12m Container Dome Overview
The 12m container dome is the wide-span solution for operations that need serious covered storage without building a permanent structure. Two 40ft containers sit parallel at 12 metres apart, a heavy-duty galvanised steel truss spans the gap, and UV-resistant commercial fabric is tensioned over the frame. You get 144 square metres of covered storage – enough to park multiple vehicles, stack bulk materials three pallets deep, or shelter large plant and machinery.
The truss is engineered for the span – hot-dip galvanised steel, bolted to the containers via ISO corner castings, rated for wind loads up to Region C (cyclone upgrades available for Region D at +25-35%). The fabric is commercial-grade PVC or polyethylene, UV-stabilised, and tensioned to prevent sagging or flapping in high winds.
Setup takes two days. Position the containers, bolt the truss, tension the fabric, done. No permanent foundation required – the containers sit on level ground (compacted gravel or concrete pads recommended for long-term installations). The whole structure is relocatable – unbolt it, move the containers, reassemble at the new site.
Supplied & Installed includes the dome structure, fabric, truss, all fixings, and installation labour. Cyclone rating upgrades are quoted separately.
Containers (if needed) if you already have 40ft containers on site, we can build the dome between them.
