Container Mounted Installation

ShelterPro Container Shelters are specifically designed to accommodate a diverse range of applications.

Whether you need shelter for industrial storage, agricultural purposes, or temporary workspaces, our shelter solutions are tailored to provide flexible setup and installation options that cater to a variety of shelter needs.

‍

Common Method.

Shipping containers serve as excellent foundations for our shelters due to them being heavy, sturdy and substantial structures. They offer both mobility and affordability, making them an ideal choice. Shipping containers provide ample clearance for most applications, making them an excellent platform to mount your ShelterPro shelter on.

Among our mounting options, shipping containers are the most widely preferred and offer a straightforward installation.

‍

Creating Extra Space.

Integrating a ShelterPro shelter with shipping containers instantly provides you with a workshop, vehicle storage/service bay, or general storage area, along with the convenience of lockable storage space within the shipping containers.

Shipping containers are also designed for easy relocation with minimal disruption or cost. This makes Container Shelters perfect for temporary or short-term contracts, while also serving as a fast, efficient, and cost-effective solution for permanent shelter needs.

If overall width is an issue, or you want to create some dry storage on top of your containers, shelters can be mounted on the outside edges of your shipping containers.

‍

Container & Pole.

Our shelters can be mounted in a variety of different mounting configurations to suit your site or shelter requirements. If you only have the space for or only require one container you can mount your shelter between both the container on one edge and poles on another. Perfect for smaller sites.

Any of these mounting configurations can be replicated for all shelter sizes and both 20 and 40ft containers.
