Dimensions, Load Capacity, and Volume of the 20-foot Container

This 20-foot container is one of the most sought-after sizes on the market. Its external dimensions are approximately 6.058 m in length, 2.438 m in width, and 2.591 m in height. The internal space offers a length of around 5.898 m, a width of 2.352 m, and a height of 2.385 m, providing a volume of approximately 33.2 m³. The maximum load capacity is around 28 tons, while the weight of the empty container is approximately 2,200–2,300 kg. These parameters make it an exceptionally versatile helper – it can easily carry heavy equipment, tools, building materials, and all the equipment of a garden house. The dimensions are approximate and may always vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.

One Way IICL 6 Quality – Guarantee of Long Service Life

The designation “one way IICL 6” means that the container was used only once for maritime transport, in accordance with the strict IICL (Institute of International Container Lessors) standards. After this single trip, it is decommissioned from maritime logistics and sold as used, but in excellent condition. The “IICL 6” classification designates a container that requires no repairs, is fully functional, clean, without serious damage, with a solid undercarriage, intact floor, sealing doors, and overall preserved structure. In practice, this means you will receive a container that is still cargo-worthy, shows no signs of corrosion threatening the statics, and will serve you for decades. For conversion into a garden house, it is absolutely ideal – you will not have to deal with rust, a leaky roof, or deformed doors.

Color RAL 5010 – Elegant Gentian Blue

The container is painted in the shade RAL 5010, known as gentian blue (Enzianblau). It is a rich, deep blue color that gives a calming impression and fits perfectly into the greenery of gardens or natural surroundings. Unlike typical rusty or gray containers, this color brings a bright and modern appearance that easily combines with wooden elements, stone cladding, or facade colors. It is resistant to weather, UV radiation, and does not fade as quickly as cheaper paints. If you are looking for a container that will not act as a disturbing industrial element in the garden, RAL 5010 is an excellent choice.

3-Bar EOD Opening and 14 Ventilation Openings

This container is equipped with a door opening system marked EOD (Easy Open Door), which uses three locking bars on each wing. Thanks to this mechanism, opening and closing the doors is easy, smooth, and does not require much force. At the same time, it ensures secure locking and excellent sealing against moisture and dust. For everyday use, this is a huge advantage – when converting to a garden house, you will appreciate being able to enter the house effortlessly.

Fourteen air vents (Air Vents) ensure natural air circulation inside the container. This is key to preventing moisture condensation, mold formation, and stale air. Whether you use the container as a tool storage, a workshop, or a living space, proper ventilation is essential. When converting to a garden house, you will appreciate these ventilation openings twice as much – they will help maintain a pleasant climate even without forced ventilation.

Conversion into a Garden House – Your New Living or Working Space

Shipping containers are increasingly becoming the basis for stylish and practical garden houses. This 20-foot container is made for such a conversion. Its solid steel construction, excellent condition, air vents, and easy-to-open doors facilitate any adaptation.

Possibilities of Use and Conversion

From the container, you can create:

• A full-fledged garden house – after insulation and installation of windows, you get a living space for guests, teenagers, or as a recreational cottage.
• A study or studio – a quiet place for working from home, artistic creation, or a craft workshop.
• A storage for garden tools and seasonal items – with interior shelves and hooks, you can perfectly organize all equipment.
• A fitness room – place an exercise bike, dumbbells, and mats and exercise in privacy.
• A sauna or relaxation room – thanks to the air vents and durable construction, you can even build a sauna world.
• A children’s playhouse – a safe space for games and adventures.

Conversion usually includes insulation (e.g., with spray foam or mineral wool), installation of windows and doors, electrical wiring, underfloor heating or a stove, interior cladding, and an exterior facade. Thanks to the standard dimensions of the container, building materials are easy to obtain, and the work goes quickly.

Who is a Garden House from a Container Suitable For?

This type of solution will be appreciated by:

• Owners of family houses with a garden – expansion of living space without complicated construction bureaucracy.
• Cottage and country house owners – as another object on the plot that replaces an old shed.
• Tradesmen and craftsmen – a mobile workshop or material storage.
• People looking for cheap and quick housing – after complete reconstruction, the container can be inhabited year-round.
• Parents with teenage children – a separate room for a teenager in the garden.

Where is a Garden House Suitable – Specifically in Košice and Surroundings

The container is stored in Košice, Slovakia, which is an ideal starting point for customers from eastern Slovakia, as well as from the Czech Republic, Poland, or Hungary. A garden house from a container is perfectly suited to suburban gardens in Košice (e.g., in city districts such as Sídlisko Ťahanovce, KVP, Košice-okolie), to recreational plots in the surroundings (e.g., near the Ružín water reservoir, in the Slovak Paradise, in the Čermeľ Valley area), or to private gardens in villages such as Šaca, Myslava, Haniska. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it fits even on smaller plots, and thanks to the blue color, it will not disturb the surrounding landscape.

Advantages of a Garden House from a Container

• Quick implementation – from purchase to moving in, only a few weeks may pass.
• Durability – the steel construction withstands wind, snow, and vandals.
• Mobility – if needed, the house can be moved to another location.
• Affordable – compared to a masonry building, you save significantly.
• Ecological approach – you give a second life to a container that would otherwise lie idle.
• Easy maintenance – occasional painting and seal check is enough.

What Can Be Stored in a Garden House

In addition to residential use, the container is also suitable as a storage. You can safely store in it:

• Garden equipment, lawn mower, brush cutter, saws.
• Tools and workshop equipment.
• Seasonal items – Christmas decorations, skis, bicycles, garden furniture.
• Building materials, paints, wood.
• Sports equipment, inflatable pools, tents.
• Things for DIY enthusiasts and hobby workshops.

Recommendations and Ideas for Conversion

• Before conversion, consider whether you want to insulate the container from the outside or inside. External insulation saves interior space, internal insulation preserves the industrial look.
• Use the air vents – you do not have to seal them; on the contrary, they can be integrated into the ventilation system.
• Consider installing glazed doors instead of the original ones – they let in daylight.
• You can equip the roof with greenery (green roof) or place solar panels on it.
• Furnish the interior in a minimalist style that emphasizes metal elements, or, conversely, create a cozy rural feel with wood and textiles.
• Do not forget about the foundations (e.g., concrete footings, gravel bedding) so that the container stands level and is protected from moisture from below.
