Maximising storage space while protecting your valuable assets is essential for your business, farm, or residential site. Our container dome mounting options provide versatile solutions that adapt to your specific needs and site requirements.
Container Dome Mounting Options Explained
Our standard igloos are engineered to fit perfectly with General Purpose or High Cube shipping containers, providing reliable protection against Australia’s harsh weather conditions while expanding your usable space.
Container dome shelters can be configured in three main ways: inside mounted, outside mounted, or a combination of both. Each configuration offers unique benefits depending on your specific application and space requirements.
Inside Mounted Configuration
Inside mounting is our standard and most popular configuration. With this setup, the dome structure attaches to the inner edges of your containers, creating a smooth, streamlined appearance.
We recently completed an inside-mounted installation for a electrical installations and repair company in New South Wales. They needed additional protected storage space for sensitive equipment while maintaining a compact footprint. The inside-mounted configuration provided them with a good amount of interior clearance while ensuring outstanding structural integrity in the region’s high winds.
Benefits of inside mounting include:
- Clean aesthetic appearance
- Great structural stability
- Simple installation process
Outside Mounted Configuration
Outside mounting secures the dome structure to the outer edges of your containers, increasing the overall width of your covered area. This means you have more undercover space to work with, which is fantastic when you want to maximise your storage area.
Landscape City, a wholesale landscape material supplier, in Queensland opted for our outside-mounted configuration to create a wider workspace. This allowed them to load supplies under the shelter while using their containers and the tops of the containers for supplies storage.
Advantages of outside mounting include:
- Increased overall width
- Greater flexibility for wider equipment
- Maximised coverage area
- Full container roof protection
Inside/Outside Mounted Configuration
This hybrid approach combines both mounting styles, with one side inside mounted and the other outside mounted. This configuration is perfect for asymmetrical applications or unique site constraints.
We recently helped a construction firm in New South Wales with an inside/outside mounted configuration to accommodate their sloping site conditions. One container row was positioned on higher ground, requiring different mounting positions to create a level shelter.
Benefits of hybrid mounting can include:
- Adaptability to uneven terrain
- Flexibility for unique space requirements
- Custom width options
