Agriculture

Ceiling height and the design of interior walls are adjusted based on the dimensions and functional requirements of the equipment and machinery, including the necessary space for operation and maintenance, to ensure optimal usability and efficiency inside the building.

We integrate features such as effective ventilation, insulation, and natural light into our buildings to create a healthy and safe working environment for people and a comfortable living environment for animals, promoting well-being and productivity.

At Hallgruppen, we tailor our agricultural structures to meet the specific needs of modern farming. For efficient storage of machinery and grain, we implement design solutions that optimize the use of available space and facilitate handling processes. In addition, the design often includes large doors for easy access with machinery and vehicle flows. By customizing every aspect of the building’s design to the functional requirements of agriculture, we ensure that our structures contribute to the efficiency of work processes and the protection of both machinery and resources.

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!

The price depends on the structure’s size, intended usage and expectations (driving the specifications) and factors like site conditions. For example, adjusting to a slope, increased insulation or customising the design will affect the price. In general, it’s more economical to build a longer lower structure versus a wider taller one. All of our products come at a competitive price with speedy delivery though. We’re happy to provide a free quote quickly.

Of course! The structures and buildings can be purchased outright, leased or rented. An advantage of renting a fabric covered structure is the flexibility to be able to dismantle and relocate or return the structure without any unnecessary investment. Contact us for more information!

The delivery time for our temporary buildings and fabric covered structures is very short. We keep many of our ranges in stock and can therefore deliver within a very short time span – just a few days usually for standard specs/sizes. Please contact us and we will let you know the delivery time for your requirements.

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

Assembling a fabric covered building is usually quick. The assembly time depends on the size, type, specification, complexity and type of surface for the structure. For example a PVC-only covered small aluminium frame structure on flat concrete will be just a day or two, but a large all-steel composite panel exterior structure adjusted to gradients will take weeks. We will provide an estimate of the assembly time along with the quote.

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!

The hard standing surface should preferably be level and able to support the weight of the structure. A newly laid foundation should also have a moisture barrier to prevent water ingress. But we can install structures on most surfaces; there are many variables and considerations though so an understanding of the details is best – let’s talk!

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.

A temporary structure can withstand very strong winds because the strength is in the frame and our stcutures are designed according to the relevant Eurocodes (Building Regulations) which includes calculations for snow, wind and anchorage.

Yes, the fabric covered structures are CE marked. We are certified in accordance with EN-1090, which refers to load-bearing components. Companies that manufacture load-bearing components (Truss parts) with Eurocode dimensions must be certified with EN 1090. As a certified manufacturer, we issue declarations of performance and CE marks, which certify that our products meet these standards.

In our experience, fabric covered structures suffer few break-ins, but they are not completely theft-proof, even with steel walls and roller doors etc. Of course alarm / monitoring systems can be installed.

An industrial building is quite a generic term, but ours are built with a steel or aluminium frame, with steel sheet or composite panel walls and PVC canvas or steel roof. Our industrial buildings are often used for production and manufacturing industries and are flexible in terms of being modular and easily lengthened or shortened. Contact us for a free quote!

Various design choices can affect the price of an industrial structure including size, fittings/features, site conditions and customisations. We need to understand your situation and expectations to properly calculate a price. But in general, it’s more economical to build a long lower structure than a taller wider one. All of our products come at a competitive price with speedy delivery though. And we’re always happy to provide a quick estimate.

The price depends on the size of the warehouse and your specific requirements. For example, adjusting to site conditions and customising the design will also affect the price. In general, it’s more cost-efficient to build long warehouses instead of wide ones. All of our products come at a competitive price with speedy delivery though and we’re always happy to provide a quick free estimate. Accurate quotes come from a detailed understanding of your situation, requirements & expectations.

The best way to find out is to contact your local council, but yes, a small structure away from your boundary comes under Permitted Development, although precise rules differ with region. We can take care of the entire process if you prefer, but if you manage it yourselves we’ll provide the necessary drawings and documentation. Contact us for more information!

Hallgruppen industrial buildings are certified according to the EN-1090 standard, which refers to load-bearing components. This means that the quality of the manufactured products has been independently checked by an expert third party.

The EN-1090 standard covers all aspects of production, from material selection to final inspection. As a certified manufacturer, we issue declarations of performance and CE marks.

There are many factors that influence the cost of building a sheet metal structure, such as: project size and complexity, equipment, snow load calculation, and customisation. In order to generate your quote, we need more information about your requirements. In general, it can be said that it is more cost-efficient to build long instead of wide because steel frames with a smaller span are cheaper models with a larger span. We are happy to provide a free quote and you are always welcome to contact us with any questions.

Our steel buildings are a cost-effective choice versus conventional options. The price of a steel building depends on including size, fittings/features, site conditions and design choices. For example, adjusting for a very windy location or needing an irregular shape/size will affect the price. But we guarantee a competitive price, quick delivery and a robust, long-lasting construction that can be used for almost any purpose. We’re happy to provide a free quote and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
