About 10 Ft Shipping Container

A 10 Ft shipping container is large enough to hold the contents of most smaller homes like a condo, and perfect for storing furniture, appliances, and boxes during home renovations or between moves.

They come standard with barn doors. All of our container walls, floors, and doors are solid. On new models, doors function and seal perfectly. New ones are also water and rodent tight.

Shipping Container Buying Options

New or One-Trip: These container units make one trip across the ocean, and are then sold in the secondary market. They are as new as anyone can get them. Some minor dents are common, but these are in terrific shape. They usually have more vents (10 of them), easy open handles, greaseable door hinges, and shielded lock boxes to protect from bolt cutters (making them even more secure). These come in a range of colours with the most popular being beige, dark grey, dark green, black, white, and dark blue.

Used Shipping Container: A used container unit is usually around 15 years old. These containers will be slightly rougher, but are still solid. They usually have two vents and doors will still work and seal fairly well. Most commonly these come in dark blue, reddish brown, yellow, and light grey.

Best Use Cases For A 10 Ft Sea Can

Guard Stations

The smaller size of 10-foot containers makes them great for use as guard stations. Put them in high-traffic areas to control access or monitor security.

Storage Units

Perfect for businesses or homes with limited space, a 10-foot container provides secure, weatherproof storage for furniture, appliances, tools, inventory, equipment, and whatever else you can think of.

Workshops

If you don’t have a shed or garage, set up a backyard workshop in a 10-foot container. They’re perfect for mechanics, artisans, or contractors who need a portable or permanent workspace.

Mobile Offices

For on-site project management, a 10-foot container can be used as a cozy mobile office. It’s the right size for a desk, chair, and filing cabinets, making a quiet, secure space to work from on any job site.

Tiny Homes

Looking for a minimalist lifestyle? With some work, a 10-foot container can be turned into a tiny home, customized with windows, insulation, plumbing, heat, and electricity to create a cozy, inexpensive, and green living space.

Garden Sheds

A 10-foot sea can is a great option for homeowners that need a garden shed. Put one in your backyard and store gardening tools, lawnmowers, rakes, shovels, and other tools there.

Emergency Shelters

In disaster situations, a 10-foot container can be used as an emergency shelter. Easy to move, they can be set up with a bed and other living necessities for temporary housing.
