SHIPPING CONTAINERS
![](/smsimg/p-banners/cd-about-us-banner-shallow.jpg)
Shipping containers developed as a method of moving and exporting cargo. However it is their role as secure and affordable storage units that led to shipping containers becoming the familiar objects we see from school playgrounds to industrial estates, and from building sites to back gardens. Given their versatility, there is now an ever growing trend to convert shipping containers into a wide range of practical and creative constructions, such as offices, pop up shops, bars and catering units and even homes!
Standard Shipping Containers
All shipping containers are 8ft wide with standard lengths of 20ft or 40ft. We offer two main "grades" of shipping containers to choose from:![](/smsimg/uploads/once-used/20ft-ral6007-2.jpg)

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"
