Maintenance for Your Australian Dome Container Shelter

A shipping container shelter will last many years, thanks to its durable construction, but still requires maintenance. This will ensure many years of satisfied storage and security for your work site. The team at Container Domes Australia understands every aspect of this maintenance, and you can read our list of helpful tips below. The list includes regular inspections, rust and corrosion management, door hinge and locking bar maintenance, ventilation, seal inspection and regular cleaning. Contact us today for a free quote.

Routinely Inspect Your Container Shelter

Regularly inspect the inside and outside of your shipping container shelter for rust, corrosion or structural damage that can occur because of the weather or worksite accidents.

Treat Rust

Our shipping containers are Corten steel, which is mostly resistant to weathering and corrosion, but spots may appear, and you can treat this with a rust converter.

Inspect Hinges and Locks

Regularly check the door hinges and locking bars for alignment issues and ensure their smooth operation by routinely applying silicone or lubricant.

Maintain Adequate Ventilation

Check any vents in the dome container shelter to prevent the chance of condensation. This is especially important if you use the container to store moisture-sensitive goods, such as dry foods or chemicals.

Inspect All the Seals

Ensure all door seals are water and airtight to provide the shipping container shelter with weatherproofing and security. Replace any damaged seals to prevent moisture or dirt from getting in.

Clean the Container Regularly

Use detergent and water to clean the inside and outside of the dome container shelter. Ensure all chemicals are mild because harsh chemicals may damage any protective paint or coating on the exterior.
