Types of modular demountable pavilions
Modular halls are versatile and efficient solutions that adapt to a wide variety of needs. From storage and construction to sports and events, these halls offer unmatched flexibility compared to traditional construction sites. In this article, we will explain what they are, the different types that exist and why modular pavilions are an increasingly popular option.

What is a modular demountable pavilion?
First of all, let’s explain what modular demountable pavilions are and then understand what types of pavilions exist. A modular demountable pavilion is a prefabricated structure that is easily assembled and disassembled depending on the client’s needs. These pavilions are made up of a metal structure, usually made of steel or aluminium with special alloys, and a stretched membrane that covers the roof of the building. The main advantage of these pavilions is their quick assembly and the possibility of being transported and reused in different locations.
“Modular pavilions are an alternative to conventional construction pavilions thanks to their flexibility, speed and cost.”
Types of modular pavilions according to their use
Depending on the purpose and the sector in which they are used, there are different types of modular dismountable pavilions. Below, we show you the most common ones:
- Industrial Pavilions: Ideal for storage and logistics. These types of modular pavilions are usually large in size. Their interiors are open-plan, without central pillars, to maximize their capacity. In addition, they have a robust design and accessories adapted to withstand extreme uses. See more about industrial pavilions
- Sports covers: Perfect for covering sports facilities such as paddle tennis, football or horse riding courts. They have a 100% customized design that adapts to sports courts to guarantee the best playing conditions. See more about sports covers
- Aviation hangars: Highly recommended for the storage and maintenance of all types of aircraft. Okatent’s prefabricated hangars are characterized by having large spans and adaptable accesses to facilitate the entry and exit of aircraft. By the way, from October 23 to 24, 2024, we will be at the MRO Europe fair at the Fira de Barcelona. We look forward to seeing you!
- Agricultural warehouses: Highly in demand for storing crops in season and storing machinery. The main characteristics of these pavilions are their durability, ventilation systems and ease of relocating them once the season is over.
- Event tents: Mainly used by tent rental companies or event organizers for fairs, exhibitions or celebrations. This type of temporary tent is characterized by its quick assembly and customization.
Types of modular covers according to their size and structure
Modular pavilions are also chosen based on their capacity, as this determines the design of the profiles, anchors and other construction factors. For this reason, at Okatent, we have created three models of pavilions based on their size and structure:
- Mega Tent Pavilions: These are large-scale buildings for projects that require a large coverage capacity. These buildings are usually for fixed or long-term uses, such as a gigafactory or a club with more than 6 paddle tennis courts. Pros: They are dazzling pavilions with premium finishes. Cons: Being larger, the manufacturing time is longer. Here you can see more about Mega Tent structures Here you can see more about Mega Tent structures
- Austral Tent Pavilions: Austral Tent buildings are medium-sized structures, with standard designs that adapt to any need, offering versatility in different sectors. Pros: Their price/quality is unbeatable. Cons: The design can be more austere. Here you can see more about Austral Tent structures
- Easy Tent Pavilions: This product is designed for temporary projects that need to cover small spaces. They are ideal for projects that require speed and ease of installation. Pros: They are economical. Cons: They are lightweight structures. Here you can see more about Easy Tent structures.

Types of modular buildings depending on their portico
Another way to classify modular pavilions is according to the type of portico they use. These variables, although apparently aesthetic, also have a practical reason. Here we show you the portico designs that we make at Okatent:
- Single-pitched roofs: These are pavilions designed with a single slope. This type of pavilion is ideal for small spaces or for extensions of existing spaces. See more about single-pitched roofs
- Gabled buildings: This type of pavilion has a standard roof with two slopes. This design provides great performance against any inclement weather. See more about gabled ships
- Polygonal structures: Polygonal buildings are widely used in industrial environments, this design is ideal when you want to reach the greatest height. See more about polygonal structures
- Curved and vaulted pavilions: These are roofs with very attractive and efficient designs. Currently, these roofs are the flagship of large pavilions See more about curved pavilions
Types of prefabricated structures based on their accessories and finishes
Finally, you can choose a modular pavilion based on its customization. The accessories and finishes of a structure can determine the difference between one type of pavilion and another. Here are some of the most important ones:
- Pavilions according to the type of roof: You can choose a translucent roof to take advantage of natural light, opaque membranes to protect you from light or pressurized to guarantee thermal and acoustic insulation. In addition to the type of membrane, there are also roof finishes without overhang or with overhang for greater protection.
- Pavilions according to the style of side enclosure: The removable modular pavilions differ from each other depending on the sides. The pavilions can have no sides, with folding curtains and also with a fixed enclosure with trapezoidal sheet metal or sandwich panel.
- Pavilions according to the type of fixings: The type of anchoring of the building also determines the type of pavilion. There are fastening systems that require foundations and others that can be adapted according to the type of terrain and building permits.
- Pavilions according to their accessories and extras: A modular pavilion can change a lot depending on its customization: The color of the canvas, the lighting or air conditioning, the access doors, the solar panels and the signage, are some of the main accessories in the Okatent portfolio.
Competitive advantages of modular pavilions
In addition to the types of modular pavilions, it is also interesting to know the main advantages that prefabricated structures have over other types of construction:
- Quick installation: They can be assembled in a matter of days, saving time and costs.
- Versatility: They adapt to different sectors and needs, whether for temporary or permanent use.
- Flexibility: They can be dismantled and reused in different locations.
- Reduced cost: Compared to traditional constructions, modular pavilions are cheaper.
- Sustainability: Being reusable, they generate a lower environmental impact.
In short, we can conclude that there are multiple variables when choosing one type of pavilion or another. Therefore, after informing yourself and having an idea of the flexibility that these types of modular solutions offer you, we recommend that you put yourself in the hands of an expert team, such as that of Okatent, who can advise you in a personalized way.
