Comparisons
Six comparisons that decide most purchases in this category. Each one states plainly where the alternative is the better buy.
Inflatable structures are not one product. Drop-stitch, air-beam and air-supported are three different constructions with different failure modes, different operating requirements and different prices. Most quoting confusion in this market comes from comparing across constructions without knowing it. These pages exist so that does not happen to you.
Drop-stitch vs air-beam
The construction difference that decides what happens when something punctures. Air-beam concentrates the structure in a few tubes; drop-stitch spreads it across chambered walls.
Oku → 02Air dome vs air wall
Most inflatable sports halls are air-supported domes that need blowers running continuously and an airlock. Air-wall structures do not. The price gap is real and so is the reason for it.
Oku → 03Air-filled vs water-filled flood barriers
Water-filled barriers need a water source on site. Air-filled ones do not. For a shop doorway with the flood still coming, that is the entire decision.
Oku → 04Inflatable vs frame shelters
Frame is cheaper per square metre and lasts longer. Inflatable erects faster, packs smaller and needs no crane. Which constraint binds on your project?
Oku → 05PVC vs TPU drop-stitch fabric
For manufacturers specifying fabric. Coating decides cold-weather behaviour, weight and cost — and base fabric decides everything the coating does not.

If you have a Losberger DST specification and need a second source, here is what to compare between suppliers — and where the incumbent legitimately wins.
