A logistics yard operator came to us with a problem they'd been putting off for too long. Palletised stock was sitting out in the open, taking the weather, and a permanent building wasn't on the table because of planning. What they did have were two 40ft shipping containers already on site, parked apart from each other and not doing much.
We bridged the gap between them with a 40ft x 40ft container canopy, adding front and back panels to close off both ends completely. The back panel seals the rear of the structure and the front panel includes a full-height roll-up door, giving forklift access straight through. The galvanised steel frame clamps to the container tops without welding or groundworks, so nothing on site gets damaged and the whole thing can come down and move if the layout ever changes.
The install took a single day. Frame up in the morning, cover tensioned by early afternoon, panels on last. By the following morning the team were already moving pallets in. The containers give lockable storage down each side and the covered span in the middle provides full clearance for vehicles and equipment throughout. All stocked buildings come with a 5-year frame and cover warranty.
If you have containers on site and need covered storage sorted quickly, get in touch and we'll talk you through the options.
