Container shelters are used in many industries, including mining, construction, energy, transport, agriculture, viticulture and more. Create instant shade, protect from the elements, secure your expensive equipment…all with a transportable shelter that’s easily constructed and installed.

Wet weather, hot weather, cold weather, frost – a container shelter can counter them all. The shipping containers beneath the shelter provide their own useful functions as well. And when you need to move operations? You simply take the whole shebang with you.

Container Shelters Melbourne Design

The container shelter design is incredibly simple. First, two (or more – it’s always done in pairs) shipping containers are placed opposite each other, on either side of the space where the goods that need to be housed will be placed. The high-domed shelter is then simply secured to the shipping containers to create a cover. Protecting tall goods or equipment is as easy as stacking the containers two-high, which gives a 5 metre high wall and, of course, all the storage or work space that those extra shipping containers bring. Four containers and a shelter give you a complete worksite with shelter (accommodation, first aid room, site office and storage area) neatly and compactly. End walls can also be arranged if you need to completely enclose your equipment or site. Bigger shelters can also be built using more shipping containers.

Completely Portable…or Permanent Shelters – You Decide!

Shipping container shelters (like shipping containers themselves) were originally designed to be portable, but often become permanent fixtures. So even if you don’t need to ever move your shipping container shelter, it could be the ideal solution for your storage needs.
