- Available in any length in 2m increments
- Spans of 10m, 12m or 14m
- Heavy-duty 76mm MAGNAtube® steel framework

- For block wall & concrete push-wall mounting
Trusted by construction, logistics, and manufacturing sites across the UK
From coastal yards to hilltop sites, our shelters have faced the best and worst of British weather.
Covered Storage Built Onto Existing Walls
TUFFShel Blok covered aggregate storage bays provide a simple, effective way to keep bulk materials protected from the elements while maintaining easy access for loading and handling.
The TUFFShel Blok system is designed specifically for mounting onto existing concrete or block walls, allowing you to create a durable, weatherproof storage area without the need for a full standalone structure.
By utilising your existing yard infrastructure, you can quickly transform open bays into covered storage - helping to reduce material loss, improve site organisation, and keep operations running in all conditions.
Whether you're storing aggregates, recycling materials, feed, or general bulk goods, exposed storage can lead to wasted product, difficult handling conditions, and operational slowdowns.
A covered storage bay provides protection from rain and wind, improved material quality and consistency, safer, more efficient working conditions, and better organisation across your yard.
The TUFFShel Blok is built with these real-world challenges in mind - delivering a tough, long-lasting solution that works as hard as you do.
Stop leaving materials exposed. TUFFShel Blok turns concrete walls into fully covered aggregate storage - protecting stock from weather and improving site efficiency.
Gable End Options
The TUFFShel Blok can be configured with either an open gable end or a D-panel, depending on how you need to use the space.
A common and highly effective setup is to leave the front gable open for unrestricted access, while enclosing the rear with a D-panel above a (lego) block wall. This creates a practical, hard-wearing storage bay that allows easy loading and unloading from the front, while providing a solid back wall to safely push or scoop materials against.
The result is a well-contained, weather-protected space that keeps bulk materials organised, reduces loss, and supports efficient day-to-day operation in busy yards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TUFFShel Blok?
The TUFFShel Blok is a wall-mounted covered storage system designed to fix directly onto existing concrete or block walls. It creates durable, protected storage bays without the need for a full standalone structure.
What type of wall is required?
The system is designed to mount onto solid concrete or block walls, such as lego block bays or concrete push-walls. These must be structurally sound and capable of supporting the load of the structure.
What can I use it for?
TUFFShel Blok structures are commonly used for storing aggregates, recycling materials, sand, salt, bulk goods, animal feed, and machinery. They are ideal for any application where materials need protection from the weather while remaining easily accessible.
Do I need foundations?
In most cases, no traditional foundations are required. The structure utilises your existing wall for support, reducing groundworks, installation time, and overall cost.
Can it be installed onto existing bays?
Yes - the TUFFShel Blok is specifically designed to work with existing yard infrastructure, making it ideal for upgrading open storage bays into covered storage areas.
What size options are available?
The TUFFShel Blok can be configured to suit your space, with a range of widths, and lengths available. You can design your structure using our online configurator or request a tailored quote.
Can the structure be enclosed?
Yes - you can add gable end options such as D-Panels to create a more enclosed environment, depending on your requirements. By combining a D-Panel with a wall in the gable you can acheive a completely enclosed gable end.
Is it suitable for exposed or windy locations?
Yes - TUFFShel structures are engineered to British Standards, wind & snow load tested, and built using high-grade galvanised steel to withstand demanding UK weather conditions. We can advise on specification for more exposed sites.
Do you offer installation?
Yes - we offer a nationwide construction service, or you can choose to install the structure yourself. Support and guidance are available if needed.
Do I need planning permission?
This depends on the size, height, and location of the structure. We recommend checking with your local authority, but we can provide drawings and specifications to support your application if required.
