When Are Roof Stiffening Bars Required?

Roof stiffening bars are essential when stacking Kovobel containers, distributing the weight of an upper container evenly across the full roof span of the lower unit. They are also recommended for sites with heavy or prolonged snow loading, particularly for the larger 5m and 6m containers where unsupported roof spans are greater.

Correct bar count is essential for even load distribution. This 3-bar pack is sized for 5m and 6m containers only. For 2.25m and 3m containers, select the 1-bar pack. For 4m containers, select the 2-bar pack.

Applications and Usage

• Container stacking — required when placing one Kovobel container on top of another for 5m and 6m units
• High-snow-load environments — upland, rural and northern UK sites with significant snowfall
• Self-storage facilities — stacked large-format units meeting safe working load requirements
• Industrial and agricultural premises — structural reinforcement for long-span 5m and 6m roofs
