Exploring M-Model Container Covers:
Three Styles for Versatile Protection

When it comes to maximizing storage and workspace efficiency, a well-designed container cover offers a robust and adaptable solution. Our prefabricated M-Model containers covers, built with cold-formed steel frame construction, transform standard shipping containers into protected, multi-functional spaces. Whether you need shelter for equipment, a covered workspace, or additional storage, these structures provide durability and versatility.

Available as DIY-friendly kits, they are designed for quick installation and long-term protection. In this blog, we will explore the three primary styles of M-Model Container Covers:

  • Inside Mount Design

  • Inside Mount & Lean Tos Design

  • Outside Mount Design

1) M-Model Container Covers:
Inside-Mount Design for a Streamlined Solution

The Inside-Mount style is designed for a straightforward and efficient setup. This is the standard configuration of our M-Model container covers that mount within the inner edges of the container tops, creating a fully enclosed structure while maintaining a sleek profile.

Inside Mount Key Benefits:

  • Provides a secure, weather-resistant enclosure
  • Maintains a lower overall height, making it ideal for space-restricted areas
  • Offers a clean, integrated look that complements existing storage solutions
  • Available as a prefabricated kit for easy, DIY assembly

This option is ideal for customers who require a durable, cost-effective way to create a protected environment without extending beyond the width of the containers. It works well for construction sites, equipment storage, and temporary workspaces where protection from the elements is needed without significantly altering the surrounding area.

2) M-Model Container Covers:
Inside-Mount & Lean-Tos to Expand Coverage

For those looking to extend their covered area, the Inside-Mount style with Lean-Tos configuration adds extra storage or workspace along the top edges of the containers. The main cover is installed on the inner edges of the containers, while lean-to structures extend outward, fully supported along the outer edges. To ensure structural integrity, this configuration requires a 4-foot vertical wall height from the inside edge of the container tops.

Inside Mount & Lean Tos Key Benefits:

  • Maximizes usable space by incorporating additional covered side areas
  • Ideal for equipment storage, workstations, or vehicle protection
  • Retains the streamlined look of an inside-mount while increasing functionality
  • Provides a clear height advantage with the required 4-foot vertical wall for stability
  • Helps shield the container tops from weather exposure
  • Available as a prefabricated kit with easy-to-follow DIY installation guides

This style of our M-Model container covers is a great choice for businesses or individuals who need extra covered space while maintaining a central enclosed area. The additional lean-tos make this configuration one of the most versatile options available, offering an excellent blend of protection and expanded functionality.

3) M-Model Container Covers:
Outside-Mount for Maximum Coverage

The Outside-Mount configuration provides the most expansive coverage by mounting on the outer edges of the shipping containers. This results in a wider overall structure with maximum interior space, making it ideal for high-clearance applications.

Outside Mount Key Benefits:

  • Creates a larger open area beneath the cover
  • Increases overall height and width for greater clearance
  • Ideal for applications requiring ample sheltered space, such as workshops or vehicle storage
  • Shields container tops from direct exposure to harsh weather conditions
  • Prefabricated kit design allows for quick and straightforward DIY installation

This style of our M-Model container covers is particularly beneficial for industrial and commercial applications where a larger, more open workspace is needed without interior supports obstructing movement. From manufacturing and logistics operations to agricultural storage, this option provides exceptional versatility and room to accommodate various activities.

Selecting the Right M-Model Container Covers for Your Needs

Each of these M-Model container covers offers distinct advantages, depending on your space, budget, and storage needs. The Inside-Mount style provides a compact and enclosed shelter, while the Lean-To variation adds extra workspace and weather protection. The Outside-Mount configuration delivers maximum space and coverage, making it ideal for large-scale operations.
