Installation Process

At Shield Roof Solutions, every PodRoof Kit and modular steel roofing system is engineered for fast, secure, and straightforward installation. Our ready-to-assemble designs eliminate the need for welding or specialized equipment, making it simple for contractors, teams, or skilled DIY users to build a durable, weather-resistant structure with confidence.

  • STEP 1: Site Preparation

    • Clear and level the ground where your containers or base structure will sit.
    • Ensure the area is accessible, stable, and safe for assembly.
    • Proper site prep creates a strong foundation for your PodRoof installation.

  • STEP 2: Container or Base Setup

    • Position your shipping containers on solid, level ground.
    • Align containers precisely to match your selected roof span or configuration.
    • Correct placement ensures accurate roof fitment and long-term stability.

  • STEP 3: Frame Assembly

    • All structural steel beams arrive pre-cut, pre-drilled, and ready to bolt together.
    • Follow the included step-by-step diagrams to connect components securely.
    • The modular frame system is designed for efficient assembly with common tools.

  • STEP 4: Roof Panel Installation

    • Attach the metal roof panels to the frame using the supplied hardware.
    • Panels overlap tightly for superior weather protection and rigidity.
    • The finished roof creates a strong barrier against sun, rain, and snow.

  • STEP 5: Gutter & Trim Finishing

    • Install gutters, downspouts, and trim to complete the structure.
    • These components improve water drainage and deliver a clean, professional finish.

  • STEP 6: Final Inspection

    • Check all fasteners, frame connections, and panel seams for proper alignment.
    • Confirm that trim, gutters, and accessories are securely installed.
    • A quick final review ensures long-lasting performance and structural integrity.

What Makes Our Installation Process Stand Out?

  1. No Field Welding Required. All PodRoof Kits use container pinpoints and bolt-together hardware—no welding, cutting, or heavy equipment needed.
  2. Truly DIY-Friendly. Our modular systems are engineered for easy assembly by contractors, small teams, or experienced DIY builders.
  3. Engineering Support When You Need It. For large-scale or custom configurations, we provide detailed technical drawings, engineering guidance, and project support.
  4. Fast, Efficient Build Times. Thanks to precision-cut components and complete installation instructions, most projects can be completed in just a few days.
