Job Site.
Site compounds, material protection, covered workspaces and plant storage — engineered shelter solutions for contractors across Australia.
TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND SINCE 2014
Engineered to AS/NZS 1170
Engineering support available for site-specific requirements.
10-Year Warranty
Full replacement warranty on all shelter parts.
Built For Australian Conditions
Designed for wind, weather and demanding worksites.
Sheltex 650gsm PVC Cover
Our own heavy-duty PVC with a sealed outer finish.
Operating Since 2014
Over a decade supplying shelters across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
VIP Frame & Truss
VIP Frame & Truss already had over 200m of shelter across their operation when demand required another rapid expansion. With a fast engineering turnaround, we delivered and installed 100m of 21m wide shelter in a single stage.
They now have approximately 400m of shelter installed across their branches, making them one of our largest repeat customers — covered space added without disrupting production.
Built For The Way Sites Actually Run
From site compounds and material storage through to fabrication bays, plant protection and covered work areas, container shelters are used on construction projects of every kind.
Site Compounds
Material Storage
Fabrication & Assembly
Plant & Equipment Cover
Covered Workspaces
Yard & Laydown Areas
Covered Space, Without The Build Programme
Construction programmes move fast. Container shelters give you large covered areas in days rather than months, with no conventional foundations and the option to relocate as the job changes.
Brighter. Cooler. Built For Australian Conditions.
Unlike darker covers commonly used throughout the industry, our white Sheltex 650gsm PVC cover reflects heat, improves natural light and creates a brighter working environment throughout the day.
We put a white cover and a grey cover side by side on a 30°C day and measured both. The white sat at 31°C. The grey reached 50°C. On site that means better visibility for crews, less reliance on temporary lighting, and a cover that is not stretching and needing re-tensioning through summer.
Real Sites. Real Projects.

Over 3,500 shelters installed across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
From site compounds and material storage through to fabrication bays, contractor yards and long-term industrial cover, Container Shelters has become one of the most widely used container shelter systems in New Zealand, now supplied across Australia.

Common Questions About Site Shelters
Practical answers to the most common questions about shelters on construction sites.
Do I need building approval for a container shelter on site?
Approval requirements vary by state and local council. Size, use and how long the structure will remain in place also play a part. We can supply the engineering documents your council or certifier asks for.
Can the shelter be relocated when the job finishes?
Yes. Because the shelters mount to containers, blocks or poles rather than conventional foundations, they can be dismantled and relocated to the next site.
How quickly can a shelter be installed?
Many projects are completed within days rather than months. Timing depends on size, site access and engineering requirements, which we confirm as part of your quote.
Can we install on an existing hardstand or concrete pad?
Yes. Shelters can be installed over existing surfaces, and can be mounted on containers, block walls, timber or steel posts depending on the site.
What wind regions are your shelters suitable for?
Our shelters are engineered to AS/NZS 1170.2. Wind rating is confirmed for your site and wind region through site-specific structural certification. Site exposure, elevation, shelter size and mounting method all influence the design, so we assess each project individually.
Can I add end walls, doors or gutters later?
Yes. End walls, access doors, gutter systems and other accessories can often be added as site requirements evolve.
How long do container shelters last?
Our shelters use heavy-duty galvanised steel frames and premium Sheltex 650gsm PVC covers, backed by a 10-year replacement warranty. Replacement covers are available if required in the future.
Do you install Australia-wide?
