Need A Storage Shed At Home? How About A Mini Container?

19 January 2017
 Categories: , Blog

Storage is a huge necessity at home, especially if you have a large family. A storage solution allows you to keep your home neat and tidy. The most common storage solution in homes across the country is storage sheds. These are placed anywhere outdoors and they complement what your garage or storage room cannot handle. If you are looking for such a storage solution, how about getting a mini container as opposed to traditional sheds? Read on to learn more. 

What is a mini container?

A mini container is a shipping container that has been cut and reduced in size. Shipping containers are popular when it comes to storage. However, they are manufactured in large sizes that may not be practical for home use. Through fabrication and modification, smaller mini containers are crafted to fit in any residential backyard in the country. You can buy a ready-made mini container or you can order a custom one in your desired dimensions.  

How to get a mini container

Mini containers are available from outlets that sell or rent out shipping containers. Most companies that do this type of work also have modified containers, such as mini containers. You can buy a unit outright or you can rent it for a specific period. You can order your unit online and have it delivered to your doorstep or you can buy in it person. The choice is yours. There are plenty of outlets that deal with this so you should be spoilt for choice. 

Advantages of a mini container over a traditional shed

  • Mini containers feature a more robust frame that guarantees better security and durability. Mini containers are also wind and water resistant.
  • A mini container does not need installation while a traditional shed must be installed permanently on site. A mini container is, therefore, cheaper to set up.
  • A mini container is portable while a traditional shed is not. It can, therefore, be moved about as needs warrant in the course of time. 
  • A mini container can be hired out while a traditional shed can only be bought. You can, therefore, source a mini container even if on a tight budget.

Note that you can also have your mini container further modifies to fit your storage needs better. For example, you can ask to have shelves, storage hooks, drawers, cabinets, and other types of storage facilities installed. Of course, this may come at an extra fee, besides the buying price.
