Dueck’s Mechanical Inc. manufactures one of North America’s leading fabric covered steel structures, Diamond Shelters.
Located in Whitemouth in southeastern Manitoba, the company has been designing, developing and manufacturing fabric covered buildings since 1989.
They operate an extensive dealer network in Canada and the United States to market their structures.
Dueck’s Mechanical Inc., a family-run company, is certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau and is CSA A660 approved. This assures the customer is receiving a high-quality product.
The company offers a full range of building solutions for just about any industry that requires a durable permanent or portable shelter.
With the company’s roots firmly planted on the prairies, owner LaVern Dueck abides by the do-it-yourself philosophy toward taking on challenges and solving problems.
His background in farm machinery and mechanical repair launched him on the path of building shelters for hogs and other agricultural applications before the company began promoting their structures in the commercial, industrial and residential areas.
The various applications for this type
of building system have grown exponentially over the years with the
shelters finding uses as car garages, boat and yard equipment
storage, commercial warehousing, greenhouses, indoor recreational
training facilities, insulated workshops, and highways salt and
sand
storage.
The company designs and manufactures single hoop and welded truss shelters that range in size from 15 feet to 160 feet wide and to a length that suits the customer’s individual needs.
Both single hoop and welded truss are available in ponywall, freestanding, or high profile models.
Although they do have standard widths, the company can design and manufacture custom sizes.
The covers are made from durable 12 ounce North American-made polyethylene fabric.
The covers are available in white, blue, silver, tan, green, red and translucent colours. Flame retardant fabric in various colors is also available.
The covers come with a standard 10-year
pro-
rated warranty that can be upgraded to an optional 15 year
pro-rated warranty. The shelters are fabricated
using structural
steel with its ability to withstand heavy loads.
In corrosive environments, such as for salt and sand storage, the standard steel frames can be given an optional powder coating for a tough and durable protective coating that enhances the appearance of each structure.
Every package delivered comes with detailed and easy-to-follow set-up instructions. Diamond Shelters staff and their dealers are available to help with any questions.
Most single hoop structures and smaller welded truss shelters can be assembled by two to four people. Larger buildings will require mechanical assistance to place the rafters and install the cross bracing and cable bracing.
For access into the shelter, the company manufactures fabric doors in various sizes. For more frequent use, larger double sliding doors are available that serve as an effective seal against harsh climate conditions. Overhead doors are also an option.
The company’s
foundation is its trained qualified staff. The fabrication shop
stocks a variety of steel products for sale. As a Praxair dealer,
they supply welding gases and supplies, and stock
hydraulic
fittings and hoses. The metal shop has the expertise to provide
machining, welding and
cutting and shearing services; bend and
form plate, bar or tubular steel; and do precision cutting with its
CNC plasma cutting table.
