The workshop tent is an enclosed working area where maintenance, repair, assembly or technical service work can be done protected from rain, wind and sun. It differs from a warehouse tent in that people work inside it all day. So we set the size according to the work to be done and the equipment to be used.
What is it set up for?
We set up the workshop tent as a maintenance, repair and service area, for on-site assembly, for temporary production and as an equipment store. For teams working in the field, the workshop may have to move with the job. That is why the galvanised steel frame and PVC tarpaulin are prepared so that they can be dismantled and re-erected on a new site. We describe the wide-span models used for ship maintenance areas on the shipyard tent page.
The work itself sets the size
We make workshop tents in widths of 6-25 m and heights of 3-8 m. If a vehicle or a large part will go inside, the door and the interior height are chosen to suit it. The layout of benches and machines sets the width, and the work flow sets which side the doors open on. So a workshop built to service a vehicle and one used for assembling parts can end up very different in size.
We set the wind and snow load by structural calculation for the installation site. If the tent is moved, the ground and load of the new location are checked again.
Working conditions inside
A workshop that will also be used in winter needs insulation. A double-layer membrane or panel insulation keeps the temperature inside steadier and cuts energy loss if the space is heated. We describe the options on our insulated warehouse tent page.
On request we supply DIN 4102 B2 (normally flammable) PVC tarpaulin. The test report from our supplier Kaya Plastik rates the tarpaulin as DIN 4102-1 class B2. A summary of the report is on our documents page. If welding, cutting or grinding will be done inside, tell us at the quote stage.
B2 tarpaulin is a normally flammable material; if work that throws sparks will be done in the tent, occupational safety measures must be planned separately.
We quote the price for each project, according to size, tarpaulin weight, insulation and structural load.
