Fabric structure infrared heating

Fabric structure infrared heating

Fabric structure infrared heating

(OP)
Can infrared tube heater (natural gas or propane) be used in fabric structure (http://farmtek.com/farm/supplies/cat1;ft1_tension_fabric_buildings;ft1_clearspan_truss_arch_buildings.html
)?  I assume it would be common because infrared heat seems to be the best way of heating this kind of building.

My question is how to vent the exhaust and combustion air thru the fabrics?  Also piping the gas pipe seems to be a challenge too?


 

RE: Fabric structure infrared heating

What is the situation with fire hazards?

I am not so familiar with that material, but it seems like something where fire dangers need above-average attention, and that is where infrared heaters are not so recommendable, if at all.
