Different Container Canopy Types And Their Advantage Over Permanent Structures

Various container canopy types and more permanent structures such as steel sheds have been some of the most popular choices for storage, warehouses and workshops. Although steel sheds have generally been favoured, the advancements in material science and the costeffectiveness of container canopies have made them a more versatile alternative—and the McGregor Group has been leading the market with Shield Canopy™—our flagship container canopy.

In this post, let’s explore the advantages of container canopies over permanent structures and how the different container canopy types can meet varying business needs.

The differences between container canopies and permanent structures Working environment Traditional steel sheds and other permanent structures generally lack proper ventilation, which can lead to many issues attributed to high-moisture environments such as pests and mould. This can impact both the health of the individuals working within these structures as well as any goods stored in them.

In contrast, container canopies like Shield Canopy™, offer a more open and well-ventilated working environment. The open front and integrated light strips of this canopy provide natural illumination. This creates a comfortable and well-lit working environment, ideal for

workshops or storage spaces where extended periods are spent.

Groundworks One of the main advantages of Shield Canopy™ and other similar container canopies is that they require little to no groundwork, as they can be attached directly to one or multiple 20ft and 40ft shipping containers. Since Shield Canopy™ is made to standard sizes, it also gives us more time to rigorously test the structures before deployment. This enables us to guarantee resistance against Beaufort 10 winds for five years.

On the other hand, erecting a permanent structure will involve a lot of pre-construction groundwork to ensure the structure has a solid foundation to support its weight and be stable, this makes permanent structures drastically more expensive than container canopies—not to mention the extended project timelines to deploy such structures.

Choose container canopies for better flexibility, cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment When it comes to cost-effective sheltering options for storage bays, warehouses, and workshops, container canopies are the best choice. They offer flexibility, safety, and weather protection while being easier and cheaper to deploy and maintain than traditional permanent structures.

There are also many container canopies types to choose from depending on your specific needs and requirements. If you’re considering container canopies, choose a reputed manufacturer like McGregor Group for high-quality offerings.
