Direct answer: Start with the clear span and door opening your equipment needs, then choose the frame, cover, mounting method, and enclosure configuration that fit the site. Confirm anchoring, access, freight unloading, and local requirements before ordering.
Storage shelter selection checklist
| Decision | What to verify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Usable footprint | Width, length, height, equipment turning space, and working clearance | The nominal shelter size is not the same as every usable interior clearance |
| Door opening | Machine width and height, mirrors, exhaust, attachments, and approach angle | The equipment must clear the opening with safe margin |
| Frame family | Single-truss (ST) or dual-truss (DT) design stated for the model | Frame construction changes by product family and intended application |
| Cover | Published PE or PVC fabric weight and treatment | Cover material and weight differ across shelter models |
| Mounting | Ground, concrete, container, or other stated mounting configuration | The site and anchoring plan must match the model |
| Endwalls and doors | Open, partial, enclosed, roll-up, and drive-through configuration | Access, security, airflow, and weather exposure depend on the enclosure |
| Site and delivery | Level area, drainage, anchoring plan, freight access, and unloading equipment | These requirements affect installation and safe receipt |
Have a specific machine or site? Record its widest and tallest points, the available footprint, preferred mounting surface, ZIP code, and unloading equipment. Then send those details to Cliffhouse Buildings or browse storage shelters.
