GIESSE’s lateral shelters are erected along the wall of existing buildings. The supporting structure rests against the wall of the building lengthwise and has a roof and a cover sheet on the outer side, so providing protected access directly from the building, whereas the remaining two ends are open to allow free passage of persons and vehicles. These openings can be closed with strong sliding curtains. The main feature is that they can cover marginal areas so making them perfectly serviceable and exploitable for storing goods. These shelters can have either a single or a double pitched roof.
