Popular Uses for Metal Storage/Shipping Containers
There are many uses for 10 foot metal shipping containers. Here are the top reasons you and your business might need one.
SHIPPING
So the most obvious use is shipping. At around half the size of a standard garage, they’re affordable but big enough to get what you need inside.
STORAGE
If you’re renovating a space, you will need somewhere to store all the furniture and supplies. A metal shipping container is secure and small enough to remain on site.
As weatherproof spaces, they can also be used to store paperwork as an alternative to building an extension. For example medical records or government documents.
Perhaps your retail business is booming and you’ve run out of warehouse space. A shipping container can hold those excess goods until you can find a bigger space.
TEMPORARY OFFICE SPACE
Speaking of renovation, is your office in need of a spruce up or repairs but you can’t afford to lose the working hours? With the addition of lights, plywood walls, and insulation, you have a temporary office in no time.
ON-SITE STORAGE
A 10-foot metal shipping container is a great size for storing construction tools and materials on-site. It’s secure and more convenient than taking everything home every night.
They can also be used on farms, as a secure space to store farm equipment, tools, and even machinery.
POP UP SHOPS
With modifications, you can even use a storage container as a pop-up shop or food outlet. Perfect if you’re starting out or want to bring your business to the people.
Rent vs Buy
There are two options when looking to obtain a metal shipping container. One option is to rent and the other is to purchase. So, should you rent or buy?
