We tailor our temporary warehouses to your business needs and sector, from logistics and industrial manufacturing to retail and beyond.

Temporary warehouses can help your business maintain operational efficiency even in busy periods. With optimised storage space for your goods, stock is protected and your business can continue to meet customer expectations without compromise to product, delivery or site space.

Seasonal overflow

Seasonal overflow

Overflow storage provides companies with a flexible and cost-effective solution to house excess inventory. Whether you need extra space to navigate seasonal fluctuations, unexpected surges in demand, or supply chain disruptions, a temporary warehouse is a quick solution without the long-term commitment or cost of permanent facilities. 

By easing pressure on existing facilities, overflow storage helps maintain operational efficiency, protect stock quality, and ensure businesses can continue to meet customer expectations without compromise.

Temperature control

Temperature-controlled warehouses can be essential for preserving perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products. Temporary cold storage warehouses offer a fast, scalable solution for businesses needing to protect product quality during storage.

With our HVAC systems and insulated cladding, Aganto's flexible structures create secure storage for temperature-sensitive goods. This allows your business to meet customer demands with confidence.

Construction materials

Construction materials

Utilising temporary warehouses for construction material storage offers a secure, on-site solution for protecting vital equipment, tools, and materials throughout your latest project. Temporary warehouses provide the flexibility to store everything from heavy machinery to high-value construction supplies right where they’re needed, reducing transport times, minimising risk of theft or damage, and improving overall efficiency. 

Whether it’s a large infrastructure development or a smaller commercial build, having dedicated, weather-protected storage ensures smoother operations, better inventory control, and helps construction teams stay on schedule and budget.

Indoor temporary warehousing

Indoor temporary warehousing

One way to create a bespoke space for your business without extending your current space is to install a temporary building within an area of your existing warehouse. This approach can significantly enhance your operational capabilities.

At first glance, the idea of constructing a building inside another building might seem unusual. However, this concept can provide your business with numerous advantages, particularly when it comes to maximising your existing space. For instance, a temporary structure can serve as additional storage space or create specific areas with temperature and humidity control, essential for certain products or processes.

Agricultural solutions

Agricultural solutions

Agricultural storage provides farmers and agribusinesses with a flexible, weather-protected solution for housing crops, feed, fertilisers, and machinery throughout the year. 

Temporary warehouses help safeguard valuable assets against the elements, pests, and spoilage, ensuring products maintain their quality until they’re ready for distribution or use. Whether supporting seasonal harvests, equipment maintenance, or long-term supply management, agricultural storage structures offer an adaptable, cost-effective way to improve operational efficiency and protect the heart of a farming business.

What is classed as a ‘temporary’ warehouse?

Simply put, a temporary warehouse is a prefabricated modular structure designed to be installed quickly and easily. They can often be used as an alternative to permanent structures without needing groundworks or permanent foundations.

What sizes do temporary warehouse buildings come in?

Our warehouse structures come in 5 m multiples, with standard sizes ranging from 5 m to 30 m wide and 4.2 to 6.2 m high. Additionally, we can offer bespoke temporary warehouse solutions with unlimited lengths that help you maximise your storage space—extending your current warehouse. We can also link to existing or temporary structures as needed. Download our spec sheet here for more details.

Do I need planning permission for a temporary warehouse?

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

How much stock can a temporary warehouse hold?

The capacity of your warehouse depends on the size of the structure. A standard 15 m by 30 m building with a height of 4 m will give you around 1,800 m3 of storage space. If you need help working out how much storage space you need, why not take a look at our latest blog here.

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

Can temporary warehouses store temperature-sensitive goods?

Absolutely! At Aganto, we offer a variety of HVAC solutions tailored to meet your specific requirements. We can even provide professional installation and maintenance services. When specifying your temporary warehouse, you can choose varying levels of insulated cladding for when the temperature inside your warehouse needs to remain warm or cool, creating the perfect environment in which to store your goods. Read more about our HVAC and insulation options.

How long can I leave my temporary warehouse in place?

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

What surfaces can temporary warehouses be built on?

One of the great advantages of temporary warehouses is that they can be built on any hard surface, including concrete, tarmac, and hardcore. Furthermore, they require minimal groundwork, which can save you time and money on installation.
