Portable buildings and sheds are versatile structures that provide additional space and storage solutions for various residential, commercial and industrial needs. They come in a variety of types, sizes and designs, each serving specific purposes.


You may think of portable buildings as small and windowless enclosed spaces for storing tools, seasonal decorations and other items that may not fit in your home. But portable buildings can be much more than that. Yes, your portable building can be as simple as a small shed, but it can also be a larger space with windows and even a covered porch.


With Bestway Portable Buildings Inc., you can have your unit custom built to meet your unique needs and preferences.


Storage Sheds


Storage sheds are one of the most popular types of portable buildings. They are designed to store and organize items such as garden tools, outdoor equipment, bicycles and seasonal decorations. These sheds often feature durable materials, secure locking systems and customizable storage options.


Garden Sheds


Garden sheds are specifically designed for gardening enthusiasts. They provide a dedicated space to store gardening tools, potting supplies and equipment. Garden sheds may also have additional features like workbenches, shelves and windows to create an ideal environment for planting, potting and maintaining plants.


Workshop Buildings


Workshop buildings are larger portable structures designed for DIY enthusiasts, craftsmen and hobbyists. They offer ample space to set up a workshop area, whether for woodworking, metalworking or other creative pursuits. Workshop buildings typically feature sturdy construction, ample lighting, electrical outlets and sometimes plumbing.


Office and Studio Spaces


Portable buildings can be transformed into comfortable office or studio spaces. These structures provide a quiet and separate area to work, study or pursue artistic endeavors. They can be customized with insulation, windows, temperature control systems and electrical outlets to create a productive environment.


Livestock Shelters


For agricultural purposes, portable buildings like pole barns are often used as livestock shelters. These structures provide protection and shelter for animals, such as horses, cows, goats and chickens. They can be designed with proper ventilation, feed storage and partitions to accommodate different livestock needs.


Garages


Larger portable buildings can be used to store vehicles like cars, trucks and tractors. These buildings are designed to accommodate the size and weight of vehicles, providing adequate space for maneuvering and parking. With sturdy construction and durable materials, such as steel frames and reinforced walls, these larger portable buildings offer enhanced protection against the elements, vandalism and theft.


Temporary Housing Units


In emergency situations or during construction projects, portable buildings can be utilized as temporary housing units. These structures offer quick and flexible accommodation solutions for displaced individuals, construction workers or event attendees. Some custom buildings can even be equipped with basic amenities such as beds, bathrooms, kitchens and heating or cooling systems.


Retail and Vendor Booths


Portable buildings are often used as retail or vendor booths at markets, fairs and events. These structures provide a portable and customizable space for selling products, showcasing merchandise or offering services. They can be branded and fitted with display shelves, counters and signage to attract customers.


Classroom and Education Spaces


Portable buildings can serve as temporary or permanent classrooms for schools, colleges and educational institutions. These structures help accommodate growing student populations or facilitate construction projects without disrupting the learning environment. They can be equipped with desks, chairs, whiteboards and technological infrastructure.
