Heavy Duty Frame

Our Container Roof Kits are manufactured using Australian-made BlueScope Steel frames that are, in many cases, up to 30% thicker than alternative kit options. Each shed kit features single-piece posts and rafters, minimising joins for a cleaner finish and a significantly stronger structure. To give you complete confidence in your investment, every frame is backed by a 10-year structural warranty.

Hot Dipped Galvanising

While standard galvanised steel works well for general frame components, the areas in direct contact with the ground demand a higher level of protection. That is why our ground runners and welded sections are Hot Dip Galvanised, delivering maximum defence exactly where moisture and corrosion are most aggressive. No other steel coating matches hot dip galvanizing for service life, durability and consistent, proven performance in tough on-site conditions.

Engineer Certified

Every Container Roof Kit can be supplied with site-specific engineering certification and documentation, tailored to your exact installation location. This gives you clear evidence that your structure has been professionally designed and certified for local conditions. In most regions, this level of engineering is essential for securing council approval—helping you move your project forward with confidence and minimal delays.

Standard Roof Kits Available

Our Container Roof Kits must have a minimum side wall height of 0.82 meters (one side wall sheet). Walls can be made higher if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Council requirements can differ from one area to another. As a general guide, in many suburban locations any structure over 10m² may require council approval. To make the process easier, every Port Shipping Containers roof kit is supplied with engineered certificates and detailed drawings. However, because regulations vary, we always recommend confirming specific requirements with your local council to ensure your project is fully compliant from day one.

Every Container Roof Kit is backed for the long term. The Roof Kit frames include a 10-year structural warranty, and the Colorbond® roofing is also covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that your investment is built to last for at least that period of time.

Our Roof Kit frames are engineered from premium Australian galvanised steel, treated inside and out for long-term durability. As standard, all welded components and the full base rails are hot-dipped galvanised to deliver maximum protection against corrosion in tough Australian conditions. If you would like your full frame hot-dipped galvanised as well, we can arrange this as an upgrade. This is a customised option and will incur an additional cost, so please contact us for a tailored quote.

Every Container Roof Kit frame is finished in a clean, galvanised silver for a strong, industrial look that suits any site. For the roof, you can choose from the full Colorbond® range, with 22 contemporary colours available. You can even mix and match different colours to align with your company branding or create a distinctive look for your property.

Our Container Roof Kits are proudly Australian made, using premium Australian steel and sheeting engineered for local conditions. Every frame is heavy duty, constructed from 75 x 50 x 2.0 mm or 100 x 50 x 2.0 mm Australian galvanised RHS steel. In many configurations, this makes the frame up to 30% stronger than comparable products on the market. Combined with full hot-dipped galvanised protection, you gain outstanding resistance to corrosion, impact and weathering—making Port Container Roof Kits the smart long-term choice when strength, reliability and lifespan truly matter.

We deliver Australia-wide, direct to your site. For efficient transport, all products can be supplied flat packed, and in most locations we can position your kit exactly where you need it using our crane truck. Every kit includes clear, step-by-step assembly instructions, so you can have your structure up and operational quickly and with confidence.

Yes. Simply add a Roof Gutter Kit when you place your order, and we will custom manufacture it to suit your shed rafters. During installation, you only need to allow a suitable fall from one end of the shed to the other. We then replace the flashing on the gutter side and extend the roof sheets by 50 mm to create a clean overhang into the gutter for efficient water capture. The Roof Gutter Kit is designed for straightforward installation, so once fitted, you can connect your downpipes wherever you need them. Please note: guttering must be specified at the time of order so that your roof sheets are cut to the correct length.

Not at all. Each Container Roof Kit is designed so a capable handy person can assemble it with confidence. All components arrive pre-cut to length, ready to go—simply slide the sections together and secure them as outlined. Every kit includes clear, detailed assembly instructions, guiding you step by step from first bolt to final fix-off, so you can have your cover installed and protecting your assets sooner.

Our Container Roof Kits are engineered for Australian Wind Regions A and B, giving you a strong, compliant solution for most sites. In standard installations, the weight and footprint of the shipping containers, combined with our mounting brackets, generally provide sufficient anchoring. For added security and peace of mind—particularly in more exposed locations—we recommend additional hold-downs. You can review full engineering and anchoring details in our technical information, available here.
