Container Traders is your choice for premium Container Shelters

Not all Container Shelters are built the same. Cheaper competitors cut costs with lighter framing and thinner fabric, and you’ll pay for that when the cover degrades or the structure can’t handle harsh weather.

Container Traders only supplies Australian-made Shelters with engineered steel frames, heavy-duty polyethylene covers and a 10-year warranty, because that’s the standard we run at our own depots every day. We’ve been helping Australians get more from their shipping containers since 2016.

Customisable Container Shelters & Sheds to suit your site

Every project is different, so every shelter should be too. Container Traders offers container dome shelters and rural sheds in a range of sizes to fit 20ft and 40ft shipping containers, with widths spanning from 6 metres right up to 22 metres. Customise further by adding accessories including end walls, LED lighting, roller doors, guttering, and signage to turn a basic covered area into a fully functional workspace.

Mount inside or outside your containers

Shelters can attach to either the inner or outer container rails. Outer mounting keeps rain and sun off your containers and works well on tighter sites, while inner mounting maximises the covered workspace between them.

Shelters we trust to run our own depot

We use Container Shelters across our own depots to extend covered workspace by over 50%, giving our team the space to work year-round. Our business depends on the product, so we only stock shelters we’d put our own name behind.

Up to 15°C cooler

Fabric shelters reflect heat instead of trapping it, keeping the workspace underneath significantly cooler than a traditional steel shed. Translucent fabric lets in natural light too, cutting energy costs.

Customise it to your site

Choose your shelter and container size. Add partial or full end walls, doors, or guttering. Pick side opening containers underneath for instant access from inside the sheltered area.

Engineered for Australia

Our shelters are made in Australia with galvanised steel framing and HDPE fabric, rated for winds up to 248 km/h. Every build is backed by a 10-year warranty covering the frame & cover.

Sheds & Shelters FAQs

Have a question that’s not listed here? We’re here to help. Contact us and get the answers you need from our friendly team.

Ask a Question

  • Our Standard Height Shipping Containers and Container Shelter Domes can reach up to 7 meters in height. To increase the shelter’s height, you can opt for High-Cube Shipping Containers or stack General Purpose Containers. Our knowledgeable team is available to provide guidance on whether this option is suitable for your selected shelter.

  • The key step is to ensure your Shipping Containers are placed on a level surface, with the necessary spacing to accommodate the container shelter. Our friendly team can guide you on the requirements and let you know if your shelter will need foundation anchorage or ballast weight, so you can properly prepare your container area.

  • Yes, we offer a range of accessories to customise your Shipping Container Shelter to meet your needs. You can choose from a partial end wall (for dome shelters), a full end wall (for all shelters), Colorbond color options (for rural shelters), and guttering (for rural shelters).

  • Shipping Container Shelters are fully relocatable. When bolted rather than welded, they can be easily removed and moved to a new location as needed. You can keep them in place for as long as you want or relocate them whenever necessary – the choice is yours.

  • Shipping Container Shelters are typically built using two or more Standard Shipping Containers that serve as the foundation for a Larger Fabric Dome or Metal Shed Shelter. The shelter is attached to the roof of the containers, and depending on your selected size, it can either be bolted or welded securely to the top rail.

    Comprehensive installation instructions for your Shipping Container Shelter will be provided. We’ve streamlined the construction process to ensure the fastest and easiest installation on your site. With the right level of assistance, Shipping Container Shelters can be set up in under a day. If you need help assembling your shelter, you may want to consider hiring a local tradesperson.

  • Shipping Container Shelters can be used to create a covered, protected space between two Shipping Containers. This combination offers a comprehensive solution, providing both secure storage and a spacious, sheltered area.
