Temporary buildings
for short-term use where insulation is not required
Insulation
Bare minimum
You get very little insulation due to the PVC fabric roof. Expensive to heat and cool
ApplicationsNon-sensitive product storage
Terms
Rent or buy
Rent on the most flexible terms available for weeks, months or years
Buy new or whenever you want while renting
Construction time
Fast
They are fast to erect and fast to dismantle
Availability
In Stock
Available as a stock item in a huge variety of sizes
Initial costs
Very low
With very short supply times and most flexible rental options this is the fastest and cheapest way to increase your space
Added costs
Expensive maintenanceExpensive to heat and cool. Potential for on-going maintenance issues / costs (electric roof inflation pumps). No Maintenance costs when hiring as it’s the responsibility of the company who supply it.
Security
Low security
The combination of PVC fabric roof and 0.7mm or 40mm steel cladding makes these easier to break into.
Fire rating
No building regulations fire ratings
This is due to the use of aluminium for the main frame elements combined with the PVC fabric roof covers. There is a level of fire retardancy but not sufficient to meet boundary conditions or fire ratings for the building regulations.
Surface Requirements
Any surface
Can be secured to literally any ground surface (using either bolts or spikes). Will even stand on sloping or uneven ground due to the flexibility of the PVC roof system.
