When do you need it to be operational?

It may surprise you that we put time first, but we know that for many industrial clients the lead time for the execution or installation of an industrial tent is key.  Can you wait months or maybe even more than a year for it to be operational? Or do you need it in a few days or weeks because an eventuality in your business requires that space and you can use it almost immediately? A removable industrial tent can be operational in a short time. This is one of the great advantages of industrial tents. Whether it is an industrial tent for storage, for production inside, as an exhibition and sales space or for other uses.

Dimensions and type of use: consider your needs when choosing an industrial tent.

What size tent do you need? You will have to take into account both the available space to install it and what you require for the works or uses that are going to take place in it.  The type of use is decisive as it influences many choices for a removable industrial tent to be functional and practical for that required use. Do you need it to have a certain door height so that certain vehicles can access it? Do you need it to be able to keep the stored goods in a certain range of temperatures? Do you need it to have natural lighting during the day? Being clear about what you need makes it much easier to make good decisions when choosing an industrial tent for your business.

Budget and the decision to buy or rent.

Let's start at the beginning and before looking at the price of an industrial tent, start by establishing your budget. In any business it is essential to know what budget you have. It doesn't mean that you have to choose the one that covers it all, but you will know how far you can go and how far you can't exceed it.  A good choice must be functional, of course, but also profitable. At VALL we offer you financing facilities by Renting, Leasing or Amortization. Deciding whether you want to buy the tent or rent it is another decision you must make, taking into account its cost, your budget and the forecasts you have for your company and its future needs.

Characteristics of the structure.

This is a key point when considering how to choose an industrial tent. The dimensions and height of the building, the fact whether it is an open space or a space with columns, or the climate of the area (if it is an area with heavy snowfall or frequently subject to strong winds) determine on a technical level what type of structure is appropriate. How much weight should it support? What level of resistance should it offer?  This determines which material (aluminium, steel) and which thickness of the structural elements is suitable. In these questions, professional advice from one of our sales staff will help you, as they know the considerations to be taken into account and the optimum choices in each case.

Climatology and use: keys to choosing the type of roofing and enclosures for an industrial tent

The location of the industrial tent and its use are determining factors in the choice of the characteristics of the roof and side enclosures.  Climatology of the area. You must choose a solution that can withstand the onslaught of the weather in perfect conditions: cold, heat, rain, snow and wind, mainly. There are different materials and weights or thicknesses for the roof of an industrial building that make it more or less suitable for each case. Energy efficiency: comfort and savings in heating or air conditioning costs. Which roofing choices are the most suitable to guarantee a space that is maintained in an adequate temperature range? This is especially important in an industrial storage tent where goods have rigorous storage temperature requirements. And in a removable industrial tent for production where you are working with high precision machines that are vulnerable to high temperatures. Natural light. In the end, it is a great saving in electricity supplies, if the type of use means that with good natural light during the day, the functionality of the tent is maintained. Need for insulation. Some uses require total insulation, and this determines the characteristics of the roofs and enclosures required for the prefabricated industrial building.

Consider what accessories the removable industrial tent requires for your business.

The choice of accessories is an important part of choosing an industrial tent. In some cases they can advise on other choices to determine what is or how is the right tent for the business. For example, if you require loading bays for an industrial storage tent and the right type of access to make the building operational.
