Posted by Container Domes Direct on July 15th, 2021

It seems like everybody has a common problem in their life: not having enough storage. Whether it be little things around the house or having too many cars, trucks or machinery, it can be a nightmare to safely store and house your beloved possessions. We have created an innovative solution to this problem, and it won’t hurt your back pocket either. Here are just a few things you should know about shipping container sheds.

Firstly, the number of options and combinations available are staggering! Whatever you use your shipping container shed for, we guarantee there is a design for you. Shipping container sheds are fully customisable, meaning you can chop and change to your exact desire! You can have a small structure of a single container with an awning, or a double container, double truss structure, allowing up to 2500m2 of storage space. Also, walls can be added, allowing a fully enclosed structure if required, great for extra protection.

If you have not noticed already, shipping container sheds are becoming more common. This is not unreasonable, and this is for one simple reason: price. Having a shipping container shed is much more cost-effective than a traditional shed, mostly due to the fact of not having to construct the shed; it is already completed! Eliminating the labour cost saves the customer thousands of dollars, which we can agree is always a positive!

Shipping container sheds allow for an extremely durable and strong structure. We have to remember the original purpose of a container, transporting goods in the harsh terrain, across the planet, for years on end. That being said, a container will easily be able to withstand the weather, and anything else that may be thrown in its direction, with ease. Although these structures are extremely strong, they can be transported! Unlike traditional sheds, shipping container sheds can easily be transported by truck, meaning that your investment in the shed is not lost if you have to re-locate.

Another reason shipping container sheds are becoming more common is due to the multitude of add-ons and attachments available. You can use the shed simply for the protection of machinery or stock, or you can add front and back walls and have a fully enclosed structure. By having a fully enclosed structure, you can house more precious items as they will be more protected.

Shipping container sheds boast a few aspects that a traditional shed simply cannot match. Firstly, the security. Shipping containers are extremely thick, rugged and built to last. In comparison to a normal shed, a shipping container's steel is much thicker, therefore much harder to break in or damage. Also, a shipping container shed is essentially a "recycled" item. It is now serving its purpose as a shed, instead of transporting goods around the globe.

If you are needing more storage, or simply are looking to buy a shed, strongly consider a shipping container shed. They can save you thousands and can be fully customised to suit your requirements!
