Protect what matters

With our inclement and unpredictable weather conditions, innovation is needed to keep projects on track and on budget. Zappshelters are the smart way to get under cover fast. Rapid to install and using only the most basic of equipment, Zappshelter usually require no planning permission to erect, and are easy to dismantle and relocate as needed.

Designed and engineer-certi�ed for the world’s harshest environments, Zappshelter can provide �exible temporary or permanent covered areas for your location.They are available in a great range of widths, and the lengths work perfectly with standard steel containers.

About zappshelter

Shipping containers are everywhere: self-store facilities, site compounds, container apartments and villages, and even temporary public amenities in disaster-hit areas. Wherever you go in the world, you’ll �nd the versatile shipping container put to innumerable ingenious uses. Why? Because they’re readily available, a�ordable, �exible and secure.

Until now, container storage has been limited to the containers themselves, and often the space round about them is wasted, simply becauseno one has found a safe and satisfactory way to utilise it. The introduction of Zappshelter opens up a whole host of further applications and possibilities, taking the container concept to a whole new level.

As Zappshelters are classed as temporary structures, they can often be installed wherever containers can be situated without the need for planning consent. This, coupled with attractive costs, means that they often outweigh permanent structures, with signi�cant savings.

Solutions

zappshelter

Composite woven PE engineered for hightensile and tear strength, retained tensionand abrasion resistance. Excellent UV resistance and a dirt repelling coating.

Fabric cover

Component Length

Steel structure High tensile, galvanised structural steel complying with BS4360 or EN100025.

Zappshelters are certi�ed by structural engineers with extremes of climate in mind. This is re�ected in the carefully designed galvanised steel hoop structure and the tough fabric membrane, ensuring Zappshelterso�er great protection from the elements for many years.

In very high winds, Zappshelter acts much like a tent. In theory it may move if it’s not anchored, but doesn’t collapse. A curve is a strong shape for downward pressure such as wind or snow, preventing collapse. The structure strengthens under tension, which is the force applied by wind uplift. The containers each side hold it down; however, to prevent it lifting in extreme conditions, they can be anchored to a slab or piers.

If containers aren’t level, the beauty of the Zappmat structure is that it’s �exible enough to cater for minor di�erences. It is also crucial to ensure that the cover is well-tensioned at all times. A periodic check on this will greatly extend the life of the structure.

Zappshelters require only basic equipment and skills to assemble. As their �nal destinations are often in remote locations, care has been taken to ensure the that the simplest methods are employed to put each component together, including push-�t connections, bolted joints and straightforward weld-on container attachment rails.

Detailed step-by-step instructions are included in each kit, which comes complete with everything you need to assemble your Zappshelter successfully.

More detailed information can be found in our installation guide.

AssemblyWhen installed correctly, Zappshelters will give years of excellent service. A critical factors that ensure a successful service is the placingof the containers. The design allows a certain amount of �exibility in the structure which can cater for minor di�erences in levels or a slight slope. However, the containers must be �rmly anchored or weighed down to prevent wind uplift. This can be easily achieved usingeither anchor �xings into the substrate below, or by weighing the container down with suitable ballast.

It is also crucial to ensure that the cover is well-tensioned at all times. A periodic check on this will greatly extend the life of the structure.

Some Zappshelter applications require additional protection, especially if it is covering sensitive materials or equipment. For this reason we have developed three great end wall options.

The partial end wall simply encloses the space from the top of the containers to the highest point on the dome. This gives extra protection without restricting access.

The full end wall completely encloses one end of the sheltered area, protecting anything inside and o�ering added security.

The zip-up end wall o�ers the bene�ts of a full end wall but with the ability to gain access via a heavy duty zip opening.

One or a combination of two options can be used with any Zappshelter, and can easily be added or removed at any point.

zappshelterThe bene�ts of using a Zappshelter end wall include additional weather protection from driven rain and snow in exposed areas. When working with sensitive equipment or materials, or when applying coatings such as paint or lacquer, it is essential to keep the area dry. The use of end walls also means some heat may be retained.

Another signi�cant advantage is security. Whilst Zappshelters are not classed as secure storage, the addition of an end wall can greatly reduce the risk of theft and damage by simply obscuring the contents of the covered area from the sight of passers by.
