Frequently asked questions
What is an 8ft shipping container made of?
Our 8ft mini container is built from galvanized, pre-painted steel with a 20mm laminated plywood floor, a rubber door seal, and double cargo doors with a lockbox and galvanized locking rods.
Can I add a second door to an 8ft container?
Yes. You can add a second set of double doors on the short side for access from both ends, plus shelving, racking and partitions inside.
Is an 8ft container better than a garden shed?
For security and durability, yes. A steel container resists weather, pests and break-ins far better than a wooden shed, needs almost no maintenance, and can be moved if you relocate.
