Yard hours: Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
It holds about 160 square feet of secure, weatherproof space, roughly a single-car garage, but it stays compact enough to fit where a 40ft simply cannot: a backyard, a driveway, or a tight commercial lot. We sell them new and used, in standard, double door, and open side, all wind and watertight and backed by our lifetime leak-free warranty.

It slides into spots a 40ft cannot reach, which makes it the go-to for residential yards and smaller job sites.
A shorter container needs less clearance to deliver and is simpler to relocate down the road.
It swallows the contents of a garage, a couple of rooms, or a full job site of tools and materials.
It is the most affordable way to own secure, weatherproof storage outright.
The 20ft is a favorite for compact builds because it is affordable and easy to place, then finish out. Since we customize in-house on containers you buy from us, you can start with a 20ft and turn it into something purpose-built:
You can get a 20ft new or used. A new (one-trip) 20ft looks nearly showroom fresh and is best when the container is visible or you plan to build it out. A used 20ft costs less and is perfect for straightforward storage. See our New Containers and Used Containers pages for the full comparison.
All three door setups come in the 20ft, so you can match the container to how you load and access it.
Cargo doors on one end only. It is the most common and most affordable setup, and the easiest to place in a tight spot. Best for general storage where you load from one side.
Cargo doors on both ends, so you can load from either end or reach all the way through without climbing over anything. Handy in a compact 20ft when you want to get to the back without unpacking the front.
One full-length side swings open, turning the whole length of the container into a doorway. Great for wide items, quick access to everything at once, and loading with a forklift.
A 20ft is one of the easier containers to deliver, but you still need a clear, level spot and room for the truck to line up. As a rule of thumb, plan for a straight approach with enough length to slide the container off the bed. Our own drivers set it precisely, and we confirm the exact space with you first.
Roughly the contents of a single-car garage, or two to three rooms of household items. It is our most popular size because it stores a lot without taking over your space.
