Pros and Cons of Purchasing a Prefab Guard House

Serving to protect a facility and the people and property inside, a prefab guard house offers tremendous value. With the need for enhanced security for businesses, military bases, airports, government buildings, a portable guard booth on-site has become commonplace. When considering buying a pre-manufactured booth, it is important to understand both pros and cons.

Pros

• As mentioned, a portable guard booth is used as an enhanced safety measure. When placed on the outside of a facility, the individual manning the booth has far better control and knowledge of who enters and exits. In countless situations, a guard shack has deterred criminal activity. Being a prefabricated product, the booth is built in a factory and then shipped to the installing site, which dramatically reduces time to build a booth on-site..
• Prefabricated guard shacks can be ordered as standard or customized products. In either case, special upgrades can be made based on the customer’s requirements. Examples include blast-resistant and bulletproofing features, air conditioning and heating, security lighting, advanced technology, restrooms, and much more.
• Because a prefabricated guard shack is constructed in a factory as opposed to being built on-site, it is more cost-effective.
• A portable guard shack can be relocated quickly and easily.
• From an environmental perspective, there is less material waste with prefab shacks.

Cons

• If a pre-manufactured booth does not come from a reputable company, there is a risk of error. Even one small mistake can lead to a significant problem at some point in the future.
• Some companies that manufacture prefab booths have limited design options, meaning that no detail or personality is incorporated into the finished product.

Clearly, there are far more advantages of purchasing a prefabricated guard shack than there are disadvantages. With better security being a top priority for everyone, the popularity of guard shacks has skyrocketed. Typically, a guard shack is placed outside of a fenced-in area where it serves to maintain control of traffic going into and out of a facility. Although you can choose a kiosk booth where employees and outsiders check themselves in and out, most prefer a booth that is manned by one or more individuals.
