20ft x 40ft Container Shelter
The 20ft x 40ft Container Shelter from Golden Marquees & Structures Ltd is a durable, container-mounted canopy system designed to maximise protected storage space for industrial, agricultural and construction environments across the UK and Ireland.
Built with a hot-dip galvanised steel frame manufactured from high-grade steel tubing and supplied with a heavy-duty PVC-coated polyester cover, this shelter provides reliable protection against wind, rain and UV exposure. The extended 40ft (12m) length offers increased covered capacity, making it suitable for vehicle storage, machinery protection and operational overflow space.
The 20ft x 40ft model can be securely mounted to standard shipping containers using the supplied butterfly bolts and connector systems. It can also be installed on concrete lego blocks or alternative support structures. Optional front and rear panels are available to create enclosed or semi-enclosed configurations where additional weather protection is required.
