Layers of Protection in Every Feature
Our vents are designed to tackle moisture, heat, fumes, odours, and the risk of explosion.
Our Systems
Easy Installation, no future headaches.
Takes only minutes. Follow our easy installation guide and once your vents are installed, no follow-up or maintenance is required.
Contains no moving parts.
Air flow is driven without the use of fans or electricity.
no power required.
On or off-grid – our vents are always working! They rely solely on external air movement.
Reduces Pressure Build-up.
Wind gusts will promote an even stronger performance.
Prevents moisture, extracts fumes, manages heat.
Our vents regulate temperature and moisture in your shipping containers.
The technology in our vent system uses outside airflow to create a flow-through vacuum effect. So, when air passes through the exhaust port, it pulls the stale, moist air out of the enclosure while fresh air is pulled in through the intake vent. This process allows for multiple air exchanges to occur every day to prevent moisture build-up and excess heat and fumes to release.
It’s simple.

360 Vent System
Whirlybird
Requires cut-outs in the container roof
Needs a minimum of 2mph airflow to spin
Because of whirlybird placement containers cannot be stacked
Parts will require replacement or repair over time
Winter snow will need to be removed to ensure proper operation
Potential for moisture leaks from incorrect roof placement
No Roof Holes Required
Always working, no matter the weather
Containers are stackable
No moving parts means no part replacement required
Snow on roofs in winter is no concern
No danger of roof leaks from incorrect installation
Simply determine and then mark your exhaust port and intake openings.
Step one
Cut the rectangle holes and clean off any filings
Step two
Prep the surface and clean thoroughly.
Step three
Ensure vents are free from obstructions both in and out of the container to ensure proper air flow.
Older shipping containers may have deeper channels on the front and back that may require side mounted vents
While our vents allow for fume mitigation to prevent dangerous build-up, combustible and flammable materials and other harsh chemicals should not be stored in containers. Vents will not prevent fires and explosions from improperly stored materials.

About us
Working in conjunction with our local fire department, we set out to offer a better option than the rooftop whirlybird, with its inefficient design and large required ceiling cut outs. We discovered a product that was already being used south of the border, that was not only more efficient but also easy to install. 360 Vent Systems quickly became the authorized Canadian distributor for 360 Products North America. Our vents are proudly manufactured in Vancouver B.C. and can be shipped nationally across Canada.
360 Vent Systems has been proudly operating in Kamloops B.C. since 2024, after we set out to find a more practical venting alternative for storage containers.
Any questions?
We got you.
How many vents do I need on my container?
For a 20-foot container looking to solely control condensation, we recommend 1 intake and 1 exhaust vent mounted up high on the container wall. For a 20-foot container looking to mitigate fumes and increase total air movement, we recommend 2 intake and 2 exhaust vents- one mounted high, the other low. For a 40-foot container or high cube, we recommend 2 intakes and 2 exhaust vents. Note: British Columbia Fire Code and Kamloops by-law requires all containers, regardless of size to have 2 intakes and 2 exhaust vents.

I live in an area with really high humidity, how can I ensure condensation is kept to a minimum?
Why do the exhaust vent and the intake vent look completely different?
Installing your vents is easy! But does it last?
Why could I not just use any other vent (like a louvered design) for the intake?
Why are the vents made out of plastic?

How many vents do I need on my container?
There are a few primary considerations to take into account like, container size, the direction that the doors face, and common wind direction and speeds (gusty or chaotic winds are no concern as they can actually improve our vent’s performance.). For your best results, mount the intake at the opposite end of the container from the exhaust vent. Ensure to mount the exhaust vent at the end of the container that typically sees the most wind.

Each vent in the kit performs a completely different task. The exhaust vent is actually the driving force and is working to generate airflow. While the intake, allows air into the container to replace the air that the exhaust vent is pulling out. The vents may look different but were designed to work in conjunction to ensure optimum performance and require no DIY modifications to vent your container.

Unlike our system, louvered vents allow wind to blow inside at all incoming angles. This “blow-in” cannot be controlled and can allow anything airborne to enter the container like ash, pollen, dust, snow, fumes, etc. Our hooded and screened intake vent is designed to keep weather and critters out, while also greatly reducing pollution entry. The louvre design also fits differently to the container profiles and creates a large gap that can often prove difficult to seal properly.

Our vents are made of Polycarbonate plastic that allows the integrity of vent’s precise design to be maintained. Each vent’s shape, curve, angle, and flare must be precise or its operational integrity could be compromised. We also noted while metal products are easily dented and damaged, our vents are practically indestructible and have even maintained their shape after being run over by an SUV. There have also been instances of electrolysis that have occurred with the use of aluminum vents on containers near the ocean.

The double-sided adhesive tape we use to install our vents was selected specifically by the engineers at 3M for our application. It is the same material used in high-rise building construction in places like Dubai to replace rivets and welding. It might be overkill, but that’s the idea.
