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.
