How to budget for a large tent warehouse: Points to keep in mind and how to determine a fair price.

Tent warehouses are a type of warehouse with a metal framework covered with a tent membrane fabric, known as a membrane structure. Because of the ease of construction, they have been used for a variety of purposes. Many companies are considering introducing their own tents.

However, when the plan to introduce the system becomes concrete, the first thing that concerns us is its cost. Although it is said to be less expensive than other warehouses, the actual cost is a concern. Even if the cost is low, we do not want to be disappointed if the cost is “too low or too high.

There must be endless worries about whether the warehouse is of sufficient quality, or what to do if it is damaged by an unexpected disaster after installation.

In this issue, we will introduce the general price of tent warehouses, as well as the points to consider when determining the price, our tent warehouses using new technology, and the various services we offer, including our comprehensive after-sales care.

Prices for tent warehouses are

How much do tent warehouses generally cost? Let us write down the price ranges by size.

However, this is calculated on a per-square-meter basis based on our published prices in the August 2028 issue of “Kensetsu Biyaku (Construction Prices),” published by the Japan Construction Price Survey, and excludes construction, transportation, and foundation work.

Tent Warehouse Prices by Size

name of product	form (something takes)	Width x Length (m2)	Unit price per m2 (yen)
flex house	fixed type	192	22,286
flex house	fixed type	300	18,077
flex house	fixed type	480	17,875
flex house	fixed type	450	17,918
flex house	fixed type	828	17,536
flex house	fixed type	960	17,531

flex house	fixed type	960	18,563
flex house	telescopic	120	47,117
flex house	telescopic	576	26,030

As you can see from the list, economies of scale for tent warehouses are high, and in a standard area of 500 m2, construction can be done for as low as 100,000 yen or less per tsubo. However, specific unit prices vary depending on size and format.

For example, it can vary greatly depending on what is used for the membrane material and framework, and how the width of the frontage is provided.

Taiyo Kogyo’s specialists will consult with you not only on the construction of the tent warehouse, but also on the peripheral costs associated with its introduction, such as road repairs around the warehouse.

Points to keep in mind when determining price

What must be taken into account in selecting quotes and determining prices is the range of variation associated with the specifications mentioned in the previous section. In addition to the main price of the tent warehouse, it is also necessary to check the overhead costs associated with construction. In addition, running costs must also be taken into account.

For short-term spot use, you do not need to worry too much, but if you are considering medium- to long-term use of 5 years or more, you should consider the useful life and maintenance of the tent warehouse.

Durability and service life are important when considering the running costs of tent warehouses. Typical tent warehouse membrane materials are used for 10 years, and even “high resistance membranes” with thicker resin content or fiberglass are used for 15 years.

Reference article, ” How long should the useful life of a tent warehouse be considered?”

Although the self-cleaning titanium dioxide photocatalytic coating film provided by Taiyo Kogyo has a service life that is 20% longer than these coatings, maintenance is inevitably required. Depending on the usage environment, replacement or repair may be necessary in a shorter span of time.

To address these issues, Taiyo Kogyo offers an aftercare service called TACS, a membrane deterioration diagnosis system. We can diagnose the deterioration of your membrane materials and report when it is time to replace your tent warehouse, even if it is not one of our own construction projects. We encourage you to take advantage of this service when you install a tent warehouse.

Why we can sell tent warehouses at competitive prices

Some manufacturers offer tent warehouses at extremely reasonable prices. The cost is nothing short of low, so you may be tempted to jump on the bandwagon, but wait a bit.

There is a reason for the extremely low prices, and not all manufacturers do, for example,

• Outsourced material processing
• No in-house technical research or quality assurance
• Insufficient explanation of appearance and quality over time (neglected)

and others are also possible.

Again, this is not a problem if the plan is for temporary use or for the short term. If it is to be used over the medium to long term, running costs and deterioration of appearance over time should be taken into consideration.

In introducing tent warehouses, it is best to consider with the manufacturer how long they will be used in the business plan and how much they will cost during that period of time to forecast and study.

At Taiyo Kogyo, we have a lineup of originally developed components such as special titanium dioxide films with self-cleaning effects. We want to provide tent warehouses that last as long as possible and require as little maintenance as possible.

And regularly diagnosing the condition of your tent warehouse is the first step in dealing with aging and deterioration. We also offer “reconstruction, replacement, and membrane material deterioration diagnosis services,” so please contact us to discuss your needs.
