Benefits

Our post sets allow you to build a dome shelter on a smaller footprint compared to using 2 shipping containers. Traditionally, container dome shelters are attached to the inside of 2 shipping containers, where each container measures approximately 2.44m wide.  However, with a one container and a post-rail setup, 36m2 of weatherproof space is available, you just need less floor area to build the structure.

For instance, a typical 2 x container and dome shelter setup means each container is 2.44m wide, plus the width of the shelter itself. For a 20ft (6m) wide dome shelter, the total length of the footprint is (6m +4.88m = 10.8m). Using a 2 x shipping container configuration, you’ll need a minimum of a 10.8m wide x 6m deep space to fit the entire shelter. In addition to that, we recommend at least an additional 1m safe working zone around the entire shelter footprint.

Using a single post set with one 20 ft/6 m shipping container and a 20ft/6m wide dome shelter, all you need is an 8.8m wide x 6m deep footprint (plus 1m clearance all around). Basically, if you don’t have the space, and you’ve only got one shipping container, the container and post-rail set is a good option – and the undercover area remains at 36.2.

Single row post shelters are available in the following spans:
Note: The post kit + dome shelter and cover are sold separately. Basically, you purchase the post-rail set, then the dome shelter to suit the desired width/span that meets your needs.

• 20ft wide domes (6m)
• 26ft wide domes (8m)
• 30ft wide domes (9m)
• 33ft wide domes (10m)
• 40ft wide domes (12m)

Multi-use shelter

To really make use of your space (especially if you’re looking for a multi-use shelter), a single shipping container with a post set on the left side and a post set on the right side is a smart solution. With this configuration, you can still secure your items in the lockable container and have massive undercover storage areas either side of the shipping container. Using a single 12 foot (6m) shipping container and 2 post-rail sets means 72m2 of under space, plus 14.4m2 of shipping container storage, a whopping 86.4m2 of weatherproof storage at your disposal.

Post set and rail configuration

See our setup guides for spacing of the support posts.

Base plate, eaves bearer and truss connector assembly.

Assembling the posts and eaves rail requires some basic welding. The roof base plate connectors are welded to the main post set eaves rail. From there, the roof trusses are bolted to each of the base plates.
