Lasting Solutions with Eco-Friendly Design
Prefabricated guard shacks offer long-term security solutions for diverse applications. The term “portable buildings” highlights their mobility, allowing you to repurpose each unit as your security needs evolve.
Beyond reusability, our pre-assembled guard shacks are manufactured in controlled environments and shipped ready for quick installation. This streamlined process minimizes construction waste and on-site disruptions, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional building methods.
Guard Shack Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to assemble a guard shack?
Our Porta-King guard shacks require no on-site assembly. These pre-built guard shacks are constructed in our factory and shipped ready for immediate use. For larger guard shacks that can’t be transported in one piece, we design them as modular units that are easily connected on-site, ensuring quick and efficient guard shack installation.
Do you offer standard size guard shacks?
While we provide standard dimensions for our Durasteel and Duraluminum guard shacks, most of our guard shack models include customization options to meet specific security needs. Our flexible approach ensures that each guard shack perfectly fits its intended application.
How is a guard shack anchored?
All our guard shacks come with anchor tabs for secure installation. Durasteel guard shacks feature pre-welded anchor tabs on the base frame, while Duraluminum guard shacks include separate anchor tabs for on-site installation, ensuring stability for every guard shack model.

What color options are available for guard shacks?
Our guard shacks offer extensive color choices. You can select from our standard color guide or request a custom color match. We provide single-color guard shacks or optional multi-color applications to suit your aesthetic preferences.
How do you prevent rust on steel guard shacks?
To ensure longevity, our steel guard shacks undergo a thorough anti-rust treatment. We clean all steel surfaces, apply a high-solid rust-inhibitive primer, and finish with a two-part polyurethane paint, providing superior protection for your guard shack.
What is the lead time for a guard shack?
Guard shack lead times vary based on the model and customization level. While Durasteel guard shacks with custom features may have longer production times, we strive to accommodate your timeline. Discuss your guard shack delivery requirements with our representatives for the most accurate lead time estimate.
How are guard shacks shipped?
Porta-King guard shacks are carefully shipped on flatbed trucks, securely strapped to ensure stability during transport. We recommend thoroughly inspecting your new guard shack upon arrival and before signing the bill of lading.
How do you offload guard shacks?
Most of our guard shacks can be offloaded with a forklift. Each guard shack is shipped with skid gear for easy access under the base frame. For larger guard shacks or unique installation requirements, we can provide lifting rings in the roof or custom rigging devices.
