Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about our halls.

What is the lifespan of the tent fabric?

The technical lifespan of the fabric is approximately 25-30 years.

Can the PMH Hall be insulated?

The PMH Hall can be insulated to great effect. See Climathall.

Is a PMH Hall burglar-proof?

The fabric does not provide any significant protection against break-ins. If you do not have a fenced-in area, we recommend a Combihall with sheet metal cladding on the sides.

Is it possible to open up the entire side of the PMH Hall?

The long side cannot be opened as the frame comes down here. This is possible on the gable end. See Protecthall.

How do I clear snow from a PMH Hall?

The roof should not be accessed without appropriate safety equipment that is securely anchored. If in doubt, seek professional assistance. Contact our installation/service department by phone at 0411-13800.

What maintenance requirements does a PMH Hall have?

Maintenance is minimal on a PMH Hall. The fabric tensioning technology with tensioning screws means that retensioning is rarely necessary. However, after a storm, you should check that the wind braces are still tensioned.

Is a building permit required for a storage tent, plastic hall, or tent hall?

- If you are located within a detailed planning area, a building permit is required. We can assist you with drawings and other documentation required for the building permit application. - You can find certified inspectors in your area on the Boverket website.

Can moisture-sensitive materials be stored in a storage tent?

There is a risk of condensation in all cold storage facilities, so we recommend that the warehouse be dehumidified when storing moisture-sensitive materials. See Dry Air Storage.

Why choose a PMH Climathall over other insulated storage tents?

We install the insulation on the inside! With the insulation on the inside of the frames, it is better protected and retains its insulating function. Insulation placed on the outside can be compressed by snow loads and lose its insulating capacity. Ours does not. Our insulation on the inside will not be destroyed if an accident occurs and you get a hole or tear in the fabric. If the insulation is placed in the outer fabric, water (entering through the damaged fabric) will get into the insulation and significantly reduce its insulating capacity. Ours does not.

Is installation included?

Installation is always included and is carried out by professional, trained installers.

What is required for the foundation/base of a storage tent or tent hall?

Normally, an asphalt surface is what we need to anchor the storage hall. It can also work on a well-compacted gravel surface. We would be happy to visit you to inspect the conditions.
