About Western Specialty Structures
Fabric Buildings Engineered for the West. Built by Experts.
A Leader in Fabric Architecture Since 1999
For over two decades, Western Specialty Structures (WSS) has been at the forefront of the tensile and fabric structure industry. Founded in 1999 by world champion cowboy Dee Pickett, Western Specialty Structure was built on the same principles that lead to success in the rodeo arena: hard work, integrity, and a relentless commitment to being the best. From our home base in Boise, Idaho, we were among the first to introduce the power and versatility of fabric architecture to the Intermountain West. This isn’t just where we work; it’s the community we serve. That local, hands-on approach means our clients get more than a structure; they get a trusted partner who understands the unique demands of the Western United States and is personally invested in the success of every project.
Our history is built on a foundation of engineering excellence and a drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible. From our first project to the hundreds we’ve completed since, our mission has remained the same: to deliver innovative, durable, and custom-engineered structures that solve our clients’ most complex challenges. We aren’t just a company; we are a team of seasoned experts who have dedicated our careers to mastering the art and science of fabric architecture.
