Having operational flexibility in the retail industry is key, especially during peak seasons where additional space is required to manage higher levels of stock. One of the best solutions for retail businesses looking to create flexibility for these requirements is a temporary building.
Depending on your requirements, Aganto’s temporary retail buildings are available to buy new, buy used or as a short-term and long-term hire.
Aganto were great to work with. They were very professional and responsive from start to finish, which is exactly what we needed in the circumstances. In fact, the whole response was tailored to our needs perfectly, including timeframes and a bespoke payment plan, which enabled us to get up and running before any insurance claims were settled.

Unlike permanent structures, which can take months to plan and construct, temporary buildings provide rapid installation to expand your retail space quickly. A typical temporary retail space from Aganto can be installed in around 7 days, allowing you to begin using your structure within just weeks. This makes them ideal for use as emergency space should your existing retail building become damaged or require maintenance.

How are temporary retail buildings installed?
Aganto temporary retail buildings can be installed on a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, tarmac and hardcore, meaning that foundation work is generally not required. Your temporary commercial space will be surface mounted to the existing hard standing using chemical resin, or toggle anchors, depending on the surface type.
All cladding on Aganto structures slots easily into channels that are engineered into the framework of your building to avoid the need for multiple fixings.
