You bought the kit. We put it up. Professional installation for every Uncle Wiener fabric shelter — single truss, double truss, container shelters, and the 26.5oz commercial buildings. We handle missing parts and overseas docs without making you make the support call.
Uncle Wiener's Wholesale ships some of the most affordable fabric buildings in Western Canada — solid kits at the price, with the trade-off that you're on your own for missing parts and overseas documentation. We install every Uncle Wiener size at flat-rate pricing by footprint, do the parts inventory before lifting, and source what's missing so you don't end up on hold with their support line.
Uncle Wiener's Wholesale sells some of the most affordable fabric storage buildings in Canada. They ship from 18-plus locations across Western Canada and run a catalogue from small 6×6 fabric shelters up through 70-ft commercial double-truss industrial buildings. For the price, they're solid value — and that's the whole appeal.
What they ship is a kit. Pallet of galvanized steel tubes, a roll of PE or PVC fabric, hardware bags, and a manual. They don't offer installation. They don't offer on-site support. If parts are missing, you're calling a phone tree and dealing with email replies on overseas time. If you're handy and you bought a small shelter, you can put it up yourself in a weekend. If you bought the 30-ft Double Truss or anything from the 40-to-70-ft commercial line, you need a crew with lift equipment and the experience to know what to do when the bag of bolts is short.
Uncle Wiener sells at volume and at price. That's their strength. The trade-off shows up in the support and the QC: independent reviews tell a consistent story of missing parts, slow customer service, and store-credit-only resolutions on defective items. That's not a knock on the kit itself — it's the business model. They keep prices low by keeping support lean.
So when your kit arrives and you're staring at 40 steel tubes, overseas-language documentation, and a hardware bag that's short two carriage bolts, you've got two paths: spend a weekend chasing a replacement through their support email, or call a crew that's done it a hundred times and keeps common parts on the truck. We pick up. We sort it before the lift starts. The build doesn't stop.
Installation covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment (manlifts), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup.
Pricing is set by footprint, not by brand. An Uncle Wiener 30-ft Double Truss costs the same to install as a TMG or Hills 30-wide. The full pricing table is on the homepage. For a deeper walkthrough of what a fabric building install actually involves, the installation guide covers the full process.
Same pricing applies regardless of brand. Find your size, that's your price.

Yes. We install every size Uncle Wiener sells — the small 6×6 and 13×20 fabric shelters, the 20×20 / 20×40 / 40×40 truss buildings, the 30-ft Double Truss, and the 40 to 70-ft commercial double-truss with 26.5oz PVC. Uncle Wiener doesn't offer installation themselves, so this is one of the most common kits we end up putting up for customers.
Pricing is by footprint, not by brand. The full table runs from 20×40 up to 70×200 on our homepage. The posted price covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment (manlifts), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup.
That's the most common reason customers call us about Uncle Wiener kits. We do a full parts inventory at the start of the build before anything goes in the air. Most missing hardware is standard size and we keep common pieces on the truck. If something larger is missing — a tube, a truss splice — we source it locally. We don't make you call Uncle Wiener's support line; we deal with it so the build keeps moving.
The 30-ft Double Truss and the 40-ft to 50-ft commercial sizes are the workhorses. They show up at oilfield service yards, ranches, and rural shop sites across Alberta and BC. The smaller 20×20 and 20×40 truss buildings come through often as second buildings on yards that already have a primary shop. The very small fabric shelters (6×6, 7×12) are usually DIY territory — we'll do them but it's rare.
It's heavier than you'd expect at the price point — most budget brands run 17–20oz on their commercial fabric. The 26.5oz is durable cover stock and the rip-resistance is real. Where Uncle Wiener saves money is in hardware tolerances and instructions, not in the fabric itself. With a proper install and right tensioning, the 26.5oz cover holds up fine on a Prairie site for the rated service life.
Level site with proper drainage (compacted gravel pad is the most common foundation for Uncle Wiener kits), every crate or bundle unpacked, and clear access for our crew and the manlift. We do the parts check on day one — that's when we catch what's missing. For a deeper read see our piece on what to expect on install day.
