Choosing the Right Materials for Your Container Shelter

Container shelters are essential in various industries, including construction, energy and mining, agriculture, logistics and even humanitarian aid. Whatever industry you work in, it’s crucial to consider your options when selecting the proper container shelter for your business. 

When choosing, it’s key to consider the unique purpose your container must serve. This purpose will inform you of the specific materials and components you need to incorporate into the design of the container shelter. In tandem, it’s crucial to think of quality when it comes to your container shelter. Durability and weatherproof materials can make the difference between 5 years of use and 10+ years of high use. 

ShelterPro uses robust materials that last. When kitting out your container shelter, you will likely want one that can brave the elements and stand the test of time. With ShelterPro, we use top materials like hot-dip galvanised steel, PVC coverings, and an overall durable design that delivers both quality and function. 

Qualities that dictate your purchase

When investing in a container shelter, you want to guarantee it can withstand the elements. With ShelterPro, our designs are built with materials that can sustain high winds and bear the brunt of significant stormy weather. 

Our container shelters are:

Corrosion-proof—Due to the product's outdoorsy nature, your shelter must be rust-resistant, no matter the specifics of your unique industry. ShelterPro has built-in materials to assist with this. 

Flexibility: Ability to re-erect structure—Our modular design supports an easy installation suitable for various locations and is relatively straightforward to re-erect. 

Weather considered: Your industry could very well place you in an extremely hot or cold environment—depending on your purpose. With ShelterPro, you can rest knowing that our shelters are UV-protected and can withstand turbulent rain. Any kind of weather can be thrown at our products. 

Ease of use—our materials help you achieve the low maintenance you desire. Our designs are straightforward and don’t require much set-up, so you can save time and prioritise the things that matter in your business. 

Materials that give our container shelters their superior performance

Our Steel is robust: Hot-Dip Galvanised Q235 

When considering the lifespan of your container shelter, you want to be reassured that it can not only meet the everyday expectations of functioning but also stand tall when battered by severe storms and significant weather. Our frames are equipped with hot-dip galvanised steel (Q235 structured steel). We have selected top-quality steel for numerous reasons, mainly for its durability, strength, and rust resistance. 

Longevity

When a product like a shelter container is galvanised, the materials will last much longer. Galvanised steel can also withstand the weather. Our steel is dipped in a flux solution, which prevents oxidation before we galvanise it. We then dip it in molten zinc, which forms a bond between the zinc and steel. It’s then moved from the zinc mixture, and we check for issues, ensuring it’s in top-notch condition. Together, this process can help shape a lengthy lifespan for a container shelter, a life that braves the elements. 

Minimal energy

Thankfully, galvanised steel does not need to be repainted or treated, so you can do all the tasks that matter to your business without constant upkeep.

Structural integrity

Our hot-dipped galvanised steel is so tough that it is reliable against environmental damage. 

Save money in the long run

While selecting this special steel type can be a high purchase initially, you will save money in the long run. Untreated steel can put your company at risk for more repairs and replacements, which, over time, can add up and, in some cases, match the price for our galvanised steel containers. 

Durability and Strength: PVC fabric that matters

ShelterPro has some top-quality PVC fabric materials that we use to cover our shelter containers. Suppose you want to keep your shelter container in a location that may be challenging; then, fret not, as our covering materials give superior protection from the elements. For durable shelter materials, our products are: 

• Sun-proof: Our UV-stabilised fabric sets us apart from our competitors. Sun exposure can be detrimental to preserving the longevity of a container shelter, and our products help withstand the sun’s effects over a prolonged time. 
• Stay clear of fire risk: ShelterPro’s PVC fabric is fire-retardant, making it an extremely safe product for preventative fire risks. 
• Ease of use: We use thick fabric to coat our container shelters—no more tears, excessive wear or punctures – just streamlined, strong fabric, designed to last. 
• Waterproof: our fabric is waterproof, making it an excellent shelter from those pesky downfalls in winter and even tested in heavier storms. 
• No vigorous maintenance: Expect to do some dirt and debris washes every now and then, but don’t expect to have a lengthy maintenance routine. 

Shelter Pro

In short, at ShelterPro, we use lasting materials. Ideally, all of our durable shelter materials can adapt to various unique conditions, but the container shelter's purpose matters. Your industry dictates this (construction, energy and mining, agriculture, or logistics). We can assist if you need to house staff on a hot building site or store gear in a rain-ridden location. No matter the weather or conditions, as they may vary, we are committed to providing top-quality materials that serve function and cost. 

ShelterPro’s materials set us apart. Our hot-dipped galvanised steel provides endurance in harsh environments, while our UV-equipped PVC fabrics can combat sun-infused summer days. 

Buying one of our container shelters requires minimal upkeep. You should be busy ticking off the many items on your to-do list at work instead of ensuring your shelter is functional.
