A cost-effective solution to creating extra covered workspace

Our steel structure provides extra durability and high wind-loading tolerances

We can use both 650gsm & 900gsm heavy-duty PVC fabric to span our steelwork

Our standard container shelters are designed to span between two containers (12m in length), providing a cost-effective and versatile solution for creating additional covered space for machinery, cargo, or work areas.

To save you time and hassle, we offer a full installation service for all our container shelter options – all you need to do is provide the containers.

Unlike many pre-made kits made from aluminium, our shelters are constructed from durable galvanized steel, offering superior strength and high wind-loading tolerances. We use either 650gsm or 900gsm heavy-duty PVC fabric to span the steel framework. This can be supplied as a single sheet for a more economical option, or as Kedar panels, which improve durability and make it easier to replace an individual panel if damaged – avoiding the need to replace the entire sheet.

Our container shelters can be manufactured with front and rear panels to enclose the whole area to protect against inclement weather.

Our shipping container shelters can be customised with clear PVC windows, front and rear door panels, and mesh panels. We also offer fully bespoke designs, including options that use just one container side or no containers at all, creating a free-standing covered shelter. Get in touch with us to discuss how we can design the perfect solution for your needs.
