What are temporary storage buildings?
If you are looking for a quick and easy solution to increase storage space, look no further than a temporary building! Temporary only by name; they are de-mountable, modular structures that allow you to easily add extra space in pretty much any environment or location.
Temporary buildings are quick to install and are being used by a growing range of sectors, including; manufacturing, retail, logistics, industrial, education, commercial, agriculture, and sporting venues for additional on-site storage capacity. They are semi-permanent, ultra-durable structures with a long lifespan of in excess of 20 years.
A temporary warehouse building from Field and Lawn can be installed on almost any ground surface, without the need for foundations. Furthermore, they are tough, durable and designed for all year round use, providing the perfect solution for your temporary warehousing requirements. Therefore, a temporary building provides a compelling alternative to costly and time consuming traditional buildings. They also offer many advantages to renting storage space off site
Types of temporary warehouse buildings
There are many types of temporary warehouse buildings, the three most popular solutions include:
1. Insulated buildings:
If you have a sensitive storage requirement or will have members of your team working from the warehouse, an insulated building will provide high levels of comfort.
2. Industrial buildings:
Often, these warehouse buildings are constructed using steel sided panels, these storage sheds are robust and cost effective. An industrial temporary building can be customised with lighting, bespoke roller shutters doors, security systems and more. They make for great workshops and industrial storage solutions.
3. Industrial warehouse canopy:
Industrial canopies are useful structures that can firstly help the loading and unloading operation, linking into an existing warehouse. Alternatively, if you need extra storage space for pallets or a lay-down area, an industrial canopy will give you everything you need.

What are the main differences between a temporary warehouse structure and a fabric structure?
A storage marquee does share some similarities with a temporary building as they are easily installed, removed and relocatable. That’s where the similarities end.
A temporary building is hardwearing, long lasting, highly durable structure. Temporary buildings can be in place for up to 50 years. The structure is assessed by engineers to ensure wind and weather loading to provide a long-term solution. The key differences include:
Material: Marquees are typically made of fabric or other flexible materials, while temporary buildings generally have insulated steel clad sides with additional insulation in the roof. A range of doors, glazing and heating and cooling options can be installed in a temporary building.
Size and shape: Temporary buildings can be larger and more customisable in terms of size and shape, with multiple access and security options, including wide, secure roller doors. Due to their modular construction, additional space can be seamlessly integrated into a temporary building.
Functionality: Temporary buildings can be used for a variety of long-term purposes. This includes warehousing, secure and ambient storage, office space, classrooms, event spaces, and click and collect facilities, due to their enhanced durability and security.
Why choose a temporary building?
A temporary building will give you much more than a typical storage container could ever provide. Our temporary storage buildings can be:
> Fully insulated delivering U-Values as low as: 0.18 W/m²K
> Temperature controlled or refrigerated
> Custom designed with glazing, roller shutter doors, loading canopies, link corridors and more
> Fully fitted and partitioned for offices , meeting rooms and everything in between
A temporary building can be completely specified to your exact requirements, including; data connections, CCTV, internal/external lighting, alarms, access systems, flooring, glazing and racking.
