Container Covers

A Simple and Practical Roofing Solution

WHY CHOOSE STEEL FOR CONTAINER COVER SYSTEMS?

A container cover provides a simple and practical roofing solution for business and industrial use. Steel allows unused space between shipping containers to be transformed into functional covered areas such as storage zones or workspaces. Because the structure requires no interior beams or trusses, the result is a completely open span that can be configured to suit a wide range of operational needs.

HOW A CONTAINER COVER WORKS

A container cover is mounted to two shipping containers (customer supplied) using our mounting plates. The containers then act as the walls of the structure. This arched roofing system is able to provide coverage and protection for anything you choose to house underneath it. Often, people decide to convert their container covers into garages, storage buildings, workshops, and a variety of other commercial applications.

Quotes

Internet or phone purchases can be a harrowing experience, especially on something like a large storage building–not with Toro. In fact, they were a lot easier and nicer to deal with than local companies.

If you require a more secure and closed space, optional end walls are available. This will create a more traditional metal structure. Additional accessories that can be added include skylights, man doors, shipping doors, ventilation, and insulation.

A How-To for Container Covers

Our Container Covers are designed to be erected with real speed and ease. Each kit comes with special mounting plates that affix directly to the containers and then work to hold the roofing panels in place as you add them one by one. Such a clever example of how combining our steel arches with your repurposed containers as a base results in endless new uses for storage, shelter and space!
