40' × 40' × 13' Container Shelter with Closed Rear Panel

Product Overview

Create approximately 1,600 square feet of covered space between two parallel shipping containers with this large container-mounted shelter. Its 40-by-40-foot footprint provides substantial room for vehicles, machinery, construction materials, commercial inventory, and equipment-staging operations.

A closed rear panel reduces direct exposure at one end, while the open front allows convenient access for vehicles and equipment. The 13-foot arch height provides generous clearance above the supporting containers for tall machinery and bulk storage arrangements.

Shipping containers are not included. This configuration includes a closed rear panel and an open front.

Specifications

Required Container Configuration

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

The listed 13-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 alignment, corner-casting condition, foundation capacity, drainage, and mounting compatibility before installation. Damaged or structurally modified containers should be professionally evaluated before use.

Recommended Applications

This container shelter is well suited for:

• Agricultural machinery and implements
• Trucks, trailers, and recreational vehicles
• Construction and landscaping equipment
• Commercial materials and inventory
• Covered loading or staging areas
• Temporary workshop space
• Fleet and equipment storage
• Maintenance operations

Site Preparation and Installation

Choose a firm, level, well-drained site with sufficient room for container placement, shelter assembly, equipment access, and stormwater management. Verify underground and overhead utilities before installation.

Both containers and the shelter anchoring system must be appropriate for the site’s soil conditions, exposure, intended use, and applicable structural requirements. Confirm permits, setbacks, fire access, and local building codes before installation.

Professional installation is recommended for a container shelter of this size.

Inspection and Maintenance

Maintain proper cover and rear-panel tension throughout the shelter’s service life. Inspect the frame, mounting hardware, anchors, supporting containers, rear panel, and exterior covering regularly.

Remove accumulated snow as required, keep drainage paths clear, and inspect the complete structure following severe weather. Operate and maintain the shelter within its manufacturer-listed wind, snow, and temperature limitations.
