White 8x8ft open-fronted steel smoking shelter set up in a car park

8x8ft Temporary Smoking Shelter

Hire From £30.

A designated smoking area is one of those things facility managers have a duty to provide, and this is the low-fuss way to do it. The shelter is an 8x8ft container-style unit, all steel from the frame to the chequer-plate floor, which keeps it robust and keeps the fire risk down - there's nothing on it to burn.

Inside there's a shelf ledge to lean on and a built-in, easily emptied ashtray, which keeps cigarette ends in one place instead of scattered round the fire door. The open front and window openings keep the air moving while the roof keeps the weather off.

It sits on skids, so it can be forklifted or craned into position on any flat hard standing - the gallery photos show ours in place in the car parks of a working site. Hire starts from £30 a week on a 52-week term, with other durations available, a minimum hire of 6 weeks, and transport charged on top. We sell them too.

Hire terms

The headline price is per week on a 52-week hire, and shorter terms are available with a minimum hire of 6 weeks. Transport is additional and depends on where the shelter's going, and since it's lifted into place, access for the delivery vehicle is worth checking early.

You can hire or buy, and if the site needs more than a smoking shelter - fencing, barriers, lighting or heated marquees - tell us the whole requirement and we'll quote it as one job.

Common questions

How is the shelter placed on site?

It sits on steel skids, so it's lifted into position by forklift or crane onto flat hard standing - a car park bay is the classic spot. It needs no foundations and can be repositioned later if the site layout changes.

What's the minimum hire period?

Six weeks. The headline weekly rate is based on a 52-week hire, and shorter terms are priced accordingly, with transport charged on top. It's a semi-permanent unit rather than a weekend hire.

Why steel rather than a plastic or canvas shelter?

Steel doesn't burn, which matters for a structure whose whole job is containing lit cigarettes - and it stands up to years outside without maintenance. The built-in ashtray also empties easily, keeping ends off the ground.
