Storage
A storage unit is a perfect solution if space is at a premium or you need to shield expensive items from the elements. It is often a choice between buying a brand new container or a used one. A lot of new containers are flat-packed and can help reduce the cost of delivery and assembly. They're still durable and safe, and they're also man-portable in this format. These cubes are available in standard heights of 20ft or 40ft and can be combined to create larger storage spaces.

Shipping containers are a versatile and durable product which can be reused numerous times over the course of their life. While they can be used as storage units, more and more people are opting to customize them after purchase to make the most use of their potential. Some of the most popular uses are the garden shed and a home gym as well as a workshop for storing machinery and tools.
Shipping containers are typically recycled at the end of their operational lives, but it's more environmentally friendly to repurpose them for other uses and keep these precious pieces of steel in circulation for as long as is possible. This can help reduce carbon emissions from the embodied part and minimize the need for further environmental damage via recycling or melting down.
Cafes
Cafes are eateries that serve drinks and food. Their cosy, informal environments and flexible hours of operation make them popular. Unlike restaurants, which often serve formal meals cafes are more likely to offer laid-back menu items such as sandwiches and light meals. Art displays and other cultural events may be planned to promote community involvement. The term is distinct from the neutral "Coffee Shop" which has a broader meaning in Australia and in the UK.
Offices
You can do whatever you want with a container you own (unlike if you were renting one). Many of our clients choose to customize their containers after purchasing them. This could be as simple as painting or as complicated as adding internal walls and heating. Some people even turn them into recording studios or swimming pools!
