What are container canopy roofs used for?

The advantage of using a roof between two unused containers is that it transforms wasted space into something useful.

What you do with that now unwasted space can be up to you. SteelMaster Buildings container roof system kits offer a clear span design, providing 100% usable space which is perfect for industrial, commercial, or construction environments.

Some of our most popular applications include, but certainly aren’t limited to:

  • Storage buildings
  • Onsite heavy equipment cover
  • Workshops
  • Offices

Which edge should the roof be placed upon?

Roofs can be attached to either the inside edges or outside edges of the two containers, referred to as “inside mounts” and “outside mounts.” Roofs on the inside edge decrease the size of the metal roof used, but doesn’t cover the shipping containers themselves.

Roofs on the outside edge are larger and enclose the entirety of the footprint of the building. Outside mounts clear water from the roof and allow for extra dry storage on top of boxes

The advantage of inside mounts make the roof narrower, stronger, and uses less material.

FAQ’s

How much does it cost to ship the shipping container canopy and do you ship throughout the United States?

Shipping containers themselves can act as the structural base to your building, saving you time and money. It is important to make sure the ground is level before you place your containers at your build site. This is because leveling your building will provide a uniform base for your shipping container building.

If the ground is not level, your building could lean to one side and your roof panels, sides and ends may not line up properly.

Prepare your site before leveling by removing items that could affect the base quality, like:

  • Debris
  • Rocks
  • Tree and tree roots
  • Additionally, make sure there is enough room to allow workers and equipment to move around your site.

What container canopy size is the right one for me?

Most of our customers looking for a small container roof size, buy a roof 20 ft wide which is enough for their needs, however this is based on individual needs, usage and location.

If you want to get the best value for money, we recommend opting for a roof 40 or 60 feet wide. It is also important to remember that there is no limit to the number of containers that can be stacked on top of each other, allowing you to have a larger or higher structure while maintaining reasonable costs while providing an additional storage compartment.

 Is it difficult to install a container?

The containers are very versatile. They can be assembled and installed easily and quickly to provide protected storage or working space. Now when it comes to our roofs for containers since our systems can be permanent or portable, you can either weld or bold, if you’re looking for a permanent space resistance to storms or hurricanes then you should weld that to your containers, now by bolding it, your structure can be easily moved to the next job site once the work is finished.

The shipping company unloads the container roof kit?

No, they only take care of bringing the product to your door, it is necessary that you have a forklift otherwise you must tell us in advance to make the reservation and make an extra payment of $75.

Can I do the installation externally on the containers?

Of course, you can, you must take into consideration that when you do this you lose the width of the containers.

How do you attach a roof to a shipping container canopy?

There are two options if you want something temporary you can bolt them on or if you want something more fixed you can weld it and this will give it more support.

How resistant they are against hurricanes?

If there is a hurricane and it exceeds 60mph you need to remove the cover, if the structure is welded, it will withstand the hurricane without problems. For a hurricane we recommend anchoring the containers to the ground because very strong winds can move the containers and bend the structure.

Can I join several shipping container roofs together?

You can join them together but it is necessary that the widths match and it is necessary to sew the covers together.

How far apart should I separate the containers to prepare the installation?

It all depends on the width of the shipping container roof kit, to find the answer to this question you need to go to our manuals page to see your case.
