I guess the answer to this is wherever you need space to operate your business which is an insecure location and vulnerable to either vandalism or break-in.
Typically, construction sites where the site is unsupervised overnight and there is the need to protect valuables such as expensive tools, maybe sites that are accessible to young vandals seeking to express their frustration or an on-site office that needs to be robust enough to deter opportunistic theft.
They are also becoming popular as security storage units – there is a growing trend to acquire and locate several cabins and offer the space for rent to individuals and businesses seeking a secure place for valuables that may otherwise be exposed to pilfering.
So, I would argue that the description should actually be Anti-vandal and Security cabins, they certainly offer much more than vandal protection for sure!
Whatever is driving the need for secure space you can be sure that an Anti-vandal cabin sourced from a reputable supplier will do the job.
Here at GCS we have been supplying them across the UK since 2007 and have seen great progress in ensuring they stay impregnable and fit for purpose.
We have supplied them in all types of shapes and sizes to suit the needs of our clients but one thing that is common is the steel construction. We recommend 1.5mm corrugated or flat sheet steel for walls and roof on a steel box section floor. All doors are constructed from steel with 10 locking points for ultimate protection and whilst you can have as many windows as you want, we will provide lockable steel security shutters to ensure your windows are not a target for the local tearaway’s. All makes for a better night’s sleep!
Beyond the recommended material specification for the shell the rest of the design detail is down to you, it’s your building, you’re in charge, your decision.
You choose – overall size, number and size of windows, double glazing, heating, paint colour, lighting, toilets, showers, kitchen, air-conditioning, alarm systems – you get the idea, whatever you want, if someone supplies it we’ll fit it – internally and externally you decide.
However, we are always happy to share our experience & knowledge to advise and recommend, we may even have some great ideas that you hadn’t even thought of.
What you can be sure of is that once we understand what you need the space for and your budget, we will work with you to ensure you get the best building possible for that budget and that every penny is wisely spent.
Finally, we recognise that sourcing a portable building can be daunting so we are here to help and happy to manage the process from start to finish and handle the issues a complex project can throw up, offering a complete turn-key package if required.
