Why an Engineered Container Shelter Matters

Buying a container shelter is a big decision. Every fabric and metal structure is an engineered product. So is almost everything else you touch each day.

The real difference is code. A Container Canopies brand shelter meets most wind, snow and building codes. City, state and federal rules keep getting tighter. So code matters more now than it used to.

What a Container Shelter Covers

A container shelter turns two shipping containers into covered space. The roof spans the gap with no posts in the middle. That open floor is what makes these systems work so hard.

Our container covers protect:

Heavy equipment and work trucks parked outside
Grain, feed and bulk goods at farms and mills
Outdoor work bays and welding areas
Job site staging and tool storage
Boats, trailers and marine gear
Ground support gear at airfields

Site owners pick a shipping container cover over a steel building for three reasons. It goes up faster. Most sites need no footing. And it moves when the work moves.

How a Container Shelter Goes Up

You already own the walls. Your containers do that job. We add the frame and the cover on top.

A crew sets the trusses across both containers. Then the cover goes on. No lacing. No pouring. Most jobs finish in a day or two.

Conex roof and conex shelter systems mount the same way. The frame clamps to the container corners, so we drill nothing.

You keep the yard space you have. You just gain a roof over it.

Questions to Ask Any Container Shelter Provider

We challenge every buyer to ask these questions of any shelter or cover provider:

E

Is the shelter built for ISO shipboard and Conex containers, pony walls or steel supports?

E

Is the cover designed for the U.S. market?

E

Do they offer site-specific engineering support in all 50 states?
