Explore our site below to learn what truly sets us apart from conventional turbine and louvred venting options.
What makes us different?
What makes us your best choice for shipping container/conex venting solutions? We invented, manufacture, and market our own patented “flow through” technology to address the complex venting challenges of re-purposing a seagoing shipping container (conex) into a reliable storage facility.
How does it work?
The DRY-CON X® Ventilation System consists of an Exhaust and Intake. Our multi-patented Exhaust Vent design creates a
“Venturi Effect” when air passes over or through the vent . The vacuum this creates pulls stale, moist air out of the enclosure and then fresh, ambient air is pulled through the Intake Vent completing the multiple, daily air exchanges necessary to prevent moisture buildup and mitigate excessive heat.
Continue exploring our website to learn how we can give you the best protection available regardless of your climate conditions.

Yes, it really works. Here’s proof—
We already know that traditional louvered venting can not create the “drive” necessary for continuous air exchanges and is not an effective solution when you need constant airflow. It’s an engineering fact. Our multi-patented technology now makes that possible. Explore for yourself!

How Many Do I Need and Where Do I Put Them?
How do the Vents Work?
The goal of the DRY- CON X ® system is to utilize outside air currents with a combination of Intake and Exhaust Vents to create a “flow through” situation inside the container that exhausts old, stale, moisture laden air and replaces it with fresher, ambient outside air. This is the key to moisture prevention.
How Many Do I Need ?
For a 20 foot container we recommend 1 Intake Vent and 1 Exhaust Vent. For a 40 foot container and high cube we recommend 2 Intake Vents and 2 Exhaust Vents.
British Columbia By-Law requires all containers, regardless of size to have 2 Intake Vents and 2 Exhaust Vents.

Where Do I Put Them ?
Proper placement of our system in your individual location will ensure maximum performance. Primary variables to consider include the container size, the direction the doors face, the direction the wind is COMING FROM and common existing wind patterns and speeds at your location. (No concern about gusty or chaotic wind as they actually enhance the performance of the DRY-CON X® system.)
Please Note
Keeping a large metal box condensation free without power is not always simple and some locations are tougher than others.
For the best performance with our product,
download our free guide, “8 Steps to a Dry Container,” and implement whatever is possible.
We want success for all our customers, so please review the placement guide to ensure all the variables have been considered when designing your ventilation system.
We welcome your call if you have questions.
Installation
360 Products sets the standard for easy installation – Easy installation after hole cutting
Once the vent locations are determined, mark the port openings as per the cut-out instructions for both the Exhaust and the Intake.
Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the vents on the interior or exterior to allow adequate air flow.
For step-by-step walkthrough, read the full details below.
Installation
After determining the vent locations, mark the exhaust port and intake openings per instructions below. Cut out the center vertically and horizontally.

5. Remove the tape backing on the vents and adapter plate (if required) and press in place. Press well to make sure initial contact is made. Cure is
secure
at 40% (after 20 minutes). The 3M® tape takes about 24 hours to cure completely.
6. The commercial grade tape has outstanding adhesion properties and provides an excellent weather seal. An exterior sealant is recommended for the top of the intake and the top and bottom of the adapter plates (if required).
You are done…
it’s that easy!
*Note the different profiles on the Exhaust Adapter Plates
Top return functions as a sealant shelf to ensure a good seal under the top beam of the container
The back side of the Adapter Plate shows the exhaust port that protrudes into the container.
Important Notes
If the vents are being used for fume mitigation, the Exhaust Adapter Plate will need to be inverted and placed at the bottom of the container.
Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the vents on the interior or exterior to allow adequate air flow.
Some older sea cans have deeper channels on the front and back and may require side mounted vents.
Combustibles, flammables and harsh chemicals are not to be stored in shipping containers. Our vents do not prevent explosions from improperly stored chemicals.

FOUR SEASONS TEST RESULTS
“Bob,
I just wanted to let you know that the vent system I bought from you back in November 2021 has been working out great in my 20 foot container. I wanted to take it through “all the seasons” here in central Virginia where we have moderate temperatures in the winter and very high humidity in the summer before I sent a review. No condensation or fumes inside whatsoever! Very satisfied.”

Grain Storage in Texas!
“I can’t explain what a difference your product has made for my container. On a day like yesterday with high heat and humidity the inside of that container would normally be unbearable. Thousands of pounds of feed, a sealed container, high heat and humidity created toxic fumes that were overwhelming. Your venting system has corrected these issues and now my container is comfortable to enter even on these extreme days.
Thank you for a great product!”

Note from 360 Products: John has reported to us that he has zero grain loss now since installing the vent system over 1 year ago. This was beyond even our expectations in a situation this complex.

Hi Bob,
We installed the 2 sets of vents on my 40’ container 3 weeks ago. I’m happy to say, when you swing the doors open, there is little or no odor coming from the insecticide treated floors. I have begun to store items in it and feel confident the problem is solved. Thank you very much for speaking with me for nearly an hour and making me feel like the concerns with my container were important to you. That is very rare in these times. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Goodbye Gas Fumes
“I recently reached out to the experts at 360 Products to help with ventilation of my 40′ shipping container used to house equipment for our construction business. Gasoline fumes were overwhelming before I installed their products. This system requires no electricity and totally solved our issue. Customer support is second to none. I highly recommend this company. Thanks for the fresh air!”

IMPRESSED WITH VENTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
“Wanted to let you know that I am impressed with your Vents. Also, really impressed that you answered your phone on 4th of July to help me. I realize that you did not have to do so and most would not have. Customer Service is extremely difficult to find anymore. I have told several friends about you. Thank you again for your help and expertise”

“I have no problem with you sharing our feedback, especially to fellow Naval personnel. [Y]ou’ll be pleased to hear that my supervisor had a chance to see the finished product after the install I did, and he is very pleased that not only the obvious functionality of the vent (feeling the breeze, he said), but also the aesthetic look the[y] add. We are definitely satisfied with your product and would recommend it to anyone in need of such a thing.”
6 Week Follow-Up
“The vents are doing a fantastic job and seems to be mitigating any form of moisture intrusion inside the Conex. All in all you have much to be proud about with this outstanding product and we would be happy to recommend it to anyone.”

I’M SHOCKED AT HOW WELL THIS HAS WORKED!
May 15, 2019
Yesterday when I started (installing the container vents) over half the container had “container rain.” Today the container ceiling is completely dry and the floor is much drier. And it rained overnight!
May 31, 2019 – UPDATE 2 WEEKS LATER!
Those vents have now been on the container for almost 2 weeks through record rainfall. The container is drier than it has ever been and the gear stored inside is beginning to not smell musty. I’m shocked at how well this has worked!

School District’s Mildew Problem Solved
“I installed your 360 container vent system back in Sept 2019. I am reviewing this product a year and five months later. I used two intakes and two exhaust per 40 foot container as suggested. We had a terrible problem with container rain and mildew build up. After we installed this system we cleaned all the mildew off the ceiling of four different containers and have not had a problem since. These vents work! Thanks Bob for your help in deciding to purchase this product.”
