GS338017 10 x 24.40 m storage tent

The design and durability of a tent warehouse.

The **GS338017** storage tent has been designed for maximum strength and stability. Its structure is based on a galvanised steel truss frame, which is resistant to corrosion and weathering. The steel tubes, 48 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm thick, from which the arches and purlins are constructed, form a stable skeleton on which the entire structure rests. Thanks to the use of a double truss system, this tent offers increased resistance to wind and snow loads.

The maximum wind load the structure can withstand is 80 km/h, making the tent resistant to strong winds. An additional advantage is that the tent can withstand a snow load of 0.28 kPa, making it suitable for year-round use, even in winter, provided that accumulated snow is cleared regularly.

Functionality and applications

The **GS338017** storage tent has been designed with a variety of uses in mind. Thanks to its dimensions and durability, it is ideal as a storage space on building sites, where it can be used to store building materials, tools or machinery. It is also an ideal solution for farms, where it can be used to store agricultural equipment, seeds or animal feed. In industry, this tent can be used as a temporary warehouse, particularly in situations where additional storage space is needed quickly. Assembly of such a storage tent takes approximately 3–5 working days, depending on its length.

It is worth noting that a 10-metre-wide storage tent is fitted with wide, liftable doors measuring 4x4 metres, which allow vehicles to drive easily into the tent. These doors are operated by a winch, allowing them to be opened and closed quickly and conveniently. This is an important feature, particularly in places where frequent movement of vehicles is required, such as forklift trucks, agricultural machinery or lorries.

Ease of assembly of the storage tent

One of the key advantages of the **GS338017** storage tent, measuring 10x25 m, is its relatively easy assembly, which can be carried out independently, provided the relevant safety rules are followed. Each component of the tent structure is marked with a unique code, which makes it much easier to identify during assembly and eliminates the risk of errors. In accordance with the enclosed assembly instructions, it is recommended that the tent be erected on a firm, level surface. To ensure maximum stability of the structure, it is recommended that concrete foundations be laid for the support posts.

It should also be borne in mind that the tent should be erected in favourable weather conditions. Erection is not recommended during strong winds or on waterlogged ground. It is also important that the ground anchors, which stabilise the tent, are driven into the ground at the correct angle, which will prevent them from being accidentally pulled out during use.

Weather resistance

The GS338017 gable-roofed storage tent has been designed for long-term use in harsh weather conditions. The tarpaulin covering the roof and side walls is made from durable PVC fabric with high resistance to mechanical damage, UV radiation and moisture. As a result, this tent is ideal both in summer, providing protection from the sun and rain, and in winter, offering protection from snow and wind. An important part of maintaining adequate protection is regular maintenance and inspection of the tarpaulin, as well as ensuring it is properly tensioned using the supplied transport straps.

It is recommended that during the winter, when temperatures drop below 10°C, the tarpaulin should be stored indoors at a higher temperature before assembly. Otherwise, the material may be damaged during unfolding. 

Practical tips for using the tent warehouse

The GS338017 storage tent has been designed with durability and functionality in mind; however, to make the most of its potential, it is worth following a few guidelines for use. First and foremost, the owner should regularly check the anchoring, particularly after strong winds. Securing the structure to the ground is crucial for its stability, so it is important to check at least once a month that the anchors have not come loose.

Another important aspect is ensuring the tarpaulin is properly tensioned. If the tarpaulin is too loose, so-called ‘hammocks’ or ‘pockets’ may form, which negatively affect the stability of the entire structure. Regularly tightening the tarpaulin, especially after several months of use, is essential to ensure adequate protection against rain and wind.

You should also avoid storing heat sources in direct contact with the tarpaulin, as this can lead to damage. Heating appliances should be kept at least 2 metres away from the tent structure. In the event of severe storms or hurricanes, it is recommended that the roof covering be removed immediately to prevent damage.
