Will my temporary canopy structure withstand snow loadings?

All Aganto structures are built with strong, durable aluminium frames. Our structures are designed to withstand snow and wind loadings to BS6399 structural safety standards. This means no matter the weather you can ensure the protection of goods coming in and out of your loading bay.

How are loading bay canopies installed?

Your new canopy will be surface mounted to the existing hard standing using chemical resin, or toggle anchors depending on the surface type. The installation of a temporary canopy can be completed in a matter of days by our expert installation team allowing your operations to continue without disruption.

What if I need to add or remove walls on my canopy?

All cladding on Aganto industrial canopies slots easily into channels that are engineered into the framework of your structure to avoid the need for multiple fixings. This means that it is easy to add or remove walls from your canopy as needed. Learn more about our industrial canopies here.

What is the expected lifespan of a temporary canopy structure?

Despite being ‘temporary’, our industrial canopies can remain in place for as long as you need them. Some of our clients have had Aganto canopies on their site for over 10 years! Alternatively, our short-term rental contracts start from as little as 3 months. Choose the option that’s best for you and get the space you need when you need it. Learn more about our hire and purchase options here.

Do I need planning permission for a temporary loading bay canopy?

Not every temporary loading bay canopy will require planning permission. Size, location and duration of use will all play a factor in whether your new structure will require planning permission. Need help with your planning application? We've established a close partnership with the planning experts at Mosaic Town Planning to make the process as simple as possible for our clients. For some quick guidance on planning permission for your temporary industrial canopy read our latest blog here.

A typical Aganto temporary canopy can be installed in around 7 days, allowing you to begin using your structure within just weeks.

What surfaces can temporary loading bay canopies be built on?

Aganto temporary loading bay canopies can be installed on a wide range of surfaces including concrete, tarmac and hardcore. This means that foundation work is generally not required, saving you time and money when installing your new canopy.
