What is a container shelter?
A container shelter is a steel-frame canopy with a heavy tarpaulin cover that mounts on top of two shipping containers placed side by side. The containers act as the walls and the canopy becomes the roof, creating a large covered area without pouring a foundation.
They are popular on farms, construction sites, yards and workshops to protect machinery, vehicles, hay, materials and work areas from rain, snow and sun. Many models can also add end walls, doors and roll-up panels to close the space.
Who uses them
Farms & ranches
Covered storage for tractors, implements, hay and feed, and a dry place to work on equipment.
Construction sites
Temporary cover for tools, materials and machines that can be moved to the next job.
Workshops & yards
An affordable covered bay for repairs, fabrication or vehicle storage next to existing containers.
1. Get the size right
Shelters are sold by width (the gap between the two containers) and depth (usually matched to 20 ft or 40 ft containers). Larger commercial versions also list the peak height.
| Typical size | Container setup | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 20' W × 20' D | Two 20 ft containers | Compact tractor or vehicle bay, small workshop |
| 20' W × 40' D | Two 40 ft containers | Several vehicles, implements, longer work area |
| 40' W × 40' D and up | Two 40 ft containers, wider span | Large machinery, hay storage, commercial yards |
Measure the real distance between your containers and their height (standard containers are 8'6" tall, high-cube containers 9'6") before choosing a model.
2. Compare what matters
- Frame: single vs. double truss. Double truss frames handle wider spans and heavier loads.
- Steel gauge: lower gauge numbers mean thicker tubing (12 GA is heavier than 18 GA).
- Cover fabric: PE is lighter and cheaper; PVC is heavier and usually lasts longer.
- Snow and wind rating: check the published loads against your local climate.
- Anchoring: how the frame fixes to the containers and to the ground.
3. Before you order online
- Total cost: price, shipping, taxes and any add-ons such as end walls.
- Delivery: how it ships and what you need on site to unload it.
- Assembly: crew size, equipment needed (lift or telehandler) and instructions.
- Warranty: what covers the frame and what covers the fabric.
- Replacement parts: spare covers and panels available later.
- Permits: check local rules for temporary or permanent structures.

The people working with me on the 20ft by 33ft storage building have been very helpful and have kept continual contact with me regarding the delivery of the building. They also sent me the building plans for putting it together. I can highly recommend them for all of your storage building needs! Keith
We were very impressed with my communication with Ginny in NY. She was my first contact on seeing the Gates online on Market Place. Once I got a confirmation from Ginny that they had the 14’ gates we wanted with the Deer Design at the warehouse in North Highlands. So we made the payment with a link that Ginny gave us. It worked seamlessly and we got the order number to take with us to receive our Gates. The price was lower and we were happy about that! We haven’t installed them yet. But we got these wonderful gates to celebrate our 40th anniversary! They will be installed on our entrsncewsyvyobthrvprpertyg

Frequently asked questions
Do the containers need to be the same height?
Yes, for a level canopy the two containers should be the same height and placed parallel on firm, level ground. Check the manufacturer's installation guide for the exact spacing.
Can I close the ends?
Many shelters offer optional front and back panels, including versions with roll-up or winch doors. Confirm they are available for the exact size you buy.
How long does the cover last?
It depends on the fabric type, sun exposure and weather. Heavier PVC covers generally last longer than PE. Look for UV-treated fabric and ask whether replacement covers are sold separately.
Do I need a permit?
Rules vary by county and state, and by whether the structure is temporary or permanent. Check with your local building department before installing.
