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:

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.

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.

Insulated Buildings

Uninsulated Buildings

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.

Testimonials

Read what our customers have to say

From the very beginning, the team was extremely professional and full of knowledge of the HR Structure product range. Very quickly we were able to identify the type of building we require. Originally, we had specified a corrugated building however, when we saw the quality of the HR Structures, the decision was made to change. As well as the quality, the fact the structures are modular allows us to modify these in the future as we grow. The supply of quotations and drawings was timely, including additional information requests to support the planning process.

HR were great to deal with from start to finish, from our original remit through to handover of the building HR were professional and efficient. Our project was delivered on time as promised.

HR Structures have provided us with a great product and great service on more than one occasion. We wouldn’t hesitate in using them for our next project and we would always recommend them to anyone looking for a quality product from a professional team.

I would highly recommend HR Structures. A team of professionals you can trust. Fast, reliable and helpful. I've used HR Structures for a temporary building which is now used as a Warehouse, great choice.

Just reaching out to you to say that we were very happy with the service you provided with our temporary warehouse. The product and fitting team were excellent and worked well alongside our colleagues. I would also like to thank you for coming over and fitting the missing gutter stop ends and making sure the project was finished, personally which was a great piece of customer service. I would highly recommend HR structures and your team to anyone who is thinking of erecting a warehouse now or in future.

We engaged HR Structures to supply two temporary structures at our Tamworth depot and were thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the equipment and the professionalism of the service provided. The entire process was efficient, reliable, and delivered to a high standard.

I have worked with HR Structures on a couple of projects and have found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful with the ability to achieve tight deadlines.
