A container of hardened, fiber-reinforced synthetic resin and high stability is manufactured by forming a wound-up structure on a shaping core born on the shaft of a winding machine together with fittings for the two open container ends, of different size, and being clamped against the two core ends by means of fixing members held in position on the winding shaft during winding. One of the fittings is provided with an annular groove for anchoring the wound-up structure therein. The fixing members and fittings are of such shape that the winding affords a wound-up structure having end openings of equal size so that a geodetic depositing of the wrapped layers is possible. After the structure is hardened, the portion thereof extending beyond the fitting having an opening of larger diameter than that closed by the other fitting is cut off, so that a container closed by the first fitting and open through the second fitting is obtained. Between the fittings and the wound-up fiber-reinforced structure inserts of elastic, temperature-resistant material can be provided which prevents detachment of the fittings from the structure, so that the resulting container is leak-free.
