Timber Cladding

Timber Clad Shipping Containers

Timber cladding transforms a standard shipping container into a warm, professional, and visually striking structure. Designed to soften the industrial appearance of steel containers, our timber-clad conversions are ideal for customer-facing environments where appearance matters just as much as performance. Whether used for kiosks, cafés, retail units or public spaces, timber cladding gives your container a high-end, purpose-built look while retaining the strength, security and durability of a steel unit beneath.

Timber Cladding – Pricing & Specification

Timber cladding is not a fixed, off-the-shelf product. Every timber-clad container is designed and built to order, with pricing based on your exact requirements.

The final cost will vary depending on:

  • Container size (10ft, 20ft, 40ft or bespoke layouts)

  • Full or partial cladding

  • Timber type and finish

  • Overhangs, fascia's and trims

  • Openings such as windows, roller shutters and personnel doors

  • Whether the unit is cosmetic only or fully kiosk-ready

Because no two builds are the same, we price each timber cladding project individually to ensure the best finish, value and longevity.
