Built for Tassie. Proven in Tassie.

Here in Tasmania, the weather keeps all of us on our toes. One minute it’s blue skies, the next it’s sideways rain, icy winds off the Southern Ocean, or a heat spike in the middle of summer. At Tasbuilt Hire, we design, build, and maintain our modular hire units with these exact conditions in mind as we face them every single day.
 

Understanding the Conditions We Build For

Tasmania’s climate is famously unpredictable:

• Strong westerlies can hammer exposed sites
• Heavy rainfall hits the west, while the east can swing between wet periods and long dry spells
• Temperatures move quickly from warm afternoons to chilly mornings
• Coastal areas deal with salt, moisture, and constant wind
• Elevated inland areas feel the cold and fog more intensely

Because we work all over the state, from Devonport to Hobart, from the West Coast to the East Coast construction sites, we’ve seen exactly what Tassie weather can throw at a structure. And we’ve made sure our hire units are built to handle it.
 

How We Weather-Proof Our Modular Hire Units

1. Strong Structural Integrity and Anchoring

Our units are engineered with the wind in mind. We deal with exposed hilltops, open paddocks, coastal gusts, and construction sites with zero natural shelter, so robust bracing and secure anchoring systems are standard, not optional.

2. Superior Cladding, Sealing & Moisture Protection

Tasmanian rain can hit hard and suddenly. To protect your unit from moisture and water ingress, we ensure:

• High-quality, weather-resistant cladding
• Effective flashing around windows and doors
• All joints and penetrations are sealed properly
• Roof systems designed to shed heavy rainfall
• Gutters and downpipes kept clear and functional

3. Insulation Built for Tassie Temperatures

Whether your unit is going to the East Coast in summer or to a cold inland site in winter, comfort and energy efficiency matter. Our units carry insulation suitable for Tasmanian conditions, helping maintain a stable internal temperature and reducing heating load, which your staff will appreciate on those frosty mornings.

4. Elevated, Level Installations

With the amount of rain we see across the state, proper elevation is critical. We ensure units are installed on stable, level foundations with enough clearance to prevent water pooling underneath, splash-back onto cladding, and moisture damage to sub-floor components.

5. Durable Materials for Coastal & High-Exposure Areas

We regularly supply units to windy coastal sites and industrial locations, so we use materials that handle salt air, strong gusts, high moisture levels and abrasive conditions This includes corrosion-resistant coatings, reinforced frames, and robust external finishes designed for Tasmania’s harsher microclimates.

Advice for Our Hire Clients

Because we’ve installed units all over Tasmania, here’s what we recommend:

• Consider insulation or heating upgrades for winter jobs
• Keep gutters clear on long-term hires
• Let us know if your site has tricky access or ground conditions

Good planning + a well-built unit makes for a stress-free hire.
