A pair of vents placed on opposite sides of the container provide both an entrance and exit for the flow of air - this is known as cross-ventilation. As a guide, a 20ft container works best with two to four vents.

We can make vents to any required size, but our standard vent sizes are:

These vents were fitted to a container converted to house a biomass boiler. For more on this product, see this conversion case study.
