For a higher roof on your container shelter, a base of two containers stacked on top of each other is recommended. This will create a 5 metre high wall beneath your shelter and, of course, more space that can be utilised in the containers themselves. No foundations are required for the container shelters: frame footings are simply bolted or welded onto the containers which act as a solid foundation for your shelter.
Whilst the extra benefits of a shipping container foundation are useful for storage or another purpose, there are times where a portable shelter without a shipping container base may also be required. Large sites with multiple worksites, farms, agricultural industries, and energy sectors are just some of the areas where an easily portable stand-alone shelter solution may be required. So the shipping container shelters can also be sited on walls or posts, and can also be used as stand-alone shelters, with no shipping containers required.
Two Container Shelter Ranges Available
At Port you can choose from two shipping container shelter ranges: a Premium range and a Platinum range. Our Premium range of shipping container shelters come in a large variety of sizes and can be custom made to order. The Platinum range is pre-made with a select size range. Both the premium shipping container shelter and economy container shelters are made to Australian Standards and have a 5 – 10 year warranty. Concerned about storms or gales? No need to be. Our standard units handle winds up to 152 kilometres per hour, and higher wind rated shelters rated up to 316 kilometres are also available.
