Many of our customers use our canopies as multifunctional spaces on-site. Think, for example, of a covered workspace, storage area, or temporary shelter. On construction sites, such a structure is often called a “saw shed,” but in practice, the applications are much broader.

Especially when working outdoors year-round, it’s a great advantage to be able to work and store materials in a dry and sheltered area.

In this blog, we’ll show you even more ways our customers are using their canopies.

1. A covered workspace

Many of our customers work outdoors at temporary locations, for example in construction or infrastructure projects. A shelter allows employees to perform tasks like sawing or assembling in a dry environment. That’s why shelters in construction are often called “saw sheds.” Once the work is done, the shelter can be easily disassembled and rebuilt at the next location.

2. A bunker silo for bulk materials storage

Any goods stored loose and unpackaged, so-called bulk materials, can be stored under a shelter. Think of soil, gravel, sand, road salt, pellets, wood chips, or harvested crops such as grain or potatoes.

A bunker silo is easy to build yourself. You create two long walls using concrete blocks, optionally with a back wall. One or more shelters are mounted in a row on the walls. If needed, concrete slabs can be laid on the ground, and your bunker silo is ready for use.

When building a bunker silo, be sure to consider the fixed width dimensions of our models listed on the website: 8, 10, 12, or 15 meters. Need a shelter in a different size? That’s also possible, read more about it here. In terms of length, you can place multiple shelters in a row to reach any required length.

5. A carport or vehicle shelter

Parking your vehicle with an open cargo bed under a shelter means the load stays dry. This saves time and effort, you don’t need to unload and reload your items every day just to keep them dry. Container or bunker silo shelters are also great as storage solutions. Whether it’s a classic car, motorcycles, a boat, a caravan, or a camper, these vehicles need a covered "winter sleep''. Shelters with front and rear walls offer the necessary protection against the elements.
