Customization options for your conex container cover are plentiful. You can choose from endwalls, accessories, and doors to suit your needs.

Endwalls are not required for open-ended structures, but can be customized for fully enclosed container buildings, including steel endwalls, doors, and skylights.

For open-ended structures, you won't need any accessories to complete the building. However, for fully enclosed structures, steel endwalls, doors, and skylights are common options.

The type of door you need will depend on your specific requirements, including man and/or garage doors.

Here's a quick rundown of the types of doors you can choose from:

Our shipping container covers are designed to protect your valuable cargo from the elements. They're made with heavy-duty vinyl that's industrial strength, making them tear-resistant and mildew-resistant.

These covers are perfect for 20-foot and 40-foot open-top containers, providing a secure and dry space for your cargo. Their slick surface makes cleaning a breeze.

The industrial strength vinyl used in our covers can withstand rain, snow, wind, flying debris, or pests, giving you peace of mind when shipping your goods.

A partially enclosed container cover is perfect for bulk storage, allowing large equipment to drive inside and easily maneuver throughout the structure.

This type of structure is common in various industries and is often used for temporary storage needs.

You can create a partial endwall by moving another container against the back of the structure.

This flexibility makes partially enclosed container covers a great solution for events, emergency situations, or temporary storage needs.

In terms of size, partially enclosed container covers can be designed to fit a variety of container sizes, from 20-foot to 40-foot long containers.

Here are some key features to consider when designing a partially enclosed container cover:

Tie-down grommets are a type of cover that feature grommets at the corners and along the sides.

These grommets allow for secure fastening to lashing bars or rings of a container using a TIR cable.

TIR stands for Transports Internationaux Routiers, a customs convention for the international transportation of goods.

TIR cables are used in the open-top container and truck tarpaulin industries.

Your container may already be equipped with roof bows that support the tarp cover. Please note that we do not supply these ribs.

If your container has roof bows, they're designed to provide structural support to the tarp cover, which is essential for withstanding various weather conditions.

Roof Mounting Options are a crucial consideration when working with shipping containers. There are three main ways to attach a roof to containers.

You can attach a roof to the inside edges or outside edges of the containers, which are referred to as "inside mounts" and "outside mounts." Inside mounts are ideal for adding endwalls and enclosing space.

Mounting a roof on top of two shipping containers is also an option for large industrial-scale projects. This allows for extra dry storage on top of conex boxes and provides a roof that completely covers the containers.

Here are the benefits of each mounting option:

To protect the contents of your conex container, it's essential to safeguard them from the elements.

Conex container covers are designed to provide a waterproof seal to prevent rain and moisture from entering the container.

Using a conex container cover can help prevent damage to your contents and extend the lifespan of the container.

To ensure compliance with local regulations, it's crucial to check with your local authorities to determine if there are any specific rules or restrictions on using conex containers.

Some areas may require permits or licenses to use conex containers, so it's essential to research and obtain any necessary documentation before using one.

The size of your container cover building is determined by the number of containers you use, their size, and how you arrange them.

Shipping containers typically range in size between 20′ and 40′ long, with a standard height of 8’ 6”.

You can choose a building width between 20′ and 50′ wide, with the smallest suggested width being 20′ and the largest spanning 50′ wide.

SteelMaster's custom-designed container cover structures can be wider than 50′, but these are tailored to meet specific load requirements.

Shipping container covers are a cost-effective way to protect valuable equipment and supplies. They can be reused multiple times, making them a more affordable option in the long run.

In the construction industry, these container covers protect building supplies from extreme weather, reducing the risk of damage and costly repairs. This can be especially important in areas prone to harsh weather conditions.

Farmers in Alaska use shipping container covers to shield their harvests and farming tools from bad weather, ensuring their crops remain dry and safe. This helps to prevent losses and maintain a steady food supply.

Event organizers in Alaska can also benefit from using shipping container covers to protect equipment from sudden rain or harsh sunlight, keeping it dry and in good shape until the event starts.

Our Conex container covers are incredibly versatile and can be customized to fit your specific needs. They can attach to two shipping containers and come in a range of widths, including 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 feet.

They're designed for outdoor use and can withstand harsh weather conditions like snow, ice, wind, and even fire. We're so confident in their durability that we offer a 40-year rust perforation warranty.

The containers themselves need to be level and square in relation to each other for the covers to attach properly.

There are several types of shipping container covers, each designed to meet specific needs and requirements. Container tarps are large, heavy-duty tarpaulins placed over open-top shipping containers to protect cargo from rain, snow, and other harsh weather conditions.

They are usually made from waterproof and durable materials such as polyethylene or nylon, and may have reinforced edges and secure tie-down straps to ensure a tight and secure fit over the container. Container tarps are a great option for short-term protection.

Container canopies are permanent or semi-permanent structures built over a shipping container or a group of containers, providing long-term protection against the elements. They can be used for various purposes, including storage and workspaces.

Container canopies are typically made from metal frames with fabric or metal roofing panels, and are designed to withstand heavy winds, snow loads, and other environmental factors. They offer a more permanent solution for shipping container protection.

Container covers are protective covers placed directly on top of shipping containers, helping to prevent water accumulation, snow and ice buildup, and UV damage to the container's surface and the cargo inside. These covers can be made from durable and weather-resistant materials.

Container covers may come with grommets or tie-downs for easy attachment and secure fitting, making them a convenient option for shipping container owners. They are a great way to add an extra layer of protection to your shipping containers.

Here are some common types of shipping container covers:

Container windbreaks are barriers designed to protect shipping containers from strong winds, helping to prevent the container from swaying and reduce the risk of damage to the cargo during high winds. They can be made from metal panels, heavy-duty tarps, or other durable materials.

Custom shipping container covers are designed and manufactured to meet specific requirements, including unique features such as custom printing, specific dimensions, and additional pockets or openings for access. They ensure a perfect fit and provide the desired level of protection for the cargo.
