A fabric covered structure is often used as a temporary or semi-permanent buiding with a wide variety of uses, but most often storage. The fabric covered structure can be covered with technical textile, sandwich panels or steel sheets, all of which can withstand poor weather and strong winds. The main advantages of a fabric covered building are the low cost, flexibility and speed of delivery, including customisation to meet the needs of any business. Our design can also be very energy efficient, making them a cost-effective option for businesses that need to store large quantities of goods. Contact us for more information!

Yes! We are happy to assemble your structure. Assembly is always carried out by professional and experienced fitters.

Yes, you can heat and insulate a temporary building! By using the right insulation and heating methods, you can keep the fabric covered structure warm and comfortable throughout the winter. Hallgruppen offer considerably better insulation meaning it’s easier and cheaper to maintain the required working temperatures. Structures can also be equipped with various options such as air heat pumps.

Whether or not a building permit is required depends on your project – and your location (different rules for different parts of the UK). The best way to find out is to contact your local council but we can also advise and, if you wish, manage the entire process. If you manage it yourself we’ll help with drawings and documentation required. Contact us for more information!

Fabric covered structures have a lifespan of several decades as the frames are made of high-strength steel or high quality aluminium. The life expectancy of the technical textile is shorter though, around 25 to 30 years (Hallgruppen offers thicker stronger PVC), but can be easily replaced if the need arises. All our products are entirely compliant with the relevant Building Regulations.

A fabric covered structure requires very little maintenance. However, for best practice, it could be periodically checked for loose or damaged seams, tears or slits in the fabric, or any signs of moisture/water ingress. And an annual check of gutters (if fitted) is very sensible to things working well – leaves will build up. We offer a service and maintenance contract if you’d like us to check & maintain.
