How Strong is the DuraWeave Fabric used on Cover-All buildings?

To demonstrate the strength of the DuraWeave® fabric used on Cover-All® buildings, a custom framework of steel tubing and DuraWeave fabric was created to show the performance under unusual conditions. The strength demonstration was performed by lifting a 6,200-pound truck with a fabric panel of only 12 feet by 24 feet in dimensions. Cover-All decided to test the hypothesis: “Could DuraWeave fabric lift the weight of something as heavy as a truck?” The answer to the question was captured by video in the footage below.
