Bay of Islands College
A covered space built for daily school use — shelter from sun and rain that works as teaching space, storage and gathering area without the cost or disruption of a permanent build.
Bay of Islands College is one of a growing number of schools, colleges and campuses using container shelters to add usable covered space inside a school budget and timeframe.

Covered Space Within Reach Of A School Budget
Most schools don't need another building — they need somewhere out of the weather for PE, for the ag unit, for the ride-on and the gear that currently lives outside. A container shelter delivers that at a fraction of a conventional build, and goes up in days rather than across a term.
Will It Cover The Court?
Every width in the range has its clear span, rise and overall apex height listed on its own page, on both standard and Hi-Cube containers.
Check the figures against your court dimensions and your site plan before you talk to anyone. They are also the numbers a board paper or building approval application needs, so you can start the process without waiting on a quote.
Schools And Campuses Using Our Shelters
Container shelters in daily use at high schools, colleges and tertiary campuses.
14m x 40ft Shelter

Common Questions From Property Managers
Practical answers to the questions we get asked most by schools, boards and campus property teams.
Do we need building approval for a school shelter?
Approval requirements vary by state and local council. Size, intended 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, and the documentation your own property approval process needs.
Can it be installed during a term break?
Usually. Installation is typically measured in days rather than weeks, and because there are no conventional foundations there is far less groundwork than a permanent build. Timing depends on size and site access, which we confirm when quoting.
How much of a court or play area can we cover?
Clear spans run from 6m through to 24m between containers, in lengths from 20ft up to 100ft or custom. Every span, rise and apex height is listed on the individual shelter pages so you can check it against your court or hardcourt dimensions directly.
Can we start open and enclose it later?
Yes. End walls are modular, so a shelter can be installed open and enclosed later as budget allows. Doors, half walls and full end walls can all be added without replacing the structure.
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. Exposure, elevation, span and mounting method all affect the design.
Does it have to be mounted on containers?
No. Shelters can be mounted on containers, block walls, or timber or steel posts. Post mounting is often preferred on school grounds where containers would look out of place or restrict access.
Can it be moved if the site master plan changes?
Yes. Because there are no conventional foundations, the structure can be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere on the grounds if the site plan changes.
Do you install Australia-wide?
We supply Australia-wide and can arrange installation. Ask us about installers for your area.
