Protecting People and Assets: Fabric Shelters and Structures in Africa

All DomeShelter™ Products are offered internationally – our Fit-For-Purpose Fabric Shelter projects are available to clients throughout Africa.

Project management, customisations, inclusions, add-ons, even installation support, are all available to clients in Africa.

DomeShelter Australia handles delivery on a case-by-case basis, working with clients to ensure a solution that is best for their needs.

International clients, including those in Africa, are welcome to organise their own freight, or include this in their project scope for the DomeShelter™ team to arrange on their behalf.

DomeShelter™ Structures are delivered in kit form via sea. For projects where DomeShelter Australia arranges freight, our responsibility stops at the port nearest to the client. So, for clients in West Africa, we will ship their Shelter Kit to the closest port (i.e. Abidjan), but it is the clients responsibility to arrange in-country transit to have the Shelter moved from the port to their site.

We are often asked if we provide installation services for our DomeShelter ™ Structures. Typically, installation is not included in a standard package.

Our DomeShelter™ Structures are designed for easy installation by our client’s teams, and we provide clear instructions for each kit. As many of our Structures are placed in remote areas, it’s more cost-effective to use local contractors who are already familiar with the site.

For more complex projects, we can coordinate experienced subcontractors to assist with installation. However, most clients are able to install Dome Shelter ™ Structures themselves, even if they have no prior experience.

Absolutely! DomeShelter™ Fabric Structures are specifically constructed in a way that makes it easy to move them around.

In fact, they are designed to be dismantled and relocated as needed, which can be helpful when work requirements change.

These Structures can even be moved up to 6-8 times without any issues, which is just one of the many benefits of choosing a Fabric Shelter over a traditional steel building.

While DomeShelter Australia specialises in Fabric Structures, we can package the supply of ancillary items like sea containers  with the shelter  for client convenience and to simplify the procurement process.

However, for requirements like modified sea containers, including roller doors or internal fit-out, it is recommended to talk to container experts.

DomeShelter Australia is happy to integrate their processes with your preferred container supplier to deliver a more streamlined project. If you need direction on who to talk to, you’re welcome to contact DomeShelter Australia for options.

DomeShelter Australia offers both standard and custom size Shelters. The choice depends on your specific needs. Standard Shelters are cost-effective and suitable for most needs, while custom Shelters are designed to meet specific requirements. Our team can help you determine the best solution for your project.

Most DomeShelter™ Structures are installed by our clients’ own teams, following the comprehensive installation instructions provided with every purchase. The ease of installation is one of the many benefits of a DomeShelter™ Structure, and doing it yourself (DIY) can save money. However, we also have specialist installation teams for clients requiring this service.

The key components affecting Fabric Shelter pricing are as follows: Size, Mounting and substructure type, Location, Certification/licencing requirements, Installation and Added extras.

Each will influence the specifications of the Shelter and decide the final cost. Some are less flexible, such as the site location or required Shelter size. Others, including materials and non-standard extras, can change based on your budget and needs.

With so many variables to consider, there is no simple answer to the cost question regarding Fabric Shelters. The best way to know for sure is to reach out to an expert who can scope out your needs and provide you with an investment proposal.

DomeShelter™ Structures can be delivered quickly and installed easily. We provide detailed installation instructions and can also arrange an installation team for larger projects. The Structures are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and can be easily relocated if needed.

While steel sheds are traditional and familiar, container mounted Fabric Shelters offer flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quick installation. They are particularly suited for remote locations and harsh environments.

A container shelter is a type of portable, durable structure that is typically mounted on shipping containers. These shelters are designed to provide a cost-effective and flexible solution for a variety of applications, including storage, workshops, and accommodation. The use of shipping containers as the base for these shelters provides a strong and stable foundation.

The arched Fabric Structure mounting rail and hoops are secured onto the sea containers, posts, or walls the Shelter will be mounted on, and the fabric is then pulled over the frame and secured. All components are provided in the DomeShelter™ kit and install is quick and easy, taking just a few days for a standard size shelter.

Each project at DomeShelter Australia is made to order, so there is always going to be a small lead time on your Shelter and you can expect this to be anywhere between two weeks and ten weeks.

Each project is specific, so some clients do require hot tip galvanising, supply of ancillary items that potentially carry with them a long lead time.
