Question 1

What sizes do the PodRoof Kits come in?

Accepted Answer

PodRoof Kits are available in three standard widths: 20 feet, 30 feet, and 40 feet between the inside edges of the containers. Each kit spans 20 feet in length. For larger coverage, multiple kits can be connected end-to-end to create extended roof systems.

Question 2

What do the PodRoof Kit measurements mean?

Accepted Answer

Width: refers to the full span of the roof from one side to the other.
Length: the distance along the shipping containers and the roof’s ridge line.
Space: indicates the open area between the inside edges of the two containers.

Question 3

What is the maximum span of a PodRoof Kit?

Accepted Answer

The largest PodRoof Kit spans up to 56 feet across, allowing for a maximum open space of 40 feet between the inside edges of the shipping containers.

Question 4

What are the peak heights of your PodRoof Kits?

Accepted Answer

Peak Heights:

GB36 – 12' 6”
GB56 – 14’ 7 3/16”
GB5630 – 26’ 4”
GM20 – 13’ 8 3/8”
GM40 – 17’ 11 5/8”
GM30 – 15' 8"
GB46 – 13' 10 1/2"

Question 5

What are the slopes of your PodRoof Kits?

Accepted Answer

PodRoof Kit slopes vary by model and roof design:

GB36, GB46, GB56 – 2/12 pitch, 10° slope
GM20, GM30, GM40 – Upper section: 2/12 pitch, 10° slope; Lower section: 7/12 pitch, 30° slope
GB5630 – 7/12 pitch, 30° slope

These slope measurements affect water runoff, snow load handling, and overall roof aesthetics.

Question 6

How thick are the PodRoof Kit panels?

Accepted Answer

All PodRoof Kits use durable 26-gauge steel roof panels. This thickness offers a strong balance of weather resistance, structural integrity, and long-term performance.

Question 7

Can I connect multiple PodRoof Kits to create a longer roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PodRoof Kits are designed to be modular and can be connected end-to-end to extend your covered space. There are no gaps between kits when installed properly. For example, using two 20-foot-long kits with 40-foot shipping containers will create a continuous 40-foot roof span.

Question 8

How do PodRoof Kits attach to shipping containers?

Accepted Answer

PodRoof Kits use a proprietary bracket system that securely locks into the corner pin holes of standard shipping containers. This connection method requires no welding, making installation fast, safe, and straightforward.
