[General] portacabin or porta cabin?

Portacabin or porta cabin?

Should I put a space between "porta" and "cabin"?

As you will see from this link, it should be Portakabin. It's a brand name and it's a trade mark. Having said that, you will see it written without a capital letter and with a "c" instead of a "k" because, in the UK at least, it has become a generic name for the type of structure. Legally, though, the capitalised version with a "k" should be used. It should always be written as a single word.

I have never heard of this before. Thanks ems.

The Portacabin what I am discussing is, similar to the container. We use this one for site office in the construction field for temporary purpose.

That's what Emsr2d2 was referring to.

... which should have been clear from the link. It's just the same container but with a door and windows.
