Container shelter: flexible solution for storage and workspace

A container shelter is a versatile solution for creating extra space between shipping containers. It consists of a sturdy frame and a durable cover that can be easily attached using one of several fastening options. With this flexible structure, you can quickly create a practical storage area for goods, vehicles, or equipment, suitable for both temporary and long-term use.

One of the main advantages of a shelter between shipping containers is its quick and simple installation. Without the need for complex construction processes, the shelter can be set up and used in no time. This makes it an ideal choice for temporary projects or seasonal storage needs. Additionally, the modular structure allows for easy relocation to another site or project.

Whether you need an arched container shelter between two containers or a larger shelter for outdoor storage of vehicles, the modular design ensures you can always find a solution that perfectly fits your needs.

Applications of the container shelter

A container shelter is highly versatile and suitable for use in various industries. It provides ideal protection for bulk goods and equipment in outdoor storage, makes an excellent temporary workspace, and is commonly used for covering silage pits. This makes it a valuable solution for the construction, industrial, waste and recycling, and agricultural sectors.

In addition to storage, the shelter can also serve as a mobile workspace. The sturdy structure offers protection from sun, rain, and wind while creating a practical and flexible working environment that can be easily adjusted or relocated. This makes it ideal for locations where working conditions change, such as construction sites, port areas, or event spaces.

Sizes and configurations of the container shelter

Our container shelters are available in a range of sizes. Widths vary from 4 meters to 24 meters, and lengths are available in 6, 12,18,24,30,36 meters. By connecting multiple shelters, you can expand the covered area to create a larger storage or workspace.

The height of the shelter depends on its width. In some cases, the shelter can be placed one, two, or even three containers high, allowing easy access for trucks and heavy machinery. Additionally, our shelters can also be mounted on concrete walls for added height and stability.

Installation and assembly of the container shelter

Installing a container shelter is quick and easy. A detailed assembly manual is included with the delivery, providing step-by-step instructions for setup. The shelter can be securely attached to containers using the twist-lock system or mounted on a concrete wall using concrete anchors.

For both installation and unloading the materials upon delivery, the use of a forklift is recommended.

Permit-free installation of the container shelter

In many cases, a container shelter can be installed without a permit, especially if it complies with local zoning regulations. This makes it an ideal option for temporary storage or work spaces without the need for lengthy permit applications. However, since regulations vary by location, we always recommend checking with local authorities in advance to avoid any delays or issues. Want to know if you need a permit? Find out more here.
