We offer for sale a used shipping container with a length of 20 feet (6 meters) in AS IS 10 quality. This is a decommissioned unit that, although showing signs of use, will still serve excellently as a massive, lockable storage space. The container is intended for those looking for a cost-effective solution and who do not need a perfect appearance – it will be especially appreciated by small-scale breeders, to whom we offer practical use tailored to their needs. Container transport is free of charge after meeting the conditions below, throughout the Czech Republic.

The container has a small hole on the side and on the roof – reflected in the price. See photos for details.

Dimensions, load capacity and volume of the 20-foot container

A standard 20-foot container has these approximate dimensions: internal length 5.90 m, width 2.35 m, and height 2.39 m. The total volume is approximately 33 m³ and the load capacity exceeds 28,000 kg. Even after taking into account minor defects, it remains exceptionally spacious and sturdy – you can easily store tons of material, tools, or feed in it. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

Condition of the container AS IS 10

The container is sold in “as-is” condition, i.e. AS IS 10. This means it has been retired from regular service but still retains its basic functionality. There are small holes on the side and roof, which are reflected in the price and do not represent a significant obstacle to storing waterproof material. You can view details of the damage in the attached photographs. This container is definitely not suitable for conversions or modifications to the load-bearing structure – it is ideal precisely for its original purpose, i.e. storage.

Use of a decommissioned container for small-scale breeders

We offer for sale a shipping container that has a small opening on the side and roof. These defects are reflected in the price and you can view the details in the attached photographs. This is a decommissioned container whose condition no longer meets the requirements for demanding conversions or modifications to the load-bearing structure. Despite these limitations, however, it still represents an excellent solution for practical storage – especially for small-scale breeders looking for an affordable, safe, and spacious storage space for everything they need for their breeding activities.

Why choose a decommissioned container as storage

The container is made of a durable steel construction that, even after being retired from transport, provides protection against weather influences and unauthorized entry. Even with minor damage, it retains strength and durability that surpasses classic wooden sheds or sheet metal garages. Due to the openings, it is not completely watertight, but for most storage needs this is an insignificant detail that can be easily covered with a simple patch, without having to deal with building permits or complex modifications. The price is significantly more favorable compared to undamaged containers, making it an exceptionally advantageous choice for those who do not need luxury but functionality.

What can be stored in the container

A 20-foot container offers an interior space of approximately 5.9 × 2.35 × 2.39 meters, which means a usable volume of around 33 cubic meters. This is a space that can accommodate a huge amount of equipment, tools, and supplies. Let’s look at what specific items you can safely place in it:

Equipment and tools for breeding

All tools, such as shovels, rakes, pitchforks, wheelbarrows, or electric mowers, will find a safe haven in the container. Smaller tools, screwdrivers, pliers, or assembly straps can be stored on shelves that you can easily install along the walls. You can also store feed dispensers, waterers, portable fences, plastic feed boxes, and other equipment that takes up space in a regular workshop or shed. Thanks to the container, you will have everything clearly in one place, protected from rust and thieves.

Feed and bedding

A big advantage of storage in a steel container is protection from moisture and pests. Bags of grain, pellets, hay, straw, or shavings will stay dry and clean. A 20-foot container can comfortably hold several dozen bales of straw or several pallets of feed mixture for poultry. The feed will not become damp and spoil, which you will appreciate especially in the winter months. It can also handle storing bulkier feed mixtures for rabbits, sheep, or goats – there is plenty of space.

Equipment for animals and the animals themselves

The container can also be used to store cages, transport boxes, nests, incubators, run nets, or watering systems. If you have a smaller farm, you will appreciate the possibility of storing the animals themselves – whether it’s temporary housing during reconstruction of the stable, or winter protection for fragile species. By placing several portable rabbit hutches or poultry pens in the container, for example, you create an insulated winter shelter for rabbits or pheasants. You just need to provide appropriate ventilation – and thanks to the side and roof openings, you already have basic air circulation ensured. The animals will stay dry and out of drafts. You can use the easily washable floor of the container for bedding.

Maintenance and seasonal needs

Seasonal equipment, such as garden sprayers, snow blowers, shade covers for runs, pools for ducks, or mobile fences, takes up unnecessary space in the garage. In the container, you can safely store these devices away from the house and still have easy access to them. You can also store spare parts for small tractors, chainsaws, or pumps, which would otherwise be scattered in various places. The container thus transforms into a practical technical facility for your small-scale breeding activities.

How much actually fits in a 20-foot container

For a better idea of the capacity, here are a few examples. In a 20-foot long container you can typically stack:

• up to 100 bags of pelleted feed with a volume of 25 kg,
• 30 large bales of straw or hay,
• 5 complete rabbit hutches with accessories,
• 2 motor mowers and a snow blower at the same time – and there will still be room for pallets with tools and small machinery.

The raised ceiling also allows vertical storage, so by adding simple shelves you can use every cubic centimeter. Tires, water barrels, or large animal transport boxes can be stacked in the container without major difficulty, and thanks to the double-wing doors, unloading is very comfortable.

What to keep in mind when using a damaged container

It should be kept in mind that this container is not intended for demanding conversions, such as cutting out windows, doors, or making major structural changes. Small holes on the side and roof do not represent a significant defect for storage function, but if you want to use the container for housing animals, we recommend temporarily covering the openings (for example, with sheet metal, a wooden patch, or a heavy tarp). This will ensure that water does not leak in and the animals will be safe. For short-term placement of animals, however, the opening can also be left as a natural ventilation opening – the decision is up to you.

Thanks to the robust floor construction, the container can withstand considerable loads, so you can safely place heavier equipment in it. By regularly checking the condition of patches, you will ensure a long service life and minimal maintenance.

Summary of benefits for small-scale breeders

A decommissioned shipping container with minor defects offers an ideal storage space for all the needs of a small-scale breeder. You will get a durable, safe, and easily accessible storage room where you can store tools, feed, equipment, and the animals themselves. The volume of a 20-foot container is more than sufficient for the needs of a smaller farm, and your garden or yard will remain tidy and organized.
