Mounting options

One width, mounted your way.

Mount inside to inside for the quoted clear span, or outside to outside to bring the containers under cover as well. Either option works on single or double-stacked containers.

The mounting geometry is the same across our range. Diagrams show a smaller span for illustration.
Inside to inside mounted container shelter, single stack Standard

Inside to Inside - Single Stack

The shelter mounts to the inner edges of the containers. The quoted span is the clear space between them.

  • Our standard configuration
  • Span measured between containers
  • Lowest overall height
Outside to outside mounted container shelter, single stack

Outside to Outside - Single Stack

The shelter mounts to the outer edges of the containers, so the containers sit under cover as well as the space between them.

  • Wider overall covered width
  • Containers protected under the roof
  • Lowest overall height
Inside to inside mounted container shelter, double stacked

Inside to Inside - Double Stack

Mounted inside to inside on containers stacked two high, for extra height clearance under the shelter.

  • Extra height clearance
  • Span measured between containers
  • Two containers high
Outside to outside mounted container shelter, double stacked

Outside to Outside - Double Stack

Mounted outside to outside on double-stacked containers, combining the widest covered area with maximum height clearance.

  • Widest covered area
  • Extra height clearance
  • Two containers high

The Container Shelters difference

KeeperTrack

12 Years of Continuous Improvement.

2016 Previous generation
Earlier Container Shelters end wall edge fixing system

Industry standard edge fixing

Our earlier end wall system relied on a more conventional edge-fixing method.

  • More visible fabric movement
  • Less consistent long-term tension
  • Noisy in a wind event
  • More manual adjustment
2026 KeeperTrack today
KeeperTrack continuous bead in an aluminium extrusion

KeeperTrack

A Keder bead slides into a precision aluminium extrusion for a cleaner, tighter finish.

  • Maintains more consistent fabric tension
  • Cleaner, more premium appearance
  • Reduced movement in strong winds
  • Silent in a wind event

Built from more than 12 years of real-world experience.

After supplying thousands of shelters, we redesigned the way our end walls attach to the container. KeeperTrack is the result.

We don't just sell shelters. We continually improve them.
