Gold Mountain Double Truss Peak Storage Shelter-W40'xL80'xH23'

Each shelter page lists its rating in the Specifications table. By frame series: Gold Mountain Single Truss 1.6 kPa snow / 0.30 kPa wind (33 / 6.3 psf), Single Truss Enhanced 1.8 / 0.34 kPa, M Model Double Truss 2.0 / 0.37 kPa, NORDURA 2.4 / 0.40 kPa (custom builds up to 3.7 / 0.65 kPa). Ratings assume the shelter is installed and anchored as described in the manual and that snow and ice are cleared promptly instead of being left to accumulate.

PE (300 g/m²) is lighter and lower in cost, suited to light and medium duty, and carries a 2-year warranty. PVC (420 to 750 g/m²) is heavier, UV- and tear-resistant, waterproof and fire-retardant, and carries a 2-year warranty plus prorated protection (1 to 6 extra years by series). For year-round use in Canadian winters we recommend PVC. With normal care a cover lasts about 7 to 10 years.

Single-truss frames are lighter, lower in cost and quicker to install, and suit moderate climates and spans up to about 30'. Double-truss frames use twin tubes per arch for higher snow and wind ratings, wider spans and higher clearance, with more parts and a longer install. The M Model and NORDURA series are double-truss, engineer-stamped designs.

Frame: 2 years (Single Truss PE), 3 years (Single Truss PVC), 5 years (Double Truss), 8 years (M Model), 10 years (NORDURA). Cover: 2 years, plus prorated protection of 1 / 3 / 6 / 6 years for the PVC series. The warranty starts on the invoice date; register by emailing the serial number and invoice number to info@cheryindustrial.ca. Full terms are on the Shelters Limited Warranty page.

Fabric shelters are often treated as temporary structures, but rules depend on your municipality, the shelter size and how long it stays up. Check with your local building department before ordering. Engineer-stamped drawings sealed by a Quebec engineer (OIQ) are available for many of our storage shelters, NORDURA shelters have an Ontario P.Eng. certificate of design conformance, and our Shelter Permit Service ($2,500) has our engineers contact the municipality and prepare the application for you.

Shelters can be set on compacted gravel, soil, asphalt or concrete, as long as the surface is level. On concrete, the base plates are fixed with expansion (wedge) anchors; on soil or gravel, use ground stakes or earth anchors, which can be ordered separately. Container shelters bolt or weld to the top rails of two shipping containers. Anchors, ratchets and straps are listed under Parts & Accessories.

Yes. Every shelter ships with an illustrated manual, also downloadable from the product page. A 20' to 30' single-truss shelter usually takes two to four people one to two days; larger double-truss and container shelters take longer and need a lift or scaffold. If you prefer professional installation, we work with installers in several regions; contact customer service for a quote. Keep photos of your installation, as the warranty asks for them.

Standard 20' or 40' shipping containers at 8'6" height. The shelter width (20' to 60') is the clear span between the two containers. High-cube containers (9'6") work for the roof, but endwalls are sized for standard-height containers.

It depends on the model and is listed on each product page. Typical openings: 14.4' × 10.7' on a 20'×12' round shelter, 11.5' × 11.5' on a 30'×15' round shelter, 14.5' × 13' on a 30'×20' double-truss shelter, 18' × 16' on a 50'×25' double-truss shelter, and 13.6' × 13.6' on container shelters.

Shipping is free across Canada. Shelters ship by freight on pallets or in crates to the front of your building; have a forklift, pallet truck or a few people ready to unload. You can also pick up from our warehouses in Ontario, Quebec or British Columbia; shelter pages show the pickup discount. In-stock shelters normally ship within one week; out-of-stock and custom orders take about two to three months.

Yes. Custom sizes, colours and materials are available on request; custom covers are made to order and take about three months. Contact our sales team for a quote.

Yes. Replacement roof covers, front and back endwalls, fix tape for small cuts, ratchets, straps and anchors are sold separately, and each shelter page lists the parts that fit it under "Parts & Accessories". Parts remain available after the warranty ends.

Yes. Each cover fabric has a fire test report from an independent laboratory:

• 300 g/m² PE: passed CPAI-84 (2021 revision), the flame-resistance specification for tent fabrics (SGS, 2026).
• 420, 500 and 900 g/m² PVC: DIN 4102-1 Class B2.
• 610 g/m² PVC: DIN 4102-1 Class B2, and EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, the European reaction-to-fire classification.
• 750 g/m² PVC: NFPA 701:2019 Method 2 and DIN 4102-1 Class B2.
• PVC tarpaulin: Class M2 under the French standard NF P 92-507.

These reports cover the tested fabric samples, not the shelter as a whole. Ask us for a copy if your site or insurer needs one.

• Cold: PVC fabric samples passed 16-hour exposure tests at −40 °C and −50 °C with no cracking or peeling of the coating.
• Sun: PVC tarpaulin tested to EN 13758-1 earned a UPF 50+ rating, blocking about 99.95% of UVA and UVB.
• Strength: our 300 g/m² PE and 750 g/m² PVC fabrics have tensile and tear strength test reports, and our 610 g/m² PVC has a tensile strength report (SGS and FITI).

Results apply to the fabric samples tested. With normal care, a cover lasts about 7 to 10 years.

• Engineer-stamped drawings: sealed by a Quebec engineer (OIQ) for the 20'×30'×12', 30'×40'×15' and 40'×80'×20' round shelters and for the double-truss peak designs from 40' to 70' wide.
• Snow load tests: in 2015, TÜV Rheinland witnessed snow load tests on 20', 30' and 40' wide frames, which passed at 2.0 to 2.57 kPa. These were run to the manufacturer's test plan; they are witnessed tests, not TÜV certification.
• NORDURA: an Ontario professional engineer (P.Eng.) certifies the NORDURA designs to NBCC 2020, CSA S16 and the 2024 Ontario Building Code (Standard series 2.4 kPa snow / 0.40 kPa wind; High Performance series 3.7 / 0.65 kPa).
• Steel: the galvanized steel tube passed CPSIA lead content testing (SGS, 2016).

Ask us which documents apply to your model and we will send you a copy.

Re-tighten the cover and straps once or twice in the first months, especially after a cold-weather install, and after strong wind or heavy snow. Clear snow and ice promptly, keep both doors closed (or both open) in high wind, inspect the frame, anchors and fabric at least three times a year, wash with mild soap and water only, and repair small cuts with fix tape before they spread.
