Dimensions and capacity of the 20ft container

The 20-foot shipping container is one of the most common and efficient storage solutions. It is made of durable steel and is designed to withstand the rigors of shipping and long-term storage. The standard outside dimensions of a 20-foot container are:

• Width: 2.44 m
• Height: 2.59 m

Internal dimensions are:

Use of a decommissioned shipping container for garden supply stores

Originally designed to transport goods around the world, shipping containers have found a wide range of applications beyond their primary life cycle due to their robust construction and durability. One excellent example of their secondary use is storage for garden supply stores. These containers provide an efficient solution for storing goods, tools or materials needed for customers and shop premises maintenance.

Product and tool storage

The organisation of storage space is key for garden supply stores. A 20-foot shipping container offers plenty of space for different types of garden products. This includes such items as pots, substrates, fertilizers, seeds, garden chemicals and other smaller products. Thanks to the container’s sturdy construction, all products are safely protected from moisture, dust and adverse weather conditions.

In addition to products for sale, garden tools can also be stored in the container. From small hand tools such as rakes, hoes and shears to larger equipment such as mowers, verticutters or sprayers. For better visibility and organisation, the interior of the container can be equipped with shelves, hooks or storage boxes.

Maintenance of the shop area

Every garden shop needs regular maintenance of its premises, whether it is landscaping the outdoor areas, watering the plants or cleaning the indoor areas. A shipping container can serve as an ideal storage space for the equipment that is necessary for these activities. This could be brooms, hoses, buckets, cleaning kits or even small tractors or carts.

Thanks to the flexibility of the container, it is easy to create separate sections within its interior. In this way, goods intended for customers can be separated from tools and materials used for internal shop needs.

Storage for customers

Another interesting use of the container is the possibility to offer customers a place to store their purchased goods. This can be particularly useful when a customer purchases large quantities of substrate, heavy pots or larger gardening equipment and is unable to take everything away immediately. The container can serve as a temporary storage facility where the goods will be safely stored until they are taken away.

How much can fit in a 20ft container?

A 20ft shipping container offers approximately 33m³ of internal space. That’s plenty of room to store a range of garden products and tools. For example, one container can comfortably store:

• hundreds of bags of fertiliser or substrate,
• dozens of larger pots,
• several lawnmowers or other larger garden equipment,
• shelves full of small items such as gloves, shears or seeds.

Thanks to the careful arrangement of the space and the use of a shelving system, the capacity of the container can be maximised.

Advantages of storage in a shipping container

• Security-Shipping containers are made of durable steel, ensuring protection against theft and the weather.
• Flexibility-Containers can be easily relocated according to the current needs of the business.
• Durability-Due to their construction, the containers are resistant to moisture, mold and pests.
• Economical Solution-Discarded containers provide an affordable alternative to building new storage facilities.
• Versatility-The ability to store different types of products, tools or even offer space to customers.

Shipping container storage is a modern, practical and environmentally friendly solution for garden supply stores. With their versatility, you can maximize the use of space, secure your goods and even increase convenience for your customers. Thus, a discarded shipping container can be not only a functional but also an aesthetically interesting addition to your store.
