Temporary Structures

Non-Insulated versatile modular temporary structures

Our temporary structures have the credentials to meet all challenges and excel when demand for quality storage on location or at the studio outweighs supply,

Our temporary buildings measure 8 metres to the eave and 12 metres to the apex with clear spans up to 40 metres. This hybrid temporary building design bears all the characteristics of a standard A-Frame structure, but with greatly improved strength and ability to be fully clad in steel roof and wall panelling. This creates a semi-permanent, secure, and fit for purpose facility.

This temporary structure can be installed with a cassette floor or onto a concrete slab if HGV’s will be working within the building. Roller shutter and sliding doors are offered as standard and we take a bespoke approach to the design of the building to ensure your production and storage needs are met.

The roof of our non-insulated temporary buildings can be covered with steel panelling and matching flashings to match the walls or if this is not a requirement a single skin PVC roof can be installed as a more cost-effective solution and colour matched to the walling/existing buildings.

This series of non-insulated temporary buildings can be supplied in large spans, at unlimited lengths and provides valuable temporary storage space incredibly quickly and at a fraction of the cost when compared with a conventional build. Modular in their design, de-mountable and re-locatable these temporary structures will add value to any production site.

Thermally efficient, Insulated, modular temporary structures

When a production, TV or filming location calls for a more bespoke, robust, thermally efficient building our thermally efficient insulated temporary structures are the ideal solution. Taking inspiration from our event structures this hybrid temporary building is engineered to withstand higher loads from both wind and snow combined with enhanced thermal and acoustic properties.

Each of our insulated temporary structures can be designed, manufactured, and customised specific to your intended use and site requirements. This unique approach ensures your production is protected and the building suited to its surroundings and application.

Sharing much of the same DNA as our event structures, with optional level cassette flooring and an A-frame construction, this insulated temporary structure has been through a period of evolution and is now constructed as a semi-permanent, heavy duty building with the option to clad both roof and wall elevations with solid steel sandwich panelling, maximising the thermal and acoustic performance.

Further options for the roof come in the form of inflated twin skin PVC offering a more cost-effective solution but with lower acoustic and thermal credentials.

Our insulated temporary structures hit the mark both in terms of performance and visual appeal and would be a key asset to any film or television production.
