Container Shelters

The Zappshelter container shelter is built to last, and to prove this we have engineered the container shelter to the worst of Britain’s wind and snow conditions. We warranty every part and all labour with our 10 year warranty.

Our warranty is simple and easy to understand with no hidden clauses. Many of the ‘alternative’ systems which look similar either don’t provide any warranty - or they have a descending warranty on parts only.

Our fabric membrane covers are designed for this exact application, creating a lasting structure which doesn’t break down in UV light, or break down over time.

The Zappshelter container shelter system is extremely simple to install - requiring no specialist tools. We have a comprehensive instruction manual which will take you through every step and our team of Sheltologists are on hand to answer any questions you may have.

We also provide a complete installation package, or a project manager package depending on your requirements.

We would always advise a flat, level surface where you can easily place your shipping containers or interlocking concrete blocks. To a certain extent, a surface with a runoff or slope is ok, but bear in mind that the water will run off the container top in that direction.

Our installation teams can assist in packing the containers to a certain extent, but please speak to a project consultant first - there is a limit to how much packing can be done before being unsafe.

This varies depending from project to project. For example, a 6m wide x 6m long Zappshelter container shelter can be installed in under 2 days - whereas our 17m wide x 12m long Zappshelter container shelter can be installed in under 3 days.

Of course! The Zappshelter container shelter system is designed to be relocatable. The simple design and no groundwork requirements (in a typical application), means that your Zappshelter container shelter can be quickly disassembled and moved to a new location or just into storage. All our Zappshelter container shelters can be stored in a stillage for easy transport or storage.

This depends on the location of your Zappshelter container shelter application. We have a type approval for all of the UK wind and snow loadings. If you would like specific details, this would be done on a project-by-project basis.

The Zappshelter system is designed for every weather type. The fabric membrane cover is designed to not break down in UV, and the steelwork is designed to withstand high wind speeds and heavy snow loadings.

If you have any questions, speak to one of our Sheltologists® how can help with your concerns.

We would typically fix the Zappshelter to shipping containers, or interlocking precast concrete blocks. The weight of these substructures is enough to anchor the Zappshelter down (Please contact us for confirmation on this for specific applications).

Certainly! A true jack of all trades is the Zappshelter container shelter system. Our clients are constantly adapting to the requirements of our clients and the needs of their site, so the applications can vary hugely. The Zappshelter container shelter system can be extended, this means as the site grows, your production doesn’t have to slow.

The maintenance schedule is straightforward on the Zappshelter container shelter system. We advise ensuring the tensioning straps are taught 30 days after installation, and every 6 months you should tighten the straps a few clicks.

Don’t worry! - we will send you a care schedule note once your Zappshelter container shelter is installed.

You can add a new section to a Zappshelter container shelter very easily. We have a specially designed joining section which mounts between every section added on. The simple arched design means that joining them end to end is quick and easy, creating as long a covered area as you need.

The disassembly of a Zappshelter container shelter is the opposite of the installation procedure. Contact a Sheltologist to receive your own disassembly manual - help@zapp.group

The Zappshelter container shelter system fits within a stillage, or two depending on the shelter size. A stillage can be moved using a forklift or telehandler with the correct lift rating, and can easily be put on a truck or van.

The shipping containers or interlocking precast concrete blocks would be shipped separately.

For reference, if you are transporting your Zappshelter container shelter via a courier network, each stillage is classed as 2 pallet spaces each.

The Zappshelter container shelter framework and cover pack neatly into a stillage - or two depending on the size of the shelter. These stillages can be stored anywhere you think is suitable. They can easily be moved using a forklift or telehandler.
