Containers for Gardens

Secure Storage for your Garden

Anyone with a garden will know how much space is needed to store away safely all those garden essentials and importantly, keep them stored with the highest levels of security possible.

For example lawnmowers, tools, and outdoor furniture during the winter months. And to add to the list for anyone without garage space - bicycles. Garden owners are increasingly turning to heavy duty metal containers as an alternative to the traditional garden shed, as metal garden sheds offer unbeatable levels of security and a long lasting solution to garden storage.
Designed to industrial strength and standards these garden stores will still be standing long after a timber shed has rotted away. A traditional timber shed can be cheaper but has a much shorter lifespan and doesn't offer much in the way of security. We offer shipping containers, in all sizes, including 20ft containers, to fit the space you have available, and also flat pack container options. Choose from either small shipping containers, including SlimLine® containers with narrow widths, flat pack containers, or purpose built prefab metal sheds.


Not in my back yard? Well yes, you can with one of these!

Larger Flat Pack Steel Sheds

We offer a range of flat pack containers for gardens. These are also suitable for allotments. If you have more space, we offer a traditional flat pack store in three sizes, which are very quick and easy to assemble, making repositioning at anytime a viable option. Flat pack stores designed for bike storage are also an option for your garden. To give you some idea of how quick and easy it is to put together one of these containers, see our guide to self assembly of flat pack containers, although a comprehensive set of full instruction and fittings is provided with every purchase. Our containers for gardens start at 2m x 2.1m, so even the smallest of gardens can accommodate one! Our medium container is 3m x 2.1m, and our largest for bigger gardens or larger storage loads is 4m x 2.1m. Because our garden stores are made from galvanised steel, they give high levels of protection against theft that other garden stores cannot compete with. A range of steel, snap in shelving is available as an optional extra for easier access to smaller storage items. Other extras include a linking kit, so you can join units together for larger areas of storage space, the option to have the doors located in the side, and double doors.

Flat Pack Container Dimensions

Whilst we only supply three sizes for our flat pack stores, all the units are completely modular, so additional units can be joined together at any stage by linking them either side by side or end to end with a simple linking kit. Please see the dimensions table for full details of the regular sizes we can offer.

Insulated flat pack containers

Insulated containers are recommended for the storage of items susceptible to damage from cold and condensation. With all the features of our standard flat pack stores they also have in-built insulation, which includes an inner and outer skin with 40mm Polyurethane insulation in between and glass wool inside the door panel. This keeps your store condensation free.
