Quick answer
Container home roofs must be designed for the snow load of the local region, which can be heavy in cold climates. The roof structure and any added roof covering must carry the design snow load, and this is set by local building codes, so it should be checked by a local engineer.
- Roofs must be rated for local snow load
- Local codes set the design requirement
- A local engineer confirms the roof design

Why snow load matters
In cold regions, snow can accumulate to a substantial weight on a roof. A roof that is not designed for it can deform or fail. Snow load is a structural requirement, not an afterthought.
How it is determined
Snow load is set by local building codes, based on the region and the site. The roof structure, and any roof covering or over-roof you add, must be designed to carry that load.
The container roof structure
The steel frame carries load well, but a snow design still has to be confirmed for your region, especially where units are joined or where a secondary roof is added.
Added roof structures
If you add a pitched roof or an over-roof for insulation or appearance, that structure must itself be designed for the snow load. This is a common point of failure and worth checking with an engineer.
What a local engineer does
A local structural engineer takes the code snow load for your site and confirms the roof and frame are adequate. Follow that specification, particularly where your region sees heavy or drifting snow.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer financing?
No. Payment is by bank transfer in full before production.
How are units delivered?
Units ship folded and are delivered port-to-port (FOB). You arrange local transport from the port to your site.
Can I order more than one unit?
Yes. Multi-unit orders ship together, which lowers the freight cost per unit.
