A 10-metre span demands a substantial frame. The TS1006 is built with 76mm OD × 2.5mm hot-dip galvanised steel arches, giving it significantly more steel than lightweight 1.8mm-wall alternatives.
✔ 76mm × 2.5mm Heavy-Duty Arches — approx. 37% more steel per metre than the same-diameter 1.8mm-wall tube.
✔ 60mm × 1.5mm Purlins — heavier roof support than the 48mm purlins commonly found on lighter alternatives.
✔ Approx. 650kg Total Weight — substantial steel construction you can see and feel, around 100kg heavier than some budget domes on the market.
✔ Grade 8.8 High-Tensile Bolts — industrial-grade fasteners used throughout the structure, with approximately twice the tensile strength of Grade 4.8 bolts.

Q: What size is the Toughcover TS1006 container shelter? A: The TS1006 is 10 metres wide, 6 metres long, and 3.5 metres high, covering a total floor area of 60m². It is designed to span a single 20ft shipping container (both GP and High Cube) with clearance on each side.
Q: Does the TS1006 fit 20ft High Cube containers? A: Yes. The TS1006 is fully compatible with both standard 20ft General Purpose (GP) and 20ft High Cube (HC) containers.
Q: What steel is used in the TS1006? A: The TS1006 uses 76mm OD x 2.5mm wall thickness hot-dip galvanised high-tensile steel for all main arches. This is significantly heavier than the 76 x 1.8mm or 2.0mm tube used by most budget suppliers — and it shows in the total kit weight of 765kg, compared to 500–600kg for comparable models on the market.
Q: Why does the TS1006 weigh 650kg when other 10m shelters weigh 500–600kg? A: The difference is in the steel. Our 76 x 2.5mm tube carries substantially more steel per metre than the 1.8mm alternatives most competitors use. Across four full arches on a 10-metre span, that adds up fast. The extra weight is the steel that should be there protecting your assets — and in a budget dome, it isn't.
Q: Is the TS1006 certified to Australian wind standards? A: Yes. The TS1006 is certified to AS/NZS 1170.2:2021, the Australian and New Zealand standard for wind actions on structures. It is engineered for Wind Region A conditions, which covers the majority of populated areas in Australia including Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia.
Q: Why is 76mm pipe used instead of a smaller size for the TS1006? A: A 10-metre span creates significant bending force at each arch under wind load. The 76mm OD profile provides the cross-sectional area needed to resist that bending — a 60mm pipe simply doesn't have enough material to hold the geometry rigid at this width.
Q: Is the 610gsm PVC cover fire-retardant? A: Yes. Every TS1006 comes with a heavy-duty 610 g/m² PVC cover that is UV-treated, fire-retardant, and 100% waterproof.
Q: How long does it take to assemble the TS1006? A: The TS1006 uses a no-weld Lock-Clamp system that connects with standard spanners — two free spanner kits are included. Most installations are completed in a day with 3-4 people. No welding equipment or build permit is required.
Q: Is professional installation available for the TS1006 in Victoria? A: Yes. Professional on-site installation is available as an optional extra for customers in Victoria. Contact us with your site location for a full quote including installation.
Q: What forklift capacity is needed to unload the TS1006? A: A minimum 2.5-tonne capacity forklift is recommended. The package ships at 650kg in a 265 x 110 x 60cm steel-reinforced crate with integrated fork pockets. If you don't have a forklift on site, let us know before dispatch and we can arrange alternatives.
