Australia’s supply chain demands are no small feat. With long distances between hubs, harsh weather conditions, and fast-changing operational needs, logistics businesses need infrastructure that’s built tough, flexible, and able to keep up.
From vast outback routes to urban congestion, there’s a constant pressure to stay efficient and permanent warehouses and large sheds don’t always fit the bill. They’re expensive, time-consuming to build, and hard to scale when operations shift. That’s why more logistics companies are turning to container dome shelters—a smarter way to manage space, stay agile, and protect what matters.
The Basics & Benefits of Container Dome Shelters
A container dome shelter is a large, open-span structure made from a steel frame and tough, tensioned fabric. Typically mounted to shipping containers or ground posts, these shelters instantly create covered space for storage, operations, or equipment without needing a fixed foundation.
Whether you’re expanding a warehouse, creating a temporary distribution hub, or protecting fleet vehicles, our container dome shelters in Perth and across Australia are modular, relocatable, and ready to work almost anywhere. Plus, they’re used across multiple sectors like logistics, mining, and agriculture, offering year-round weather protection and versatility for fast-paced businesses.
In short, they’re reliable coverage without the long wait times or costly overheads of traditional buildings.
They’re the go-to solution for logistics companies due to:
Cost-Effective Infrastructure
Why sink time and money into permanent buildings when a dome shelter can do the job—faster and for less? Lower upfront costs, minimal ongoing maintenance, and no need for slabs, major works, or pricey permits make domes a budget-friendly choice.
Fast Setup
Need warehousing by next week? No problem. Dome shelters are designed for rapid deployment without downtime. Whether it’s a standard-sized dome or a larger custom unit with 40-foot container covers, setup can be completed in days—not months. They’re also simple to disassemble and relocate, making them ideal for shifting operations.
Solid & Weather-Ready
From high winds and dust storms to heavy rain or snow, these shelters are engineered to handle the heat, cold, and everything in between. With wind ratings from Region A to D, galvanised steel frames, and UV-resistant covers, your assets are covered in more ways than one.
Custom Fittings
From back walls and adjustable posts to ventilation and lighting, dome structures are the perfect foundation for tailored additions depending on your application needs.
Where Dome Shelters Fit into Logistics
Warehousing & Bulk Storage
When storage demand spikes or space gets tight, dome shelters offer fast, weatherproof warehousing. They’re ideal for overflow stock, seasonal inventory, palletised goods, and bulky freight. Large open spans and no internal posts mean there’s plenty of room for forklifts and vehicles to move freely, complete with the flexibility to set up racking or work zones.
Dome shelters are also a smart option for operations dealing with high-volume storage and compact urban footprints, maximising usable space without the red tape of permanent builds.
Vehicle, Fleet & Caravan Protection
From delivery vans to semi-trailers and forklifts, your assets are protected with a reliable, weatherproof caravan shed. UV rays, hail, and high winds can shorten the lifespan of your fleet, but with our heavy-duty portable carports, you’re safeguarding your vehicles.
Keeping assets dry, safe, and within reach, these structures allow for natural airflow, preventing overheating during the hotter seasons and reducing condensation buildup during cooler months. It’s a practical, low-maintenance solution for vehicle protection—no matter the climate.
Workshops, Maintenance Bays & Loading Docks
Need a quick way to set up a maintenance bay or a covered workspace? Dome shelters can be configured for this—keeping your crew productive, rain or shine.
Fit them out with lighting, tool storage, or roller doors to create efficient work zones that stay dry, safe, and accessible all year round. They also make fantastic loading docks, ensuring people, parcels, and processes move safely and effectively.
This is especially useful for operations in high-demand distribution centres or remote logistics sites where fixed facilities aren’t practical.
Customise Your Dome Shelter: Sizes & Mounting Options
From standard 20-foot domes to large-scale multi-bay shelters, the sizing options are extensive. Choose between:
- Container-mounted domes (20ft, 40ft, or custom)
- Ground-mounted shelters with post kits or container domes
- Custom spans for unusually shaped or oversized storage needs
Additionally, you can personalise your structure to your operations with back walls, canopies, rainwater systems, lighting, ventilation, doors, and more for a workflow tailored to your business.
Engineered for Sustainability & Long-Term Savings
Dome shelters are a lower-impact solution in all the best ways. Saving time and money with less construction waste, fewer materials, and the ability to reuse and relocate, they support more sustainable logistics operations.
Over time, you’re saving on:
- Insurance premiums (due to weather protection)
- Equipment damage and replacement costs
- Downtime from disrupted operations
- Energy bills (thanks to natural light and airflow)
