There are many different ways you can repurpose a 20 foot used shipping container, with one of the most popular ways being to create a workshop space. Containers can serve as a sturdy foundation for fabric shelters, making them ideal workspaces due to their robust and resilient construction designed to endure extreme conditions. This means that any stored items remain well-protected, eliminating concerns about damage to materials or equipment. Fabric Container Shelters are also an inexpensive alternative to building a more permanent workshop structure, allowing for more money to be spent elsewhere.
Several industries, such as industrial, aviation, mining and construction industries, use fabric shelters as a covered space to use as a workshop. Their semi-permanent design allows them to be easily used for one thing and then be moved as necessary and used as another, providing a covered and protected environment that can be installed quickly.
Here are some ways that fabric shelters can be used as workshops:
Manufacturing or Fabrication: Fabric shelters can house manufacturing or fabrication operations. They provide ample space for production lines, assembly, and welding, offering protection from sun, rain, and wind while allowing for good ventilation.
Aviation and Hangars: Transforming fabric shelters into aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities presents cost-effective alternatives to conventional hangars for housing and servicing small planes, helicopters, and aviation equipment.
Paint and Blast Booths: Fabric shelters can be adapted into paint booths or blast booths for industrial applications. They provide controlled environments for painting, sandblasting, and surface treatment processes, ensuring that air quality and containment are maintained.
Storage and Warehousing: Although this is not necessarily a workshop, fabric shelters can function as temporary warehouses or additional storage space for businesses. They are a cost-effective way to expand storage capacity without the need for permanent structures. Any excess materials and equipment from the workshops can be stored away safely and securely
