Portable Building Sales Launches Temporary Warehouses For Construction & Industry

Portable Building Sales (PBS), has launched a new range of temporary warehouses to support the growing space demands of the UK construction, industrial and logistics sectors.

Built using robust steel portal frame buildings, the new temporary warehouse solutions provide a fast, flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional warehouse construction. They are available for both short-term hire and permanent purchase, making them suitable for a wide range of project requirements.

Meeting the demand for fast, flexible space

Across the construction and industrial sectors, businesses are under increasing pressure to adapt quickly. Tight project timelines, seasonal demand, planning restrictions and rising construction costs are making it harder to commit to permanent buildings.

PBS's temporary warehouses are designed to bridge this gap, allowing businesses to add secure, weatherproof storage or working space in a fraction of the time required for a conventional build.

"These buildings are ideal for companies that need space quickly, without long lead times or major groundwork," said Andy Cottam, Sales Director at Portable Building Sales. "They provide a practical solution for short-term projects, site expansion and overflow storage, while still offering the strength and durability expected from a steel building."

Built using steel portal frame technology

Each temporary warehouse is constructed using steel portal frame systems, engineered to deliver large clear spans and open internal layouts. This makes them particularly well-suited to construction sites, manufacturing environments and logistics operations where flexibility is essential.

Key features include:

• Wide-span steel frames with open internal space

• Fast flat-pack delivery and on-site installation

• Customisable layouts, doors and cladding

• Weatherproof and secure construction

• Minimal groundwork requirements

• Scalable designs that can be extended or adapted

These features allow businesses to create functional warehouse space without the disruption or cost of permanent construction.

Suitable for multiple sectors

While designed with construction in mind, PBS’s temporary warehouses are already proving popular across a range of industries, including:

• Construction – on-site material and equipment storage

• Manufacturing – additional production or storage space

• Logistics and transport – overflow warehousing and depots

• Agriculture – seasonal storage for machinery and feed

• Aviation – hangar-style covered storage

Rather than replacing large distribution centres, the buildings are aimed at small to medium-scale operations that require flexible, practical space.

Hire or purchase options available

Portable Building Sales offers its temporary warehouses on both a hire and purchase basis, allowing customers to select the most suitable option for their project timescale and budget.

Whether required for a few months or as a long-term solution, each warehouse can be configured to meet site-specific needs, including optional insulation, access doors and modular office add-ons.

Online configurator for fast quotations

To simplify the specification process, PBS has introduced an online configurator, enabling customers to design their warehouse layout and request a quote in minutes. Users can select dimensions, doors, roof styles and cladding before submitting their design for pricing.

This digital tool provides clarity at an early stage, helping businesses plan their space requirements more efficiently.

As the exclusive UK partner of European manufacturer J.Snoei B.V., PBS supplies proven building systems supported by UK-based teams.
