canvas, fabric, or similar pliable material. An air-supported (or air-inflated) structure is any building or structure that derives its structural integrity from the use of internal pressurized air to inflate a pliable material (i.e. structural fabric) envelope, so that air is the main support of the structure, and where access is via airlocks.
