In our experience, durable industrial storage tents are best suited for  short-term rentals of several weeks or days to several months.  These tents can be specified to a very high standard with solid sides, so don’t be put off by “tent!” They are very robust structures.  Longer-term rentals of one, two, three (or more) years are best suited to semi-permeant structures.

Renting a temporary building is a popular option for increasing long-term space without committing to the purchase of a building or costly new build construction project. With renting, you can have a storage solution installed on-site quickly and without significant upfront capital expenditure. This means no expensive architects, consultants, or hidden costs. Once you no longer need the building, we will dismantle and remove it, ensuring a hassle-free process.

Temporary buildings: Flexibility, durability and adaptability

Temporary buildings are semi-permanent structures, they can be installed on virtually any surface.  Thanks to their more efficient footprint we can install on tight and constrained sites, where traditional construction is simply not possible.  They offer a good alternative to permanent buildings because of their speed, flexibility and adaptability.  These benefits are maximised when you choose to hire!

Due to their lightweight frame, they need very little initial groundwork and once the structure is dismantled, the space can resume its previous function. As modular structures, they are easily relocated to other sites, should the need arise. Hiring a temporary building is also a great way to ensure that it is the correct solution for you. If you initially rent, we can offer purchase options throughout the rental term. 

WHY hire a temporary warehouse?

When you choose to hire a temporary warehouse, you get instant storage space on your site, without worrying about expensive and disruptive off-site storage. 

Productivity and efficiency 

If you have the space, it will save a huge amount of time and organisation, when compared with traveling to and from off-site storage facilities.  We know transporting stock and equipment can be a real challenge, not to mention the impact on effective inventory management.  Reliance on a third party for access and maintenance is also a risk our clients are always happy to see the back of.

Flexibility and resilience 

A temporary building will allow you to adapt, providing additional space for fulfilment, distribution, and manufacturing when compared to off-site storage, that will only ever be, storage. Temporary buildings are a flexible, multi-purpose addition to your existing site.
