EASY DOES IT

Your smartest site shelter by a long stretch

When you need a top-quality, covered on-site space for meetings, for a site office, lunch break space, or staff get-togethers. PortaSpan is the revolutionary solution, that we can dispatch to you within a week of your order.

Rapid installation

The name pretty well sums it up. PortaSpan’s extra heavy-grade galvanized steel frame is designed to span between two portable buildings, including popular brands like Castle, Crown, Cube, Portacom and Rhino. They all love PortaSpan because it does zero damage to their buildings. No welding, drilling or bolting to the buildings is required. Instead, PortaSpan uses a unique mounting beam and ratchet tensioned system – all engineered to the current Building Code.

The ultra-strong SmartShield ripstop fabric covering is then tensioned across the steel frame. Job done.

Fast and easy to put up
Don’t need consent
Easy to transport & relocate
Use on multiple projects
Alternative is a timber structure that is not engineered certified and which can’t be re-used.

SELF ASSEMBLY

PortaSpan gives you extra portability

PortaSpan is made for easy portability. Unlike traditional timber framed site-compound structures, you re-use it across multiple sites, which saves you time and keeps your money firmly in your pocket. You can speed up your setup because you can do the installation and relocation yourself. You’ll be working smarter, sooner. PortaSpan’s clever design makes it a breeze.

Get into a comfortable space

Speaking of ‘breeze’, PortaSpan allows in plenty of fresh air, staying cool in summer. Your people will love it, and it gives them all-weather protection all year round. No matter how you look at it, PortaSpan is a far better hassle-free option than spending your time knocking up an expensive lean-to steel roof.

Sizes

When it comes to getting the right size, we offer two standard sizes to choose from. Custom sizes are available on request.

4.0m wide x 6.0m long
5.6m wide x 6.0m long

We only offer one colour, white, because it helps keep your costs in check for a seriously clever, top-quality solution. White also allows in plenty of natural sunlight that minimize the need for extra lighting.
