Can't see your question answered?
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. Alternatively, you can book a free site visit and one of our temporary warehouse experts will help you design a temporary warehouse that makes the most of your available space.
How quickly can a temporary warehouse be installed?
Unlike permanent warehouses, which can take months to plan and construct, temporary warehouse solutions provide rapid installation to expand your storage space quickly. 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.
