Installing a 40FT Shipping Container Shelter | Expanding The Workshop! | Part 2

See how we install our 40ft shipping container shelter dome and cover without any instructions! The weather wasn’t the best for this installation but it needed to get done and we soon realised after unpacking the kit that there was NO instruction manual supplied. But we had already hired a 4WD trailer mounted boom lift for the day so decided to get it done anyway. This shelter dome is 40ft long x 40ft wide and 6 metres tall and will be installed between our two 40ft shipping containers. This is going to be a great upgrade for our outside welding & fabrication area!

I've said it before but I'm constantly fascinated in how your mind works with mechanical issues and problem solving.

[@fromcitytogritty9122]

I have 6 of these at my place. On my second year with them. So far I have been happy. Piece of advice: The brackets That attach to the containers need to be welded to the containers or at a minimum the Allen keys checked monthly. They do back out and slip off. Had 2 shelters fail on the same day where they slipped off the square tubing on the top of the container. Bent up the frame a bit and I had to remove all my junk to get them repaired. Also everything underneath does still get wet in the rain because they are so tall with or without the wall up. Good luck. Love my extra shade.

[@chestervaldes7551]

Yes, I think I would add the welds as the massive square footage of the canvas can create huge lifting forces on the frame, even with a moderate breeze- anybody with any sailing experience knows what I'm talking about.

A surprise video to be sure but a welcome one. Container shelters are awesome for all kinds of work for all trades. We’ve used one in line with a smoko hut container and on those 40+ degree days a shaded work area is a god send and being so close to an air conditioned ice box was fantastic. I can attest to these kits not coming with instruction manuals but with a quick KZbin video they aren’t too bad to put up.
