Second Hand Containers For Sale UK
Buying a container is often economically and environmentally responsible. It's cheaper than building and usually a lot faster and you can move from lorry to work in a matter of days.
We have new and used shipping containers. Our used containers are generally 9-14 years old and have a few scratches, scuffs and scratches but in good condition.
Storage
A storage unit is a perfect solution if space is at an all-time low or you need to protect expensive items from the elements. Often the choice is between purchasing a new container or a used one. Many new containers are delivered flat and can help reduce delivery costs and assembly time. They're still durable and secure, as well as man-portable in this design. They're also available in 20ft standard height or 40ft high cube options and can be joined together to create larger storage areas.
Many people think that second-hand containers are damaged beyond repair However, this couldn't be more far from the reality. The majority of our used storage containers have a long time of service remaining and are in good structural condition. They do not have any major holes or rust damage.

Shipping containers are a versatile and long-lasting product that can be reused multiple times throughout their lifespan. They can be used as storage units, but more and more people choose to modify the containers after purchase in order to maximise their potential. Some of the most popular uses are the garden shed as well as a home gym, or a workshop to store machinery and tools.
Shipping containers are often recycled at the end of their operational lives, but it's far more environmentally friendly to repurpose containers for different uses and keep these precious pieces of steel in circulation for as long as is possible. This can reduce carbon emissions from carbon embodied and minimize the need to further harm the environment through recycling or melting.
Cafes
Cafes are restaurants serving drinks and food. Their cozy, casual spaces and flexible hours make them very popular. Cafes, unlike restaurants tend to offer casual meals such as sandwiches and lighter meals. Art exhibits and other cultural activities may be held to encourage participation from the community. The term is distinct from the sterile 'Coffee Shop", which has an older connotation in Australia and UK.
Offices

It could be as simple as painting, or as intricate as adding internal walls and heating. Some transform them into recording studios or swimming pools!

Our depots across the nation have a variety of containers, including those for standard office spaces schools, gyms, and more.
Shipping containers can last for up to twenty years. It is essential that they are well maintained. This means that any dents, holes or major areas of corrosion should be addressed prior to being put to use. We conduct an extensive inspection of all of our second-hand containers before they leave our depots. We check whether they are wind and water secure, that there aren't holes or large areas of rust and that the doors are functioning. We also verify their structural stability and make sure that they can withstand a voyage on the high seas.
The majority of our used containers in good condition, and we only sell the lowest 10-15%. Buying used can save money and protect the environment. Reusing an existing container keeps it out of a scrap yard, and also reduce emissions generated by its manufacturing. In addition, you'll be reusing a unit that has already completed a journey on the high seas and will therefore have served as a strong building material during its lifetime on the shipping fleet.
