Pubs & beer gardens
Pub tents & beer garden shelters, specified for year-round trade
Pubs.
A beer garden or terrace is trade, not decoration. The right structure keeps tables full through a shower in June and a cold snap in November — specified to the pub, not dropped in as a generic marquee. LP Tent shelter, ballasted for hard standing, with Rex Nordic heating to keep the terrace paying its way once the clocks change.
The pub case
A covered terrace only pays its way if people will sit under it. Get the structure right and outdoor tables trade through a shower in June and a cold snap in November, not just the handful of fine evenings the forecast can't promise — done properly, it reads as part of the pub, not a marquee bolted onto the yard. For a terrace that stays up all season, the GP range brings a venue-grade anodised finish built for a fixed installation, not a frame that's spent its working life on the back of a van; where the space has to flex around event weekends or a summer-only extension, the XP range folds down between uses, with a sliding-wall system that keeps branded panels taut instead of flapping. Wind ratings are stated per range, honestly: 40mph on the entry Alu45, 60mph on CO, XP, ZP, Pagode and GP, correctly anchored. Most beer gardens and terraces are hard standing, so anchorage means ballast on each leg, not digging into the yard — see the anchorage guide for the specifics.

Heating the terrace
Cover keeps the rain off the tables; heat is what keeps them booked once the sun drops or the clocks go back. Rex Nordic climate control is sized to the enclosed volume of your terrace, not guessed from the floor plan, so the warmth is even instead of one hot spot under a patio heater. Diesel infrared works off-grid where there's no power run to the yard; electric infrared is the quiet, clean option wherever mains reaches the space. Either way, the result is the same: covers stay profitable when the clocks change, instead of the terrace quietly closing itself down for the winter. See the heating range.
FAQ
Do I need permission to put a temporary structure in my beer garden?
It depends on where the structure sits. On your own land, a temporary demountable structure is a different conversation with your council than one that extends onto the pavement or the highway — the latter usually needs a pavement licence, introduced by the Business and Planning Act 2020 and made permanent by the Levelling-Up and Regeneration Act 2023. Check with your local authority for your specific site; we supply the certification and specification documents most applications ask for.
How quickly can it be pitched and packed away?
Minutes, not hours — one or two people, no power tools. That matters for a pub: the structure can be pitched before a Friday service and packed away again for a delivery, a refit, or a quiet midweek without eating into the day.
Can the canopy carry our branding?
Yes. LP Tent structures take custom canopy printing, walls and panel branding for permanent installations and seasonal setups alike. Talk to Temporium about specifications and lead times before you commit to artwork.
What does a quote include?
A frame and size specified to your terrace, wall and branding options, a ballast plan for the site, and heating if you want it — priced as one setup, not a base hire plus add-ons. Certification evidence is available on request.
