Demountable industrial canopies.

HTS Industries clients have used industrial canopies as logistics depot extensions, lorry loading bays, recycling and sorting centres, covered sports courts, extra storage warehouses and even heavy-plant maintenance garages.

The metal framework is made from high-grade extruded aluminium and is corrosion-free. Connecting framework pieces are made from hot-dip galvanised steel for high durability and strength. Our roofs consist of durable PVC covers or trapezoidal sheet steel.

Many of our clients have benefitted from our industrial canopies for decades with minimal maintenance required. Replacement roof covers, frame components and accessories can be provided to help maintain a long lifespan if required.

HTS offers semi-permanent structures in clear-span widths between 5 m and 40 m, with side heights of 3.2m to 7.2m. The length of the structure can be as long as you want it to be, rising in 5m increments.

Yes. Our state-of-the-art production facilities in Kefenrod, Germany allow us to manufacture custom products should your requirement not fit our standard framework sizes. Smaller bay sizes, along with specifically designed span widths, can be manufactured to suit your space down to the millimetre.

Our range of industrial lightweight canopies and buildings can be installed on most hard-standing surfaces. We can supply a suitable fixing for almost all ground conditions, after consultation.

Often, yes. In England, a canopy on an existing industrial or warehouse site can count as permitted development, but only within strict limits on floor space, height and distance from the boundary. Many industrial canopies are too large to qualify so planning permission is often needed. Rules vary between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and some local authorities remove permitted development rights altogether. Always check with your local planning authority before committing to an installation.

Many industrial canopies take between 3 and 5 days to install, but large structures may take up to 10 days. As our canopies can be placed straight onto hard ground, there is no specialist groundwork required, meaning you can avoid the delays foundation work often brings. Your HTS project manager will give you an estimated timescale before installation begins.

Yes. Thanks to the modular design of our framework, canopies and temporary buildings can be extended or made smaller with ease, with the purchase of further extension bays and cladding.

HTS loading bay canopies come in clear-span widths of 5 metres to 40 metres with no internal columns to obstruct vehicles. Length is unlimited and increases in 5 metre increments. Our side heights run from 3.2m to 7.2m, making it easy to accommodate double-deck trailers.

Yes. The UK team works nationally for sales consultations and installations from our base in Camberley, Surrey. Having installed over 500 structures across the length and breadth of the UK over more than two decades, HTS Industries has a wealth of knowledge in installing across the British Isles.

Yes — our modular canopies can be linked to each other as well as to an existing, traditionally built warehouse. Please contact the team to discuss further.

Yes. Thanks to the modular framework, you can add side walls to an HTS industrial canopy at a later date, whether for one wall or several. Our options include durable PVC covers, corrugated steel sheets and insulated sandwich panels. Enclosing a canopy may change its planning or building regulations status, so check with your local authority first.

In many cases, yes. In England and Wales, temporary structures that stay in place for less than 28 days are exempt, as are some small ground-level extensions such as covered yards under 30 square metres. Most industrial canopies tend to be larger than this and stay in place for long periods, so building regulations approval is normally required. This is the case whether the canopy is attached or freestanding. Different rules apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so always check first.

The cost of an industrial canopy is generally determined by:
• Its span and length
• Side height
• Roof type
• Side walls
• Ground fixings
• Whether you hire or buy
At HTS, our hire contracts have a minimum period of two years. External finance is available too if preferred. To get an idea of price, you can begin the design process in our configurator or get a free quote from our team.

Sometimes, but only in limited cases. A short-term installation of 28 days or less may not need permission. In England, a canopy on an existing industrial or warehouse site can also count as permitted development if it meets the permitted development rules for industrial and warehouse buildings. These include limits on floor space and height, with at least 5 metres kept clear from the site boundary. You also cannot reduce the space available for turning or parked vehicles. Rules in conservation areas and other designated land are even tighter, and permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building. It is important to remember that being demountable does not automatically exempt your canopy from the rules. Speak to your local planning authority for full clarity.
