Container Shelters: Your NZ Portable Shelter Solution
If you manage an outdoor worksite, you might want to install a large shelter that can easily be moved around—be it for protecting equipment from the elements or making a sheltered area for servicing machinery.
Setting up a shed or building can be expensive and time-consuming when you only need a shelter for a few weeks. And while containers are great for temporary storage, they’re often limited in size.
Here’s where quality container shelters come in handy. Using two or more shipping containers as a base, container shelters allow you to quickly install a covered outdoor storage space, vehicle bay, or workshop. Plus, you can quickly disassemble it if you need to move to another location after a project ends.
Container shelter installations are the perfect storage and workspace solution you’ve been searching for. Find out why we recommend these shelters for your NZ business.
What is a Portable Container Shelter?
Container shelters consist of two or more shipping containers and a heavy-duty roof made of a steel frame and weather-resistant cover. These shelters are generally designed to be temporary and easy to disassemble when it’s time to move.
Portable container shelter installations are useful for sectors that require temporary covered outdoor space. These could include construction sites, mines, and ever-moving military posts. Businesses with permanent locations can also make use of container shelters. For instance, they can use shelters to protect farm equipment and tools from wind damage or as a vehicle bay for cars, boats, and planes.
Because container shelters use containers as their foundation, they require less installation effort than conventional buildings and sheds. The ease and affordability of container shelter installation make them great value for anyone who needs more storage or workspace.
What are the Benefits of Container Shelters?
Versatility
In New Zealand, container shelters are employed in a wide range of sectors, including mining, military, farming, and industrial. Easy to install yet manufactured for heavy-duty applications, they’re suitable for warehouses, workshops, vehicle service areas, and more.
Need more height? Simply stack containers on top of each other and the space under the shelter doubles in an instant—ideal for storing large farm machinery and vehicles.
If you modify your shipping containers, you can even create a temporary office or enclosed storage area, maximising room on the site.
Affordability
Container shelters are much more affordable than permanent storage structures of comparable size. There’s no need to spend extra installing a permanent foundation; you just attach the roof to the storage containers, which are usually already affordable.
The price drops even more when you make use of B-grade containers. Although these containers have been used before, they are still durable and fit for purpose, thanks to their heavy-duty, weather-resistant bodies.
Ease of Installation
Being designed for portability comes hand in hand with being easy to install. Many portable shelters, especially smaller models, don’t even require welding. Instead, they’re attached with bolts or clamps, making installation a breeze with supplied instructions from the manufacturer.
It’s simple to get a shelter up in less than a day and just as easy to take it back down in the same time. The efficient assembly process is ideal for quickly relocating shelters between sites.
The great thing is that the containers can also double as storage for the shelter parts, saving space in the process!
What Can You Use a Portable Container Shelter for?
Storage
Portable container shelters are an easy way to upgrade outdoor areas with strong, covered storage. They protect goods and stock from potential sun damage and weather wreckage. Livestock feed, construction tools, unused machinery—some of the many items often stored in container shelters.
Vehicle Bay
These shelters provide great coverage for cars, boats, or motorcycles. They shield vehicles from the elements while providing ample room for car servicing. Need to store a larger vehicle? Prop up another set of containers to instantly expand the space.
Workshop
Quality container shelters offer a tough temporary working space that shields employees from the harsh sun or rain out in the field. They come in different sizes to suit the needs of any worksite in New Zealand. These shelters are also suitable for making meeting spaces and rest sites for employees.
