Popular Storage Container Uses
Shipping containers are a common sight at ports and on cargo ships, but their usefulness extends far beyond transporting goods. These sturdy, standardized units come in various sizes, with 20-foot containers being especially popular for their versatility and affordability.
Here are just a few of the many ways 20-foot shipping containers are used:
Storage
One of the most common uses for a shipping container is storage. They're weather-resistant, secure, and easy to access, making them ideal for both short-term and long-term storage needs. From household items to tools and construction equipment, a container provides a reliable, on-site solution.
Housing
Shipping containers are increasingly being repurposed into homes, offices, studios, and more. They're an affordable and sustainable building option that can be modified to suit a variety of layouts and comfort levels — whether it's for remote work, guest suites, or compact living. Please note we do not work with customizers or provide containers for housing purposes.
Retail Spaces
Containers can be transformed into compact retail units, pop-up shops, or food service spaces. Their mobility and small footprint make them a flexible option for small businesses, market vendors, and seasonal operations across Canada.
Emergency Shelters
In the wake of natural disasters, shipping containers have been used to provide quick, durable shelter. Their ability to be rapidly deployed and withstand tough conditions makes them a valuable resource for emergency response situations.
Grow Rooms
With proper insulation and climate control, containers can be turned into year-round grow rooms or aquaculture facilities. They offer a secure and efficient environment for farming in urban or remote locations.
As you can see, the uses for 20-foot shipping containers are incredibly diverse. Their durability, affordability, and adaptability make them a smart solution for a wide range of applications — and their popularity continues to grow across Canada.
Available Container Sizes
Storage containers come in three standard lengths, with 20-foot and 40-foot options being the most common. 10-foot containers are available but are less common and often less cost-effective on a per-square-foot basis, especially once delivery costs are included.
