Shipping container delivery in Texas
We deliver throughout Texas, including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and El Paso. Most containers arrive on a tilt-bed truck, which slides the container straight onto your prepared spot. A 20ft container needs about 60ft of straight-line clearance and a 40ft needs about 100ft. Where access is tight, we can arrange a crane. Ground should be firm and level; gravel, concrete blocks or railroad ties all work well. See our shipping policy for details.
Climate tips for containers in Texas
In hurricane-prone areas, place the container on a level, firm base and ask us about tie-down points. Steel containers are far stronger in high winds than sheds or garages. Humidity can cause condensation inside bare steel, so we recommend vents, an anti-condensation coating or an insulated container for stored furniture, paper or electronics. In strong sun and heat, a light paint color, roof vents or an insulated container keeps the inside much cooler. Insulated container offices are popular for job sites.
