The team behind Globotent

Real people. Real buildings.

Behind every clear-span building is our own installation team — from the first steel arch to turnkey handover. No long chain of subcontractors, just hands that know what they're doing. These pictures are straight from our sites across Europe.

Technical knowledge

What you should know before buying a shelter

Snow load by zone

Across Europe snow load varies from 0.4 kN/m² (coastal) up to 4 kN/m² (Alpine > 1500 m). As standard we exceed 2.2 kN/m². For exposed locations we reinforce the structure.

Planning permission

As temporary structures (no foundation), our shelters usually only need a building notification to the local authority. The exact requirement depends on the council and zoning plan.

PVC tarpaulin: 750 vs 900 g/m²

750 g/m² is the agricultural standard, good for a 10–15 year service life. 900 g/m² is the industrial grade, recommended for high wind exposure or intensive use.

Ground anchoring

For firm ground: bolted 60 cm ground anchors. For soft or sandy ground: special anchors or partial concrete pad at load-bearing points.
