60ft x 40ft Double Trussed Container Shelter
The 60ft x 40ft Double Trussed Container Shelter from Golden Marquees & Structures Ltd is a large-span, reinforced canopy system designed to create substantial covered space between shipping containers. Built for demanding industrial, agricultural and construction environments across the UK and Ireland, this model combines generous internal clearance with enhanced structural strength for reliable year-round use.
Manufactured with a robust double trussed hot-dip galvanised steel frame and heavy-duty PVC-coated polyester fabric, this shelter is designed for long-term outdoor performance. Supplied with base plates for welding directly to container edges, it forms a secure and stable structure once installed.
With a 60ft span, increased internal height and a canopy design with half cover at the ends, this model is well suited to large vehicle storage, plant protection, aviation use and high-capacity covered operational space. Optional front and rear panel customisation is also available.
