Vehicle Repair & Restoration Shelters

Purpose-built workspaces for automotive professionals

Our gazebos and marquees have become a familiar sight at race circuits, workshops, and garages up and down the country. They’re not just for events — they’re for anyone who needs a safe, covered space to get hands-on with cars, bikes, or commercial vehicles.

Body repair specialists use them for smart repairs and dent removal. Restoration experts turn them into sanding and polishing bays. Valeters set up mobile operations on customer drives. They’re an all-weather, all-purpose solution to the challenges of working outdoors or in cramped garages.

With a Gala Tent setup, you can create a proper workspace — dry, bright, ventilated, and anchored down solidly.

From valeting to full restoration — scalable shelter solutions

Every automotive business starts somewhere. You might be running a mobile valeting service that needs quick assembly and smart branding — see Valeting Gazebos. Or perhaps you’re working with paint and body finishes, needing airflow and clean coverage — that’s where Pop-Up Spray Booths come in.

Gala Tent shelters scale effortlessly with your work. From compact setups for mobile valeters and detailers to full-sized bays for mechanical and restoration projects, every frame is designed to grow with your business. When the jobs get bigger, your workspace can too.

Designed for daily use

These aren’t flimsy garden tents or cheap temporary shelters — Gala Tent products are built for commercial use. Our aluminium frames, reinforced joints, and professional-grade covers are made to survive constant movement, assembly, and teardown.

All materials are flame-retardant and compliant with UK safety standards, and every model we produce is backed by ISO 9001-certified quality control at our South Yorkshire facility.

Whether you’re bolting it to concrete or weighting it on tarmac, you’ll get a workspace that’s strong, stable, and properly engineered. Add LED lighting, sidewalls, and guttering to keep things bright, dry, and professional.

Vehicle restoration marquees

When it comes to long-term vehicle restoration projects, size and flexibility are everything. Our Elite PVC marquees and Fusion Modular Marquees can be configured to cover multiple bays or large restoration zones, providing clear headroom and reliable weatherproofing year-round.

Smaller garages and specialists often use our Pro 50 or Pro 60 gazebos as semi-permanent bays — ideal for one or two vehicles, with the benefit of fast setup and mobility. Larger workshops prefer modular systems that can be expanded as the business grows, with add-ons like clear window walls, service doors, and branded fascia panels.

Imagine a 6m x 6m Vantage serving as a full-sized workshop bay — plenty of room for tool chests, lifts, and rolling frames, all under a roof that goes up in minutes and stands strong all year.

Made for the work, ready for your brand

Vehicle repair is more than spanners and spray guns — it’s about presentation. A clean, branded workspace looks professional and inspires customer confidence. Gala Tent offers full-colour printed canopies, pelmets, and wall panels that can carry your company logo, sponsors, or workshop details with clarity and impact.

Whether you’re working roadside, inside a business park, or exhibiting your restoration work at a show, your setup can double as a piece of advertising. Our in-house design team can help create artwork that fits your brand perfectly — clean lines, bold colours, and a finish that lasts.

Used by repairers, restorers, and traders across the UK

From mobile dent repair specialists to full-blown classic car restoration outfits, Gala Tent structures are trusted by professionals across the UK. Our customers range from independent workshops in Yorkshire and the Midlands to national fleet service providers and motorsport engineers.
