      Reliable ventilation systems for improved airflow in shipping containers

      Good ventilation is essential for keeping your shipping container dry, fresh, and free from excess moisture. Our range of container vents for sale improve airflow in any type of container by allowing stale, humid air to escape while letting fresh air circulate through the unit. This reduces the risk of condensation and protects stored tools, equipment, and any other materials from damp-related damage.

      Whether you’re adding ventilation to a new container or upgrading an older one, our vents are designed for quick installation and reliable performance in all weather conditions.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do I need vents on my shipping container?

      Vents help improve airflow and reduce moisture build-up, which can lead to condensation, rust, mould, and mildew. If you’re storing tools, equipment, or materials, adding vents is a simple way to protect them from damp-related damage.

      Can I use multiple vents on my shipping container?

      Yes. Fitting two vents, one at each end, is a common way to create cross-ventilation, and you can even combine different vent types if needed. For containers kept in damp or high-moisture areas, using multiple vents can help improve airflow even further.

      Can I install the air vents myself?

      Absolutely. Most vents can be fitted with basic tools, and the process is straightforward. For guidance, you can watch the installation video above showing how to fit a Large Corrugated Plastic Air Vent to a standard shipping container.

      Are shipping container vents secure against pests and water ingress?

      Yes. The vents are designed to allow airflow while helping prevent pests and rainwater from entering the container. Louvre and corrugated styles offer added protection thanks to their angled design.

      What materials are the air vents made from?

      Our vents come in a choice of durable materials, including plastic, metal, and aluminium. Each material is selected for long-lasting performance and resistance to outdoor conditions.

      How is the racking installed inside the container?

      All our shipping container racking and shelving solutions are easy to install and fix directly to your container’s D-rings, so there’s no drilling or permanent modifications needed. For a full walkthrough, watch our installation video above.
