A practical, compliant solution for designated smoking areas
Our Shipping Container Smoking Shelters offer a secure, weatherproof and compliant space for smokers on-site. Designed with functionality and durability in mind, these modified containers provide a designated area for staff or visitors to smoke, without compromising on safety or site appearance. Whether for construction sites, industrial premises, or events, our smoking shelters help ensure you remain aligned with workplace legislation.
Each shelter is made using repurposed shipping containers, meaning they’re robust, secure, and able to stand up to heavy use and harsh conditions. We modify the container to include open-sided or partially enclosed panels to comply with smoke-free legislation, while still offering protection from wind and rain. A fitted bench provides seating, and optional ashtrays or wall-mounted cigarette bins help keep the area tidy.

Frequently asked questions
Smoking Shelters
Are your smoking shelters compliant with UK smoking laws?
Yes, all of our smoking shelters are designed in line with UK smoke-free legislation. They feature open or partially open sides to ensure proper ventilation and compliance while still offering protection from the weather.
What sizes are available?
Our smoking shelters are 2740mm (w) x 2475mm (h) x 1880mm (d). If you need a different size or configuration, we may be able to create a custom solution – just let us know your requirements.
Can the unit be moved to a different location on site?
Yes, our smoking shelters are built using standard steel containers, making them easy to relocate with the right lifting equipment. This gives you added flexibility if your site layout changes.
Do the shelters come with seating or bins included?
All units can be fitted with simple internal bench seating and cigarette bins. These are optional add-ons, so you can choose what best suits your site and workforce.
How quickly can you deliver?
We aim to deliver as quickly as possible, often within just a few working days depending on availability and location. Our team will handle positioning on-site to ensure the shelter is ready to use straight away.
Can I customise the shelter with my company branding?
Yes, we can paint the unit in your company colours if required. This is a popular option for businesses wanting a smart, consistent look across their site.
Is planning permission required?
In most cases, temporary smoking shelters do not require planning permission, especially for construction or industrial sites. However, we always recommend checking with your local authority if you’re unsure.
What ground preparation is needed before delivery?
The unit should be placed on level, firm ground such as concrete, tarmac, or compacted hardcore. Our team can advise you on the best setup depending on your site.
