When working with containers with open sides — for example to create a covered production hall, a spacious warehouse or a flexible workspace — it can be tempting to simply place them close together and get started.

But here’s the challenge:
Even when containers are tightly aligned, there are usually small gaps and irregularities in the steel. And these small openings are enough for wind, rain and dust to sneak in. This can quickly lead to:

• cold drafts and an unpleasant indoor climate for your employees

• moisture damage to goods or machinery

• dust and dirt accumulating on equipment, making cleaning more demanding

It’s about more than just the structure

It’s not only about making sure the containers stand firmly. It’s also about how it feels to work inside the space afterward. Can you trust that your storage stays dry? That your employees can work without drafts? That you don’t have to worry about moving materials because rain is blowing in from the side?

A tight and stable solution gives you peace of mind in your daily operations and fewer surprises in your budget.

Here’s how to do it

By combining galvanised external locking clamps and external rubber seals, you easily achieve both strength and a weather-tight result.

• The locking clamps keep the containers securely joined, so the structure remains rock solid even if you use forklifts or have heavy loads inside.

• The rubber seal ensures the joints are tight and flexibly adapts to small irregularities in the steel, preventing water and wind from getting through.

This way, you get a solution that not only looks professional but also works flawlessly in practice — whether you’re setting up a temporary hall on a construction site or a more permanent solution for storage or production.

What does this mean for you?

• You get a dry, clean and comfortable environment to work in — without cold drafts or moisture damage.

• You avoid unforeseen extra costs for repairs or damage to machinery and goods.

• You can confidently build flexible solutions that easily adapt to your changing needs.
