The first step is to decide between a modular warehouse and a conventional construction structure.

  • Modular warehouse: These are prefabricated, modular, expandable structures that are easy to install, with lower costs than permanent constructions.
  • Conventional construction: Permanent structures built in a single location, ideal when a definitive installation is required.

Types of modular warehouses

At Okatent, we offer different models of modular warehouses for every need, manufactured to measure and with high quality standards:

Modular warehouses by frame type

The modular warehouse is a prefabricated structure with anodized aluminium pillars and tensioned fabric roofing. These pavilions are manufactured with customized dimensions and accessories, but the frame shape follows established designs:

  • Gable-roof modular warehouses: These are the standard structures par excellence, with a two-slope roof that allows water and snow to drain very easily. Their design is the most widely used and therefore the easiest to adapt to almost any space. Gable-roof warehouses are commonly used for industrial storage and as demountable structures for travelling events.
  • Curved-roof warehouse: Curved roofs are highly resistant structures, ideal as fixed or mobile tents. Their design offers the greatest visual impact once installed, thanks to the curved shape of the frame. These types of tents are commonly used to cover padel courts and for all kinds of events.
  • Single-slope roof: Single-slope structures can be installed as a standalone module or attached to an existing structure. This type of warehouse is ideal for expanding existing spaces instantly and without construction work.
  • Polygonal frame structure: Polygonal warehouses are perfect if you need to gain height or cover large spaces, as the polygonal design allows for the largest dimensions. This type of structure is commonly used for multi-sport courts and industrial workshops.

Modular warehouse models by size

MegaTent structures are large-scale systems designed to cover wide spaces and reach impressive heights, with widths exceeding 50 meters.

This modular warehouse stands out for its majestic design and its exclusive aluminium lattice profile, which ensures safety and stability in large spaces. In addition, it offers multiple enclosure options for roofs and sides, from simple membranes to pressurized solutions, trapezoidal sheet metal or sandwich panels, allowing the structure to be customized according to the specific needs of each project.

Its versatility is reflected in its ease of installation on different types of terrain, adapting to any environment, and it also offers financing, leasing, or rental options to facilitate the implementation of the project.

On the other hand, AustralTent structures are characterized by their simple modular design and the total customization they offer thanks to their square profiles.

This model adapts to any size and environment, making it an economical and efficient option for covering any space.

The AustralTent allows you to choose between different enclosure options for both the roof and the sides, which results in an excellent price per square meter thanks to a standardized and highly efficient manufacturing process.

Its flexible design makes it possible to create gable frames, as well as polygonal or curved designs, adapting to the specific requirements of each project.

Finally, the EasyTent model is designed for those looking for a quick and simple solution.

With a lighter structure and reduced dimensions, EasyTent can be manufactured and installed very quickly, making it easy to cover spaces without complications.

At Okatent, we offer various roof and side enclosure options that allow these modular warehouses and demountable pavilions to be adapted to the needs of each project, complemented by financial solutions that make their acquisition easier through leasing or financing.

Each of these models has been designed to offer customized and adaptable solutions, ensuring that any space is transformed into a functional and aesthetically attractive environment.

Modular warehouses by use:

Tensioned structures have multiple applications, from an industrial warehouse to a covered padel court.


Below, we outline the most common uses and the type of modular warehouse best suited for each case:

  • Modular warehouses for industrial storage: Polygonal or gable-roof pavilions with side walls made of sheet metal or sandwich panels.

  • Pavilions for padel courts: A curved or polygonal structure is recommended, with micro-perforated fabric to prevent glare.

  • Tension structures for play areas: The best option is a tensioned roof designed using the most innovative patterns of textile architecture.

  • Roofs for music events: If you are looking for a pavilion that stands out, we recommend a curved pavilion or a gothic pavilion.

  • Tents for weddings and other activities: For exclusive events, we recommend a gable-roof tent with a transparent roof.

  • Demountable cabins or portable buildings: Lightweight pavilions with single- or double-slope roofs are ideal for covering small spaces.

  • Multipurpose mobile warehouses: For temporary storage, we recommend gable or curved structures with standard dimensions and without fixed side panels.

  • Cantilever structures for space expansion: In this case, the best option is a single-slope pavilion, ideal for attaching to an existing structure.

  • Hangars for commercial aviation or rescue operations: Gothic-style pavilions are ideal for aircraft and helicopter garages due to their great height and wide span.

  • Tensioned structures for covering terraces: For bars and hotels looking to increase customer traffic, tensioned fabric roofs are the best solution, designed specifically based on the patterns of textile architecture.

Essential aspects when choosing a modular warehouse

Before choosing a demountable pavilion, we recommend considering a series of key aspects that can help you make the most appropriate decision:

  • If you want to expand an existing building, a single-slope roof is the best option.
  • For sports facilities, a polygonal structure is recommended because the height and dimensions of the tent allow the official court measurements to be respected.
  • Modular pavilions can be expanded even after they have been installed.
  • Curved pavilions have a very aesthetic visual appearance, which makes them ideal for hosting events of all kinds.
  • For permanent installations, it is necessary to prepare the ground where the structure will be fixed.
  • The production and installation time depends on the size of the structure and the level of design customization.
  • For industrial roofs, rigid enclosures made of sandwich panels or trapezoidal sheet metal are recommended, as well as automatic sectional doors.

All Okatent structures include a wide range of accessories that allow each pavilion to be customized, such as climate control, lighting, flooring, windows, and more.

Environmental impact, sustainability, and regulations

Demountable pavilions offer both ecological and legal advantages compared to traditional constructions:

  • Lower environmental impact: They do not require deep foundations or large volumes of concrete, generating less waste and reducing the ecological footprint.
  • Reuse and recycling: Their modular design allows them to be dismantled and reused in different locations, minimizing material waste.
  • Energy efficiency: Possibility of integrating solar panels and thermal insulation systems to optimize energy consumption.
  • Regulatory flexibility: In many cases, they do not require building permits, as they are considered temporary structures. However, it is advisable to verify local regulations and ensure compliance with safety and structural resistance standards.
