Storage tent

Our storage tents are a flexible solution for both industry and warehousing, with customizable options, a wide range of accessories, and over 45 years of experience resulting in more than 3,000 tent halls delivered.

What is a storage tent?

A storage tent is a storage facility with a column-free surface constructed from a steel frame and PVC-coated polyester fabric. Storage tents can be designed and used for various purposes, such as storage, bulk storage, or as a temperature-controlled environment for sensitive materials. A major advantage of a storage tent is that it is more cost-effective than a traditional warehouse building and can be assembled more quickly.

Size

Width

To meet your storage needs, we offer storage tents in several different sizes and configurations. Our storage tents are available in a wide range of standard widths, including 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, and 40 meters. If you need a storage tent with a width greater than those included in our standard range, please contact us and we will help you find a solution.

There are no restrictions on length, and we can tailor the storage tent to your needs in multiples of 4 meters.

Height

The storage tent is designed with an arched structure, which means that the height varies. The height is highest in the middle and lower at the sides. The governing height is the free height at the side of the truss. At PMH-Hallen, we adapt the height of the storage tent to your specific needs and requirements.

For example: if you need to be able to tip machines in the storage tent used as bulk storage, or if you need to be able to load pallet racks at height. Together with you, we ensure that the height of the tent meets your requirements and needs.

Renting a storage tent offers several advantages, including flexibility in terms of usage time and adaptation to needs. Renting eliminates the need for large capital investments and maintenance costs. In addition, renting a storage tent can be cost-effective for temporary or short-term projects and allows you to try out and adapt the size and equipment before making a possible purchase.

Is an insulated storage tent suitable for storing moisture-sensitive materials?

Yes, an insulated storage tent is very useful for storing moisture-sensitive materials. The insulated design helps to control humidity levels and reduces the risk of condensation, which in turn protects moisture-sensitive materials and preserves their quality. By creating an environment with stable temperature and humidity levels inside the storage tent, you can safely store materials that are sensitive to moisture and avoid potential damage or deterioration of the material. An insulated storage tent is therefore an excellent solution for ensuring that your moisture-sensitive materials are stored under optimal conditions.

How much does a storage tent/warehouse tent cost?

The price of a storage tent is influenced by several factors, including the size of the tent, geographical location, customizations and special features, equipment and accessories, as well as assembly and installation. The size of the storage tent plays a role, as larger tents require more materials and labor. Geographical location can affect transportation costs and any permits that may be required. Customizations and special features may incur additional costs. Equipment and accessories included can also affect the price. Finally, the cost of assembly and installation can vary depending on the complexity of the project.

Is it possible to heat and insulate a storage tent?

Yes, it is possible to heat and insulate a storage tent. The inside of the tent can be lined with an insulated inner fabric that is attached to the inside of the tent frame. This provides a reliable solution that maintains its insulating function. An insulated storage tent is perfect for storing and protecting goods from temperature variations and moisture, which is crucial for preserving the quality and shelf life of the goods. The insulated inner fabric helps maintain a consistent temperature and prevents condensation, reducing the risk of damage to the stored products. By heating and insulating the storage tent, you can create an optimal environment to ensure that your stored goods remain high quality and are protected from adverse weather conditions.

Is a building permit required for a storage tent?

When installing a storage tent within a detailed planning area, a building permit is normally required. There are different types of building permits depending on whether the storage tent is temporary or permanent.

Once the building permit has been granted, we can also assist with consultation prior to technical consultation and inspection prior to the final decision to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Our goal is to make the building permit process as simple and efficient as possible for our customers when installing a storage tent.

Why is it important to know the snow load zone when purchasing a storage tent?

Knowing the snow load zone when purchasing a storage tent is crucial to ensure that the structure is adapted to withstand the snow load that may occur in the geographical area. The snow load zone defines the maximum amount of snow that is expected to fall on an area during a given period of time. By taking the snow load zone into account, we can choose the right dimensions for the storage tent and its structures to guarantee safety and stability.

Why choose an insulated storage tent?

Choosing an insulated storage tent has the advantage of allowing you to control and maintain a stable temperature inside the tent. This helps to protect the stored goods from temperature variations and moisture, which is crucial for preserving the quality and shelf life of the goods.
