Temporary Shelters at SEA Containers
Need a temporary shelter for your business or organisation? SEA Containers has you covered.
Our container shelters and modified shipping containers are both temporary shelters built to withstand the elements. Container shelters are more suitable for large-scale industrial applications, like bulk storage and workshops. Meanwhile, modified shipping containers offer a smaller, covered space for temporary offices, pop-up stores, emergency medical clinics, and more.
Find out more about our temporary shelters in the guide below.
Container Shelters
A container shelter is a temporary shelter that consists of two shipping containers with a steel-framed fabric cover in between. In smaller container shelters, the frame usually connects to the containers without welding, making it easy to dismantle the shelter for relocation. Combined with the fact that you don’t need to build a foundation, container shelters are an affordable way to protect stored goods and workspaces from the wind, rain, and other elements.
Container Shelter Benefits
Larger Size Range
Our container shelter sizes start at 20ft and reach a maximum of 60ft. That’s plenty of space for protecting machinery and tools, providing wind and rain cover for on-site staff, or working on cars and boats. These large shelters are perfect for construction sites, military posts, farms, and more.
Portable
Container shelters are built to be quick to put up and take down. Our 20ft and 40ft covers can be attached to the containers with bolts or clamps—no welding involved. When you need to move the shelter to another property, simply take it apart and put the dismantled pieces in the containers. You don’t need to build a foundation for a container shelter, making them easy to set up on any site with a relatively level surface.
Cost-Effective
Because container shelters don’t require a foundation, they’re much quicker and cheaper to set up compared to permanent shelters (such as sheds or barnhouses). Container shelters are especially cost-effective when you take advantage of B-grade containers. These boxes have been used before, but they’re still structurally sound enough to serve as the base for your shelter.
Our Container Shelter Options
SEA Containers partners with reputable shelter suppliers to deliver container shelters built with quality materials that can take on the extreme conditions of NZ weather. These shelters are available in three sizes: 20ft, 40ft, and 60ft.
Modified Shipping Containers
Shipping containers are perfect for modifying into temporary shelters. Made with corten steel, their strength offers lasting protection against the elements. Shipping containers are big enough to allow ample room for various applications but small enough to be transported anywhere via a tilt-bed truck. We can modify your container with a combination of doors, windows, ventilation systems, insulation, and more. Our shipping containers have been used as bus shelters, pop-up retail stores, emergency medical clinics, and temporary classrooms.
Modified Shipping Container Benefits
Varying Sizes and Uses
We supply shipping containers in three standard sizes: 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft. We also have high-cube 20ft and 40ft containers designed with 30cm extra vertical space. A variety of sizes means a variety of business, community, and personal uses—compact 10ft containers can be transformed into kiosks or food stands, while larger 40ft containers can be turned into classrooms or even homes.
Customisability
Our container modifications are only as restricted as your imagination. Get roller doors or PA doors for easy access. Install ventilation to improve airflow inside or add insulation for comfort. We even offer the choice of power capability, including lighting and power points. The great potential for customisability makes modified containers ideal for any temporary shelter.
Security
Shipping containers are designed to transport goods and machinery across large distances, so it stands to reason that they’re built with security and strength in mind. Made of corrosion-resistant materials, they ensure an enclosed, weatherproof shelter. Need extra protection? We can modify your container with a trusty lockbox.
