When it comes to shelter solutions, ease of installation and dismantling is just as important as durability and design. Allshelter is known for producing relocatable fabric shelters that are designed for convenience, flexibility, and durability. Whether you need a shelter for a mining operation, construction project, or industrial yard, Allshelter’s structures are designed with your time and resources in mind.
This blog walks you through the simple steps involved in installing and removing an Allshelter.
Pre-Installation: Smart Engineering Starts Here
The beginning of smart engineering is setting up your shelter for easy assembly. Each Allshelter provision is engineered and packaged to make assembly easy before tightening that first bolt. The shelters come as a DIY kit with quality-assured components, engineering certifications, and detailed assembly instructions. Lubrication-free, on-site adjustments or custom modifications are unnecessary for the shelters; they arrive fully ready to assemble.
This well-conceived design reduces uncertainty and avoids needless delays. While the design reduces uncertainty and avoids needless delays, instruction manuals and necessary equipment are still provided. Our team remains available to assist whenever needed.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Installing an Allshelter structure is straightforward. Whether working with a container dome or a post mounted shelter, the steps follow a reliable and proven framework. Below is a general outline of the process, demonstrated in Allshelter’s installation video.
1. Prepare the Site and Foundation
The first step is preparing the installation surface. Most Allshelter products are designed to be mounted directly onto shipping containers, concrete blocks, or steel posts. Minimal site preparation is required, although the ground needs to be even and footings need to be mapped out and done to ensure proper installation.
2. Assemble the Frame
The frame typically consists of pre-galvanised steel arches. Your crew can begin by laying out the components in order of assembly. Once laid out, the arches are bolted together using pre-drilled holes and quality fasteners provided in the kit.
These components are lightweight enough to manage with basic lifting equipment. In many cases, you won’t need cranes, just a telehandler or boom lift.
3. Erect and Position the Arches
Each arch is assembled on the ground, then raised and secured in place. The design ensures each arch fits perfectly, maintaining the structure’s integrity. This step-by-step build allows for fast progress, even with smaller teams.
4. Install the Fabric Cover
This uses a high-tensile, waterproof and UV-resistant PVC material. Winches or ropes can assist in pulling the fabric cover over the shelter frame once the steel construction is ready. Ratchet load binders evenly tension the entire cover over the structure, ensuring a cosy fit.
Pre-measured panels and anchoring systems eliminate the need to cut or trim material. This guarantees reliability and an impeccable fit every time.
5. Add Final Touches
The last steps involve attaching end walls, doors, or ventilation options if required. From start to finish, an experienced team can install a standard Allshelter in just a few days. Larger shelters or custom options may take slightly longer, but the modular approach keeps the timeline predictable.
Designed for Easy Dismantling and Relocation
Unlike traditional buildings, Allshelter products are designed to be relocatable. That means the same features that make them easy to install also make them incredibly easy to dismantle. The dismantling video shows how efficient the process can be.
1. Unfasten the Cover and Anchors
Dismantling begins by loosening and unhooking the fabric tensioning system. The cover is carefully removed and folded for transport or storage. The anchoring bolts and securing components are labelled and stored—no tools are left behind.
2. Disassemble the Frame
Once the cover is removed, the steel arches can be unbolted and laid flat. Because the bolts are high-strength and corrosion-resistant, there’s no struggle during removal. You reverse the assembly order. With proper storage, all components remain in top condition for subsequent use.
3. Transport and Store Efficiently
Allshelter infrastructures are packed into neat bundles, ready for storage or transport. This makes them ideal for temporary projects, seasonal use, or emergency infrastructure. All components are reusable, and no waste or demolition work is needed.
Real-World Time and Labour Savings
Many of Allshelter’s clients choose shelters because they save time, money, and manpower. On average, an experienced three-person crew can install a 12m-wide shelter in less than a week, compared to permanent buildings.
Even better, the dismantling is just as fast when the job is done. You can relocate the entire structure to your following job site or pack it away with minimal effort.
Why Allshelter Stands Out
Modular Design
Each Allshelter infrastructure is designed with modularity in mind.
Australian Engineering
Allshelter projects are built to withstand harsh Australian conditions, from high winds to intense sun. Their engineered strength makes them safe, reliable, and durable.
Certified and Compliant
Engineering certificates and local compliance standards back every shelter. This gives you confidence in both installation and dismantling.
User-Focused Support
Allshelter provides installation guides, video resources, and phone support. Whether you’re a first-time installer or a seasoned site manager, help is never far away.
Ideal Applications
Allshelter’s rapid installation and dismantling make it the go-to solution for industries requiring mobility and adaptability:
- Mining and Exploration Sites
- Remote Construction Projects
- Industrial Operations in Isolated Locations
- Transport and Logistics Hubs
- Waste Management Facilities
- Aircraft and Aviation Infrastructure
Each industry benefits from a solution that can be installed and removed with minimal disruption.
Final Thoughts: A Shelter System That Moves With You
Allshelter’s relocatable structures are designed to match the speed and scale of your operations. Their straightforward installation and dismantling process helps you respond quickly to changing needs—without the delays of traditional construction.
From the innovative packaging to the engineered fit, every detail of an Allshelter is optimised for convenience. Whether up for six months or several years, access to a shelter that works as hard as you do with all the flexibility and durability you can wish for.
