Modular Gatehouses
A gatehouse is the first building anyone sees, so it should look like part of the premises rather than a temporary cabin. Ours are finished in your chosen cladding and colour, with observation glazing on both approaches and space for access control equipment.

Hire Gatehouses in the UK
Need gatehouses for a fixed period? Hire it instead of buying. Adacon manufactures the building to your layout and hands it over on hire terms, then collects it when you no longer need it — with the same quality, fit-out and design freedom as a purchase.
Hire terms are flexible — tell us how long you need the unit and we will confirm the rate for that period.

Built for the entrance, and for the traffic through it
We plan the glazing around the vehicle approach and exit, put the serving window on the driver's side, and keep a solid wall for barrier controls, intercom and monitors.
- Observation glazing on the approach and exit elevations
- Optional serving or check-in window at driver height
- Solid wall run for barrier controls, intercom and monitors
- Power and data containment for access control and ANPR
- Premium cladding and colour so it suits the site frontage
- Optional WC for extended manning
