Clean Cut Cladding for Shipping Containers
Clean Cut cladding is one of our three options at Containers Direct.
This option has a more "polished" finish than the Classic Rustic choice of cladding, but a more affordable alternative than the Seamless Shiplap. With a sanded down edge, it is smoother and less rough looking than the rustic option, but still fully treated for prolonged outdoor use.




Cladding the container
We fix timber batons using 38mm long galvanised nails through the container wall and seal around to prevent leaks. The cladding is then nailed onto the batons. As a more expensive option, we can weld 25mm x 25mm box section onto the container to create a frame in which to screw the cladding.
Additional costs apply to the following:
