Possibilities of using a decommissioned container

Without complicated construction work, the container can be used immediately, for example, for:

• Seasonal goods or material
• Construction material and tools on construction sites
• Sports equipment, bicycles, skis
• Supplies for small businesses (craftsmen, e-shops)

• Owners of family houses and gardens
• Small businesses and tradesmen
• Construction and agricultural companies
• Recreational centers or cottage areas
• DIY enthusiasts looking for a place for a workshop

Where to place a decommissioned container?

A container can be placed practically anywhere on your own land where there is a flat and load-bearing surface. The most common locations are gardens, yards, industrial areas, construction sites, agricultural holdings or parking lots. If you need a mobile warehouse, the container can be moved if necessary.

What can be stored and how big is the space?

The size of a standard 20-foot container (approx. 6.1 m × 2.44 m × 2.59 m) offers an internal volume of around 33 m³. This means that you can easily store, for example:

• Two lawnmowers, garden furniture, tools and several large shelves for small items
• Hundreds of boxes or crates with goods or material
• Pallets with construction material
• Complete workshop equipment including work tables and machines

Why build a simple workshop from a container?

A container workshop is quick to build, safe and durable. Compared to building a small building, there is no need for foundations, permits and construction costs. Just place the container in a suitable place and possibly add simple modifications – for example, internal shelves, a work table, electricity or minor ventilation.

Advantages of a container workshop:

• Immediate readiness for use
• Protection of tools and machines from the weather and thieves
• Possibility of locking
• Easy mobility if needed

Recommendations and ideas for effective use

• Internal organization: Equip the container with shelves, tool hooks or work tables.
• Protection against moisture: Consider installing a simple ventilation opening or dehumidifier, or place pallets on the floor.
• Safety: Locking from the outside and inside, or add a security lock or camera.
• Color and appearance: An exterior paint can not only treat rust, but also match the warehouse to the surroundings.

Inspiration for further use

A decommissioned shipping container can be more than just a warehouse or workshop. With a little creativity, it can be used as a garden house, bicycle storage, small studio, seasonal goods storage, or even as a temporary office.
