Typical uses for PVC halls and canopies

Truss-frame arched hall

A truss-frame arched hall is especially suited to storing equipment and production supplies and to sheltering various materials, such as:

• Weather shelter for equipment – tractors, trailers and other vehicles, for example, can be kept protected from rain and snow.

• Storage for production supplies – suitable for industrial and agricultural storage needs.

• Winter storage for boats – the spacious hall makes it possible to protect boats during the cold season.

• Semi-heated production space – the hall can be insulated and fitted with heating, making it suitable as a production space.

• Livestock loose-housing barn – provides animals with shelter from bad weather conditions.

• Drive-through weather shelter for heavy vehicle fleets – allows easy drive-in and drive-out for trucks and machinery, for example.

• Grit and salt storage for road maintenance – ensures that maintenance supplies are protected and easily available during the winter season.

Truss-frame gable-roof hall

Gable-roof halls have a wider frame and suit larger storage needs. The halls' clear wall height can be adjusted to the customer's needs. Typical uses are:

• Larger-scale storage – suitable for storing large quantities of raw materials or wide product ranges, for example.

• Semi-heated production space – a thermally insulated hall can be used as production space.

• Winter storage for boats – offers plenty of room even for larger boats.

• Riding arena – a PVC hall can be turned into an excellent riding arena.

• Weather shelter for sports facilities – can be used to cover sports fields or pitches, for example.

• Ice rink hall – also excellent for ice sports.

PVC canopy

PVC canopies are truly versatile solutions and provide good protection for various supplies and equipment. The most common uses are:

• Equipment shelter – suitable for tractors, cars and other vehicles.

• Sales warehouse – as a storage solution for building-supply and hardware stores.

• Agricultural machinery store – provides shelter for agricultural machinery and production supplies.

• Storage for industrial production supplies – for the interim storage of production supplies and of finished products.

• Bulk storage – built on concrete elements and fitted with partition walls, it can be used to store various component batches, for example.

PVC doors

PVC doors are a convenient, cost-effective solution as basic doors or for separating spaces from one another.

• As doors for cold spaces – suitable for cold storage halls, for example.

• As a space divider wall – makes it possible to divide large halls or storage spaces into smaller sections.

Rental halls

Rental halls are a good option when short-term storage or shelter space is needed, for construction and agricultural use, for example. These halls are used, among other things, for:

• As a temporary industrial production space – suitable for temporary production needs or seasonal storage, for example.

• For seasonal agricultural use – enables the temporary storage of grain, feed or agricultural machinery, for example.

Small arched-hall canopies without a building permit

Arched-hall canopies under 50 m² (W7.3m L6.0m) are especially popular thanks to their easy installation and exemption from building permits. Typical uses are:

• Storage – suitable for all kinds of small-scale storage.

• Pasture shelter for animals – can be used as a weather shelter for cattle, sheep or horses on pasture.

• Equipment canopy – provides shelter for tractors and other vehicles.
