40ft x 40ft Double Trussed Container Shelter
The 40ft x 40ft Double Trussed Container Shelter from Golden Marquees & Structures Ltd is a reinforced, heavy-duty canopy system designed to create secure covered space between shipping containers. Engineered for demanding industrial, agricultural and construction environments across the UK and Ireland, this model offers enhanced structural strength and increased wind resistance.
Built with a robust double trussed hot-dip galvanised steel frame and heavy-duty PVC-coated polyester fabric, this container-mounted shelter is designed for long-term performance in exposed conditions. Supplied with base plates for welding directly to container edges, it forms a secure and stable covered bay once installed.
With its 40ft span and upgraded wind load rating, this model is ideal for high-wind locations, larger vehicles, plant machinery and aircraft storage. Optional front and rear panels are available to create a more enclosed solution where required.
