An industrial loading canopy is a durable, weatherproof structure designed to provide covered loading, unloading, and storage space, protecting goods and operations from the elements. ### Can the canopy be attached to my existing buildings? Yes, our canopies can be linked to your existing warehouse of facility, creating seamless extensions for loading and storage. ### Do we need planning permission? Generally, if the canopy is going to be in place for more than 28 days and the footprint bigger than 100m2, planning permission will need to be obtained. There are multiple other factors, such as exemptions and retrospective applications, to consider too. Understanding the process can also help speed things up, and knowing about regulatory differences in Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland may also be beneficial. All of this is covered in our [comprehensive blog series. ](https://www.spaciotempo.co.uk/news-insights/a-guide-to-temporary-building-planning-permission) ### How long will an industrial canopy take arrive and install? Our process means we manufacture in house and by virtue, control our own supply chain to deliver solutions in shorter timescales. Generally, from order to delivery it takes around 6-8 weeks for our expert operations team to be on site. The install process is always much quicker than a traditional building but depends on the size and complexity of the structure. For example, a small standalone industrial canopy can be installed in a single day, a standard off-the-shelf temporary warehouse in less than a week and a bespoke and heavily customised temporary building up to a few months. ### Can the canopy be relocated or removed? Yes, our industrial canopies are modular and can be dismantled, relocated, or expanded to suit changing business needs. Play ## See our industrial canopies in use.
