Hi, I was wondering if you could help me or point me in the right direction. I'm working on a design for a new inflatable temporary structure and need to know how many and what size fire exits should be in place

For means of escape it would depend like any other building on the size, layout, how fast a fire would spread but with one major different consideration, how would the structure behave in a fire. Would the building collapse on the occupants, is the material used fire retardant, I know there is guidance on inflatable structures but I cannot locate at this moment and if and when I do, I will get back to you.

I have found a guide that may suit your purposes, check out http://www.performan...re/mutamarq.pdf and remember once the structure is erected you will need to conduct a a risk assessment as required by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

More info as it gets more confusing. http://www.hantsfire...s/pd-6-40-8.htm please note BS 6661: 1986 ‘Design, Construction and Maintenance of Single Skin Air Supported Structures’ has been withdrawn but Approved Document B still refers to it..
