Modular canopy buildings for covered space, storage, and site operations are offered by Australian Temporary Structures. While permanent buildings are suitable for long-term usage, there are many situations in which covered space is required more immediately.
Modular canopies are a fast, flexible, temporary or long-term alternative for many covered space requirements.
Modular canopy shelters are commonly used by logistics providers, manufacturers, construction sites, trucking yards, warehouses, and a host of other industrial and commercial businesses. The structures can be installed in a matter of days and are available in a range of configurations and bay sizes.
What is a Modular Canopy?
Modular canopies are large-span canopies that have been designed to provide sheltered spaces to protect people, goods, vehicles, and plant from the weather. Although they provide covered space, modular canopies are very different from traditional permanent structures. They comprise a strong aluminium or steel framed structure which supports a durable canopy roof.
Optional features such as walls, windows, and bi-fold doors can be incorporated into the structure, and the bay configuration can be changed to suit the end user’s requirements. Modular canopies can be used for short-term or long-term usage.
Where Can Modular Canopies Be Used?
Modular canopies can be used for a wide range of purposes. The most common uses for modular canopies are:
-
Loading bays and dispatch areas
-
Weatherproof loading areas
-
Vehicle cover for trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles, and other fleet vehicles

Why Choose a Modular Canopy?
A modular canopy is an excellent choice for many businesses where a permanent building would be too time-consuming to construct.
Even if a permanent building is within budget, there are many situations in which a modular canopy will be the better choice. Typically, these are situations where covered space is required to support a particular process or workflow.
By providing open-sided or enclosed canopies, modular structures offer a fast and flexible alternative for a host of industrial, commercial, and civil uses.
Modular Canopies for Overflow Capacity
Modular canopies can be used to increase the capacity of an existing warehouse or storage facility. They are commonly used to handle pallets, hand pallets, drums, boxes, and general items of plant, equipment, and tools. By providing extra covered storage capacity, a modular canopy can relieve pressure on existing storage capacity.
Overflow capacity is often needed to handle increased levels of business activity such as during peak periods, in response to changes in supply or distribution chains, or in response to projects and one-off jobs.
Where seasonal variations in demand create increased storage requirements, modular canopies can be installed for a short period, then removed and stored for re-use at a later date.
Weatherproof Loading Bays and Vehicle Cover
Loading and unloading goods can be a slow process if it has to take place in open weather. With the risk of goods being damaged by weather, modular canopies are a cost-effective solution for creating covered loading bays and vehicle access points.
Loading bays can be created for container trucks, semi-trailers, general trucks, prime-movers, buses, and a host of other types of vehicles.
Modular canopies can be used for truck shelters, fleet vehicle shelters, forklift shelters, and to provide shade for other types of plant and equipment.
Canopy Shelters
Canopy Shelters for Maintenance Bays and Equipment Protection
Industrial and civil sites often require covered areas for maintenance, repairs, and general maintenance of equipment and machinery.
Modular canopies are often used to create sheltered areas where plant, equipment, and vehicles can be inspected, serviced, and repaired.
The shelters can be configured to house large pieces of equipment or complex machinery, or as general equipment shelters.
Covered Stockpiles and Temporary Storage
Modular canopies can be used for covered bulk storage of materials such as sand, aggregates, timber, piping, plant, equipment, and general materials and supplies. They can be used as temporary or long-term storage facilities for goods in pallet form or in bulk.
Canopies can be configured as open-sided structures or with partial or full walls. Partial walling can be used to provide some protection from the weather while maintaining access for forklifts and other plant.
