SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Shipping containers developed as a method of moving and exporting cargo and have a fascinating history. However it is their role as secure and cheap storage units that led shipping containers to become familiar objects seen everywhere from school playgrounds to industrial estates, and from building sites to back gardens. There is now an ever growing trend to convert shipping containers into a wide range of practical and creative constructions, such as homes, offices, pop up shops, bars and even swimming pools!Choose from standard........

We have three "grades" of containers to choose from:
- Once used - these are considered "new" in shipping container terms, as they are manufactured abroad (usually China) and imported with cargo, to save on costs
- Used furniture grade (FG) - in good condition, watertight, but with some cosmetic wear and tear
- Used storage grade (SG) - provides good value site storage for the building trade
.......or modified shipping containers

For more cut down container ideas, see example of our range of sizes:
10fts, 15fts, 25fts,30fts.

All our "once used" containers are suitable for shipping, as well as storage or as a basis for a conversion project. Take a look at an example of our once used 20ft and 40ft shipping containers for sale.
Testimonial
After taking delivery of a 20ft shipping container, repainted green and treated with grafotherm to prevent condensation, Mr McDonald had this to say
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank both you and your staff at 'Containers Direct' for the service I received from your company.
In the first instance, I found it simple and straightforward to arrange the delivery of a container to the shop in Southsea, Wrexham. The prices were clear and with no 'hidden extras' to surprise us after delivery.
The container arrived at the appointed time and your staff were extremely helpful and efficient. Even though the actual positioning of the container presented a few difficulties, your team were open to suggestions and utilised their obvious skill and experience to overcome the difficulties.
Many people are quick to complain about services they receive but I feel that your company really does deserve praise for the service you provide.
Thank you again"
Received from Mr Alan McDonald
