Domes can be defined as features that are shaped like the upper side of a sphere. For the past years, architects have made improvements and variations to the older designs, which are enhancements that have led to the emergence of container domes.
Shelter domes are now perceived as versatile containment inventions that are used to protect equipment while increasing work space. They can be installed and deconstructed quite quickly, which makes them easy to relocate.
Sizes
Container domes come in different lengths and widths for both commercial and domestic use. Our standard range includes widths that range from 6 to 21 meters with variable lengths and heights. These domes are made to handle extreme winds that are especially common in Australia.
The shelters are built with a strong frame made of steel that can be bolted or welded on the top of shipping containers. Polyethene fabrics are also used to make them waterproof. This material is made of a protection material that blocks UV rays. Moreover, all the resources used to construct the domes are recyclable, which makes them environmentally-friendly.
Fixtures
There are multiple accessories available to suit the specifications and requirements of your shelter. You can choose to add a half-done end wall to your dome housing or a complete wall for more coverage. Depending on your needs, a doorway for either exit or entry can be included. In addition, to increase the height between the floor and the roof, containers can be double-stacked, which can allow additional height.
Installation
The construction process of a site shelter varies for different sizes of the concealment. However, the containers must be perfectly placed opposite each other before placing the cover. The shelter can either be bolted or welded on the top rail of the container; if you are planning to move from one site to the other, you should have it bolted.
