    Frequently asked questions

    What is a container shelter?

    A container shelter is a roof structure mounted between shipping containers to create a covered space. A container dome shelter uses an arched roof to provide overhead cover for storage, vehicles, machinery or outdoor work.

    What is the difference between a container shelter and a container home?

    A container shelter creates covered space between containers. A container home uses converted shipping containers as living accommodation. The products in this collection are shelter roofs and related accessories.

    How do I choose the correct shelter size?

    Measure your planned container layout and the equipment or materials you want to cover. Compare each shelter’s span, roof length and clearance height, allowing enough room for access and movement.

    What do 20FT and 40FT mean?

    These designations refer to the shipping container configuration associated with the shelter. They do not describe every dimension of the roof. Check the individual product specifications for the shelter’s width, length and height.

    Are shipping containers included?

    Check the individual product listing for the supplied components. If you need confirmation about shipping containers, mounting hardware or accessories, contact Steelmates before ordering.

    Can an open container shelter keep everything dry?

    The roof provides overhead cover, but wind-driven rain can enter through open ends. Consider the position of stored items and compatible end walls where additional protection is needed.

    What should I check before installation?

    Check the installation instructions, container condition and layout, mounting and anchoring requirements, ground conditions and drainage. Confirm that the chosen model is suitable for your site and intended use.

    Container Dome Shelters for Storage and Work

    Make better use of the space between shipping containers with a container dome shelter. The roof spans the gap between containers, creating a covered area for equipment, supplies, parking or outdoor tasks.

    Often searched for as a container shed, this setup combines container storage with an additional sheltered space alongside it. Steelmates offers a range of configurations to suit different layouts and uses.

    Choose the Right Container Shelter Size

    Start with what you need to cover. Consider the width and height of your vehicles or machinery, the space needed to move around them, and access for loading or unloading.

    Compare the compatible container setup, shelter span, roof length and clearance height listed for each model. The 20FT or 40FT designation relates to the container configuration; check the shelter’s separate dimensions to understand its covered area.

    Cover for Farms and Industrial Yards

    Container shelters can provide covered space for farm equipment, trailers, vehicles and stored materials. They can also create overhead cover for loading areas and outdoor workspaces.

    An open-ended dome shelter allows convenient access. Where additional weather protection is needed, consider compatible end walls and how their openings will affect access and ventilation.

    Container Shelter End Walls

    End walls help reduce exposure at the ends of the shelter and can create a more enclosed space. Choose an end wall that matches the shelter model and dimensions.

    Review the product details for compatibility, opening configuration and what is included before ordering.

    Plan Your Shelter Installation

    Before choosing a shelter, check your container layout, ground conditions, drainage and access. Review the model’s installation instructions and mounting requirements, including how the containers and shelter will be secured.

    Site exposure and intended use should guide your choice. Contact Steelmates with your container dimensions and the space you want to cover for help comparing available models.
