Tent-covered storage from a kit

What the system works out

You choose the kit type, a width from the manufacturer's range, the length, the tent fabric, the anchorage and any extra gates. The system shows:

- the kit price: two ends with one gate and as many bays as your length needs;

- the length is rounded up to a whole number of bays, because the kit is sold in bays;

- the number of base plates under the columns and gable posts, and the anchorage: anchors into concrete, ballast blocks or concrete pads;

- the assembly hours by floor area.

Prices come from public seller price lists including VAT; assembly and transport are not included.

Aluminium or tube kit

- The aluminium keder kit (10–20 m wide, 5 m bays) is meant for long-term use. The tent slides into grooves in the profiles.

- The light tube kit (9–12 m wide, bays of about 3 m) is much cheaper but meant for seasonal storage. The snow load the sellers declare (80–100 kg/m²) is below the Lithuanian zones, so in winter the snow must be cleared or the tent taken down.

Anchorage and status

- Only the anchors hold a light hall against wind uplift. A structural engineer chooses the number of anchors, the ballast mass and the foundations; we found no norms for the holding capacity of stakes and ballast, so the system shows them as unverified rules.

- Stakes or ballast instead of foundations do not change the hall's status. A hall that loses its purpose when dismantled is treated as a structure, and its structure group and permits apply.

- A temporary structure needs the same permit with a period of use. It is not entered in the real estate register, and when the period ends the hall must be dismantled.
