This time of year can bring heavy rain and rodents making your plastic or wooden shed vulnerable!
Why Choose a Shipping Container Instead of a Plastic Shed?
✅ Built from Heavy-Duty Steel
* Shipping containers are made from industrial-grade corten steel designed to withstand harsh weather and ocean transport.
* Plastic sheds can crack, warp, fade, or become brittle over time.
✅ Superior Security
* Steel doors and lock boxes make containers much harder to break into.
* Plastic sheds are often vulnerable to forced entry with basic tools.
✅ Weather Resistant
* Wind and water-tight containers keep valuables protected from rain, wind, and storms.
* Plastic sheds can leak, blow over, or suffer damage in severe weather.
✅ Long-Term Durability
* A quality container can last decades with minimal maintenance.
* Plastic sheds may need repairs or replacement much sooner.
✅ Rodent Resistant
* Steel construction helps keep out mice, rats, raccoons, and other pests.
* Plastic and wooden sheds are easier for pests to damage or enter.
✅ Portable and Relocatable
* Need to move? A container can be loaded and delivered to a new location.
* Most sheds must be disassembled or left behind.
✅ More Storage Space
* A 20-foot container offers about 1,170 cubic feet of storage.
* A 40-foot container offers about 2,390 cubic feet of storage.
✅ Better Value Over Time
* While the upfront cost may be higher, a shipping container often outlasts multiple plastic sheds.
