Hire or Rent: The Smart Way to Scale Without Commitment
If your business needs to react to a sudden surge in demand, purchasing a structure isn’t always the most efficient move. Tents and Events offers a flexible rental model that allows you to secure extra space in days, not months.
Get Extra Space in Days
We hold a comprehensive range of rental stock across our regional branches. This local availability means hiring a temporary building is quick, easy, and reliable. Whether you need instant storage, a manufacturing annex, or a dedicated warehouse, we provide the hardware and the expertise to make it happen fast.
Why Hiring is the Popular Choice:
Zero Capital Expenditure: Avoid a massive upfront “Commitment to Buy.” Hiring keeps your capital liquid and off the balance sheet (OPEX), allowing you to invest in your core business.
Rapid Deployment: We can have your space up and running in as little as five days from your initial inquiry.
No Hidden Costs: Forget expensive architects, long-term consultants, or civil engineering fees. Our turnkey hire packages are transparent and all-inclusive.
Total Flexibility: As your contracts change, so can your space. When you no longer need the structure, we dismantle and remove it without a trace
Compare Your Options: Rental vs. Traditional Lease
Most businesses only look at the monthly rent. However, traditional commercial leases and permanent builds carry “sunk costs” that a Tents and Events rental completely eliminates.
| Cost Element | Traditional Commercial Lease | Tents and Events Rental |
| Upfront Capital | 3–6 Months Deposit + Legal Fees | Zero Deposit / Pay-as-you-go |
| Planning & Legals | £5,000 – £15,000+ | Minimal / Expert Support Included |
| Business Rates | Immediate & Permanent | Often Exempt (Short-term use) |
| Maintenance | Full Repairing & Insuring (FRI) | Included in your Hire |
| Exit Strategy | Dilapidations & Legal Notice | Simple Off-hire & Dismantle |
Our industrial structures are engineered for both short-term relief and long-term use. While they are "temporary" by name, they are built with high-grade aluminum and galvanized steel, meaning they can remain in place for several years as a semi-permanent fixture of your site.
Do I need planning permission for a temporary industrial building?
In many cases, structures under 200m² can be installed for up to 28 days without formal permission. However, for long-term use or larger footprints, planning permission is typically required. The good news? Local authorities generally view temporary structures favorably because they are non-permanent. Tents and Events can provide the necessary technical drawings and specifications to support your application.
Yes. One of our biggest advantages is flexibility. We can install on:
Concrete & Tarmac: Using industrial resin anchors or bolts.
Hardcore & Gravel: Using heavy-duty steel stakes.
Uneven Ground: We utilize a leveled sub-frame flooring system to create a flat internal workspace even on sloping sites.
Our structures are not "tents"—they are modular buildings designed to meet British Safety Standards (BSEN1991) for wind and snow loading. This ensures they remain stable and safe even in exposed locations or during heavy Scottish winters.
