40' × 40' × 15' Double-Truss Container Shelter with Closed Rear Panel

.

Product Overview

Create approximately 1,600 square feet of covered space between two parallel shipping containers with this double-truss dome shelter. This configuration combines a heavy-duty galvanized-steel frame, your selected PE or PVC roof covering, and a closed rear panel for additional protection at one end.

The open front provides convenient access for vehicles, machinery, and materials, while the closed rear panel reduces direct exposure to wind, rain, and debris. A 15-foot canopy height provides generous clearance above the container mounting level for tall equipment and bulk storage arrangements.

Shipping containers are not included. This configuration includes a closed rear panel; a matching front panel is available separately.

Specifications

Available Roof-Cover Options

The selected fabric determines the shelter’s cover weight, durability, warranty, and final configuration.

Warranty

• PE cover: 2-year warranty
• PVC cover: 8-year warranty

Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer’s mounting, installation, welding, tensioning, maintenance, and weather-use requirements.

Required Container Configuration

Install the shelter between two compatible shipping containers positioned parallel to one another. Both containers must be level, properly supported, structurally suitable, and spaced according to the installation manual.

The listed 15-foot height is measured above the container mounting level. Total ground-to-peak height will depend on the height and placement of the supporting containers.

Verify container foundations, alignment, structural condition, drainage, and mounting compatibility before installation. Base plates must be welded to the containers by a qualified professional.

Cover and Snow Maintenance

Maintain uniform cover tension to prevent loose areas where rain or snow could collect. Inspect and retighten the pipe-and-ratchet system after installation and periodically as temperatures change.

Remove accumulated snow promptly whenever it does not slide from the shelter naturally. Regularly inspect the cover, rear panel, trusses, clamps, welds, base plates, ratchets, and container mounting points, particularly after severe weather.
