Container Shelters expressly states that they do not take responsibility for fulfilling council consenting requirements. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure compliance with any such requirements.
The company will not be held responsible for any failure on the customer's part to obtain
necessary consent.
Not all shelters provided by Container Shelters require consent.
The customer is responsible for conducting thorough due diligence regarding the suitability of a proposed site. This includes seeking appropriate professional advice, such as geotechnical engineering assessments, prior to construction.
Container Shelters mandates that each shelter must be attached to an engineer-approved
structure.
For example, when using containers, the correct screw piles or ballast must be used and signed
off by a qualified engineering professional.
If a shelter is built by the customer or their subcontractors, Container Shelters reserves the right to determine warranty coverage based on adherence to the provided installation instructions. Any failure to comply with these instructions or failure to mount the shelter on an engineer-approved structure, potentially leading to damage, will not be the responsibility of Container Shelters.
While Container Shelters may offer occasional advice, it's important to note that we are not qualified engineers. Our insights are based solely on experience and should not be considered a substitute for professional advice. Our subcontractors are hired to construct shelters in accordance with the provided installation instructions. No liability will be transferred to them in the event of failure to adhere to any points outlined in these terms and conditions.
Is your quote for hot-dip galvanised and rolled, structural steel (that we use) or inferior box section steel?
We use only hot-dipped, heavy gauge, rolled (round) structural steel portals and purlins.
Is the cover 610 gsm, UV stabilised and bonded PVC (the same as truck curtains) or only 280 gsm polyethylene?
Our Rip Stop PVC covers cost us significantly more than lightweight PE covers - but we think It’s worth it - because tensile tests show PVC is significantly stronger, stretches 7 times less and lasts longer than the other lightweight materials on offer.
Is the shelter NZ engineer certified and rated to Very High Wind Zones within AUS/NZS 1170 wind load ratings?
Our heavy duty Container Shelters are manufactured and NZ engineer-certified to meet and comply with AUS/NZS 1170 wind load ratings up to & including Very High Wind Zones.
