Shipping Container Cladding Options
​
Cladding is a fantastic way to transform the look and feel of your shipping container. Not only does it improve the appearance, but it also adds extra protection against the elements, helping your container last longer and look smarter. Whether you’re creating a pop-up shop, office, garden room or bar, the right cladding can make all the difference.
We offer three main types of cladding, each with its own advantages:
​​
​
Rough Sawn Wood (Most Popular & Cost-Effective)
Affordable – This is our cheapest option, making it perfect if you’re on a budget but still want a natural timber look.
Traditional Appearance – The rough-sawn finish gives a rustic, characterful style, ideal for garden rooms, storage, or casual outdoor spaces.
Customisable – Can be treated, painted, or stained to match your project’s design.
Low Maintenance – While basic compared to other options, regular treatment helps extend its life.
​
Red Cedar Wood (Premium Natural Look)
Stunning Finish – Red cedar is known for its rich, warm tones and striking natural grain.
Durability – Naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it a long-lasting choice.
Low Maintenance – Ages beautifully over time, turning a silver-grey colour, or can be oiled to maintain its original warm shade.
Adds Value – A high-end cladding option that makes your container look stylish and professional. Perfect for offices, retail units, or high-visibility projects.
​
​
Composite Cladding (Modern & Maintenance-Free)
Contemporary Look – Available in a range of colours, offering a clean and modern finish.
Hardwearing – Made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic, composite boards are designed to last.
Weather Resistant – Won’t rot, warp, or fade like traditional wood.
Low Maintenance – No need for painting, staining, or treating – just install and enjoy.
Eco-Friendly – Many composite boards are made with recycled materials, making them a sustainable choice.
