Professional installation for every TMG Industrial storage shelter, container shelter, and dual truss building. We know every model number in their lineup.
Bottom line
We install every TMG Industrial model — ST single-truss, DT dual-truss, and the container peak shelters. Pricing's on the homepage table, same number whether you bought TMG or any other brand. ST series goes up in a day; DT series takes two and needs the truss pairs aligned within 1/4" or the cover won't tension. Cover phase needs a calm-wind day above –5°C. TMG's 1-year warranty is shorter than some Canadian brands — read it before you buy.
TMG Industrial is one of the biggest fabric-shelter brands selling into Canada. They run the gamut from 20×30 peak-ceiling kits at the entry-level end to 50×80 Pro Series dual-truss buildings at the top. Triple-layer PVC fabric on the V-suffix lines, lighter PE on the E-suffix lines, galvanized steel frames, drive-through doors. The kits arrive flat-packed, the assembly manuals are decent, and the steel quality is consistent — better than some imports we've put together, comparable to the better Chinese brands.
What TMG doesn't ship with is a crew or a Canadian phone number you can call mid-assembly. Their support is by email and time-zone-shifted by half a day from anywhere on the Prairies. The product pages cheerfully say "easy to assemble." A 30×80 dual-truss with 17oz PVC fabric is not a weekend project for two guys with a manual — we've fielded a lot of "we got 60% of the way and stopped" calls from owners who tried.
The ST line (single truss) is one steel arch per bay. Lighter, faster, easier to align. A 3-person crew puts up a 30×60 ST in a day if the pad's ready. The DT line (dual truss) is two parallel arches bolted across each bay with crossbeams — same shape, twice the steel, much more rigid against snow and wind. The DT install isn't twice as hard but it's noticeably more careful work. Every truss pair has to align within about 1/4" across the diagonal, and the bolt-torque sequence matters. If you skip the alignment check on a DT and just send it, the cover won't tension evenly and you'll be re-doing peak trim for the rest of the day.
The Pro Series DT5080 with 32oz PVC is the longest-lasting kit in the TMG lineup based on what we've seen on Prairie sites. The cover survives Chinook events better than the lighter PVC and the frame doesn't deflect under snow load the way the lighter DT models do.
These mount to two 20-ft or 40-ft shipping containers as the side walls. Useful when the customer already has containers on-site for storage and wants weather protection between them. Install is simpler than a freestanding shelter because the containers serve as the anchor points and the structure mounts directly to the container roofs. Quick word of caution: container roofs aren't always level. Check before mounting; otherwise the cover sits asymmetrically and you'll have a wave in the apex line for the life of the building.
Three things to know if you're about to take delivery of a TMG kit:
Installation covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment (manlifts), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup.
MaxCon has a commercial relationship with MAX Storage Buildings; this does not affect our pricing or which brands we install.
Same pricing applies regardless of brand. Find your size, that's your price.

Single-truss ST series in the 20×30 to 30×60 range goes up in 1 day with a 3-person crew on a prepared pad. Dual-truss DT series at 30×80 or 50×80 Pro Series takes 2 days because the parallel truss alignment and bolt-up needs to be precise. Container peak shelters go up in half a day if the containers are already set in their final position. Cover phase always needs a calm-wind day — we won't pull a TMG cover in winds above 25 km/h, full stop.
Pricing is on the homepage table — same number whether the kit is TMG, Cover-Tech, Uncle Wiener, or anything else. Examples: 20×40 install $4,888; 30×60 install $9,888; 40×80 install $11,888; 50×80 Pro Series install $12,888. Includes full crew, frame, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment beyond what we bring (manlifts you don't have on-site), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup.
ST is single-truss — one arch per bay, lighter steel, faster assembly. DT is dual-truss — two parallel arches bolted into a wider effective truss with crossbeams. DT models handle higher snow and wind loads but need careful alignment during bolt-up; if you're 1/4" off across the truss pair, the cover doesn't tension correctly and you fight peak trim for the rest of the install. The DT Pro Series with 32oz PVC is the most rigid TMG kit we install and the longest-lived in the lineup.
Yes. TMG's 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects in the kit components — that's separate from the install workmanship. Their warranty doesn't require their installer (they don't have one in Canada anyway). Our 12-month workmanship warranty covers crew assembly errors. Read both before signing — TMG's is shorter than some Canadian-made brands and shorter than the cover lifespan, so don't assume the cover is warranted past year 1.
Compacted gravel pad sized 2 ft larger than the building footprint each side, level to within 2 inches across the diagonals. All TMG boxes opened, parts inventoried against the packing list (TMG kits occasionally arrive with missing hardware — easier to chase before install day than during). Clear access for our truck and a manlift if you don't have one on-site. We do a parts check with you when we arrive; if anything's missing we order it before we start the frame.
Yes, but the cover phase has a temperature window. PVC fabric on the ST and DT lines stiffens below –5°C and is harder to tension correctly without micro-tears on the seams. We install frames year-round but schedule the cover for the next mild day above –5°C with low wind. On the 11oz PE single-truss models, the temperature constraint is similar — the lighter material is actually more brittle in cold than the heavier PVC.
