Create a secure shelter between two portable buildings – no building consent needed and no damage done. PortaSpan shelters are our most popular option for site compounds.
PortaSpan shelters are 100% safe to mount on portable buildings you’ve leased, with no welding, drilling, or bolting required. They’re easy to transport, install, and reuse when the job’s done, saving you time and money in the long run.
PortaSpan is available in two standard sizes. With a one-week turnaround, you can get PortaSpan shelters up and running on your site within two weeks of your order.

Turn shipping containers into the base for a reliable, affordable shelter. Our classic container shelters are used for construction projects of all sizes and scopes. Mount them on ballast-filled containers or on shipping containers modified to be portable buildings for site compounds. Create an enclosed workshop, storage area, or loading bay shelter with optional walls or doors.
Choose a span from 6m to 45m. Using Twistlock Mounting Beams®, you can easily attach the shelter to shipping containers without welding. Container shelters require minimal footings, making them easily relocatable around construction sites or to new sites.
Need a container shelter ASAP? QuickSmart® shelters feature the same quality material and construction as our regular container shelters, with a much quicker dispatch time. Available in a few standard sizes to ensure a 1-week turnaround, they’re the ideal solution for temporary projects.

If you’re working on uneven surfaces and spaces with less clearance, our post mounted shelters provide durable protection with more flexibility in location. They’re an increasingly popular option for larger or long-term construction projects. Customers often use post mounted shelters in conjunction with portable buildings.
With spans up to 45m, post mounted shelters can fit large numbers of staff for meeting and eating areas. They provide open entry points on all sides, creating a more accessible, spacious area; we offer side cladding and end walls if you need a fully enclosed space.
