Chapter 6: How do you Install a Container Shelter?

You can position the shipping containers door to door with the fabric cover shelters coming in varying widths, heights and sizes.

The most important part of a shelter is how faster they are installed and how comfortably. Here are five methods applied to set up a container shelter:

1. Measurement

Take the measurements of the space you want to place the containers.

They should be positioned to the actual measurements of theshelter stretch – measuring at the containers top.

After noting the measurements on paper, it’s advisable to use spray paint or string where you should position the structure.

Additionally, tilting the containers to the outside edge slightly help in draining away rainwater.

2. Welding of Base Plate and Top rail

Positionthe given base plates upon your shipping container and weld them on.

Base Rail Brackets are provided for all distinct shelter varieties and useswith either a shipping container mount or a wall/pole mount.

3. Hoops

The ability to assemble both the Shipping Containers and the Shelters enableshelters become precise for your mining, farm equipment and storage.

Chapter 7: What are the Factors to Consider before Buying a Container Shelter?

Since there are several manufacturers, you need to consider the following factors before choosing a container shelter:

· Strength of Materials

The strength and longevity of a container shelter narrows down to the materials used.

Thin-gauge steel frames and inferior quality metals could result in excessive flexing or buckling that could totally jeopardize the structure.

Low strength materials can even lead to catastrophic collapse of structure.

· Certified Design and Engineering

Like any other building, a container shelter needs financial investment which is at risk when it cannot sustain long term use or adverse weather.

While majority of container mounted shelters advertise durability with their products, this aids to know that what you buy will endure with more guarantee.

· Toughness in Extreme Weather

One of the key features of high-end container shelter is their excellent toughness under the impacts of extreme climates and harsh weather.

They can withstand heavy storms and snow loads and high winds, even for prolonged durations in dangerous environments.

The fabric cover design should also ensure shedding of snow and maximum resistance to abrasion, in addition to withstanding extreme weather.

· Complying with Building Codes

Your container mounted shelter of choice should comply with the International Building Codes standards for safety.

Moreover, it can be modelled to meet extra area- or region-specific building code stipulations.

There are some locations that have mitigating situations that call for extra safety and security measures with buildings and systems.

A specially-designed container shelter may be the best choice, an inexpensive option to using other kinds of shelter.

· Versatility of Use

Applications of modern container shelters are far more than basic storage facilities.

You can customize the shelters endlessly, from flexible equipment fittings and sizing to extra protective installations and HVAC systems.

This makes them most ideal option to any other type of shelter.

Chapter 8: How Strong are Container Shelters?

Majority of container shelters are able to endure significant climate, but it all return to how well you have fixed your shelter down.

Many come with earth augers and stakes for protecting down on to the ground.

Another way, if installing upon concrete pads, dyna bolts or concrete screw bolts can be used.

The fabric applied on all shelters is too firm rip-stop material.

This fabric is UV stabilized and waterproof.

To make sure the sheet remains well stretched upon the frame of your movable shelter at all times will guarantee a lengthy life and not causing stress on your shelter frame in windy conditions.

Unfastened sheets must be re-stretched instantly.

Chapter 9: Do Container Shelter require Maintenance after Installation?

During installation, make sure that the sheet of your shelter is properly stretched and always inspect that this stretch is preserved at all times.

Perfect stretch implies you should get it impossible to squeeze your hand between frame and the sheet.

Make sure that the choke ropes at the front and back left tied off, and tight.

Ensure that the ratchet straps stay well stretched and in position.

Do not take away any ratchet straps without substituting them, or loosen any choke ropes or wires without making sure they are protected after.

Inspect regularly and substitute where it is required.

A proper stretched sheet implies that it will not rub or wear on the frame of the shelter.

An untied and flapping sheet will pull and exert pressure on your frame, as well as causing points of wear and friction on the sheet.

Inspect that your shelter is tremendously left strongly joined to the surface you have installed it on.

Make sure augers and stakes are regularly protected to avoid movement.

Ensure that your frame is left bolted strongly and fixed.

Bungees will need substitution regularly so that they are left stretchable and strongly fitted.  Substitute bungees are available for purchase.

Clean your shelter down often with a soft brush and hose.  Do not water blast or use any severe or rough chemicals to clean.

40ft Container Shelter

                                                                      Figure 4 Gable container shelter

·  Polyethylene Fabric

With standard weight of 260gsm and 320gsm for heavier grade polyethylene fabric, it has greater higher strength to weight ratio.

This makes the fabric light weight easier to handle, ship and pull over the steel structure.

When the fabric has a patch, it can easily be mended using glue or bitumen tape and it may last for a period of 8-12 years.

· PVC Fabric

Most container shelters use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabric because it is a more robust, tear-resistant, UV resistant fabric in fabric structures.

PVC fabric has translucency up to 12% (which may eliminate the need for artificial lighting during the day).

PVC fabric is sturdy and long lasting and is available in a wide variety of weights and colors.

Chapter 11: Is the Fabric Roof of Container Shelter UV Stabilized?

The incredibly strong composite membranes that cover the buildings are UV stabilized.

Therefore, they can be used in the harshest environments. Similarly, they transmit enough light to work during daylight operation.

Additionally, they remain impervious to wind, rain, snow and chemical attack.

Chapter 12: How Long does the Fabric used in Container Shelter Last?

Typically, the lifespan of 260gsm or 320gsm polyethylene container shelter fabric will last for approximately 8 to 12 years.

On the other hand, 600gsm, 800gsm 900gsm or 1200gsm will all have a lifespan ranging from 10 to 12 years.

However, the durability of the fabric cover relies on the UV rays strength and weather harshness.

The damage as a result of UV radiation can be dreadful, though the degree of damage differ with location.

Due to this fact, most container shelter covers are UV stabilized to moderate the process of deterioration.

However, to ensure optimal performance, always make sure to maintain tension of the fabric shelter.

Chapter 13: What are the Standard Dimensions of Shipping Containers used in Container Shelter?

Shipping containers are designed and fabricated to the International Standard Organization (ISO) requirements.

The roof and wall are made using folded sheet metal of 1.905 mm thickness. As well, the corner casting is of cannular steel frame of 4.572 mm.

ISO containers are made to a standard width by height of 2.438 m × 2.591 m. Lengthwise, the two popular lengths are 12.192m (commonly known as 40-ft container and 6.96m (commonly known as 20-ft container.

Nevertheless, there are special types of ISO container referred to as High Cube container. These are 40-ft containers with 2.896m height.

  • It is cheap given that there is no installation of foundation and materials used are not costly compared to that of ground mounted shelter.
  • It is easy to install since its installation process is short and requires less skilled personnel to install.
  • It saves space due to its small size and a number of them can be stacked to increase rooms.
  • It can be dismantled and relocated to another location should there be need because of its portability and mobility nature. Unlike ground mounted shelter that is fixed to the foundation.
