UnedPodRoof maintenance for a container home: leaks, drainage and fixings
The roof is the most important protection for a container home. Most leaks start at a seal, a fixing or a blocked gutter, so a regular check finds problems early.
Check the surface
Look for dents, rust spots and damaged covering. A small dent can hold water and start rust.

Clear gutters and downpipes twice a year. Check that water runs to the drain and does not pool on the roof.
Check the seals and fixings
Look at the seals around roof lights, vents and the edges. Replace worn seals and tighten loose fixings.
Treat the rust
Clean any rust spot, prime and paint the same day. Follow the steps in the rust and paint guide.
The roof types guide explains the options. Keep your roof design in the UnedPod configurator for reference.
