Applications - Vehicle Workshops
Temporary Workshops and Vehicle Storage Buildings
- More affordable than traditional, permanent structures
- Ready for use within a few days
- Sturdy buildings withstand high winds and show loads
- No special ground preparation required
- Can be enlarged, reduced, or relocated
Typical uses:
- Vehicle maintenance and servicing
- MoT Stations
- Vehicle Storage
- Vehicle wrapping and painting
- Car customising and modifying
Aluminium framed semi-permanent buildings are ideal for use as secure automotive workshops. With wall heights up to 8.3m, vehicle ramps and lifts easily fit inside. Shutter and roller doors accommodate cars and vans, and with insulated versions, mezzanines and first floor offices can be included.
Designed for both short-term or long-term use, temporary workshops provide ideal working space for automotive preparation, repair, servicing, modifying and storing.

Temporary Workshops
Our Temporary Vehicle Workshop Designs
Canopy workshops
Used where weather protection and fast vehicle access are the priority. Open sides allow easy manoeuvring of vehicles while keeping work areas protected from the elements.
Non-insulated workshops
Provide enclosed, secure working space at ambient temperatures. Suitable for vehicle storage, maintenance and repair work where full temperature control is not required.
Insulated workshops
Used where staff work inside the building for extended periods, or where stable internal conditions are required. Suitable for classic or high value vehicle storage, vehicle wrapping and automotive bodyshops.
Selecting the right structure type at the outset ensures the workshop performs effectively both now and as operational requirements change.
The Benefits of Our Modular Vehicle Workshops
Aluminium-framed temporary workshops are nearly always less expensive to design and build than the equivalent traditionally built permanent structures.
Our modular buildings are designed with clear spans and no internal support columns, providing open space for moving, working on and storing vehicles.
With planning permission in place, our aluminium framed vehicle workshops can be erected in just a few days.
Walls up to 8.3m high allow access for larger vehicles and installation of vehicle lifts, roller shutter doors and tall shelving.
Cantilever span from 5m to 30m
Wind and Snow Loads
Wall heights up to 8.3m
Infinitely expandable building length
Ground anchoring with and without foundations
Bespoke building sizes and equipment
Automotive Workshops for a Wide Range of Uses
Semi-Permanent Vehicle Workshops
- Overspill from existing repair facilities for cars, vans and motorcycles as required.
- Bodyshop vehicle repairs with paint spray booths and controlled environments.
- Vehicle valeting, custom wrapping and detailing for showing at exhibitions and car events.
- Vehicle photography where backgrounds and lighting need to be controlled.
- Classic car restoration and preparation for concourse events and shows.
Modular Vehicle Storage Buildings
- Storing excess inventory or vehicles awaiting repairs at car dealerships when existing space is occupied or after damage caused by flooding or fire.
- Vehicle hire for storing vehicles securely when not out for rent.
- Fleet management companies often have to move vehicles around between sites and need space for maintenance or secure storage.
- Private garages which rent space to DIY mechanics and owners of classic cars.
- Event organizers use temporary buildings to house vehicles hired out for weddings and other events, and vehicles used in TV and film productions.
