When space needs arise unexpectedly — or permanent construction isn’t practical — temporary structures offer a fast, cost-effective, and highly adaptable alternative. From transforming outdoor pools into enclosed leisure areas to creating pop-up offices, retail environments or educational spaces, temporary structures are helping organisations across the UK move quickly and stay flexible.
At Four Seasons Marquees, we specialise in the design, supply and installation of high-quality temporary buildings. Our clients range from schools and retailers to healthcare providers, construction firms and public sector bodies — all benefitting from the speed and flexibility of our marquee structures.
We currently serve businesses and institutions in London, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, and throughout England and Wales.
What Are Temporary Structures?
Temporary structures are modular, freestanding buildings constructed from high-strength aluminium frames and weather-resistant PVC or tensioned fabric. They’re suitable for both short-term and long-term use, and can be installed on a wide range of surfaces, from concrete and tarmac to grass or gravel.
Unlike permanent buildings, these structures require minimal groundwork, offer rapid deployment, and can be reconfigured or relocated as your needs evolve. And thanks to their modular design, they’re highly customisable — from the size and layout to access points, insulation and interior fit-out.
Why Choose a Temporary Structure?
- Rapid installation – Most structures are up and operational within days
- Cost-effective – Avoid expensive leases, build costs or permanent expansion
- Flexible and scalable – Easily adapted, expanded or moved as your requirements change
- Weatherproof and secure – Designed to handle the British climate, safely and compliantly
- Tailored to your use case – Office? Classroom? Leisure space? We’ll make it fit for purpose
✅ Planning permission made simple
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a temporary marquee or structure under permitted development rights. Where projects extend beyond the typical timeframe or become more permanent, retrospective planning can be applied for.

How Our Clients Use Temporary Structures
1. Temporary Offices and Commercial Workspaces
Need a functional workspace fast? A temporary structure can serve as a fully operational office — complete with lighting, power, heating, partitioning and more.
We recently provided a temporary office marquee for Toyota, working with their franchise dealerships Group 1 Automotive and Inchcape. Our bespoke design offered a professional, comfortable environment during dealership renovation works — delivered on time with zero operational downtime.
2. Pool Enclosures and Leisure Facilities
Outdoor pools lose value in the off-season — but with a high-spec temporary enclosure, leisure venues can operate year-round. Our pool enclosures are designed to include clear window panels, heating, lighting and ventilation for a premium indoor experience.
3. Education and School Use
Schools, colleges and universities are increasingly using temporary structures to meet fluctuating demand or bridge the gap during renovations. Common uses include:
- Additional classroom space
- Dining halls or common rooms
- Exam and assembly areas
- Secure storage for equipment or furniture
- All our educational structures meet UK safety regulations and can be adapted to suit safeguarding, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards.
4. Retail, Markets and Hospitality
From seasonal events to pop-up shops and market stalls, temporary buildings offer commercial flexibility without compromising on presentation.
Take our farm marquee for pumpkin season — designed as an all-weather retail and visitor space, complete with custom entrances and internal zoning for stock and footfall management.
5. Healthcare and Public Sector
During times of high demand, local authorities and NHS providers turn to temporary structures for rapid, safe deployment. These include:
- Testing or vaccination centres
- Temporary consulting or triage spaces
- Overflow capacity for surgeries or community venues
- Shelter and welfare zones for public events
We’ve supported councils and care providers across England and Wales, delivering compliant, weatherproof spaces quickly and reliably.
