Containers for Farms
Shipping containers are fast becoming a common sight on farmland, as they provide an inexpensive and instant way to store essential supplies and equipment, from animal feed, fertilizers and pesticides to machinery. Some of our containers for farms have recently been purchased for use as workshops and even animal shelters. These can be converted to provide essential features such as windows and insulation. Many of our containers for farms are guaranteed wind and waterproof, rodent proof, and are extremely durable, therefore suited to both temporary and long term installation. One of the advantages they have over traditionally built outbuildings is they can relocated relatively easily, which allows you adapt their use according to the seasons and secondly offer more flexibility in terms of planning permission.
Containers Direct have a wide range of budget standard 20ft shipping containers and 40ft shipping containers, complete with rubber seals which are ideal for rodent resistant storage of animal feed and other agricultural supplies. We can also provide complaint container chemical stores. Many farmers also supplement their income with public facilities, such as farm shops, campsites, and the trending glamping pods. Shipping containers can be converted to provide these spaces, in a low cost and quick manner.
Branching out - converted and purpose built shipping containers for visitors
The modern way to farm can include opening up your land to visitors, for instance an on-site farm shop, tea shop, or camping facilities. If you are allowing people to stay on your land to generate extra income you will want to invest in an office, toilet and shower facilities, and for more upmarket camping, popularly known a glamping, some attractive and comfortable glamping pods. Containers Direct can provide these, by either converting existing shipping containers with a wide range of improvements and features, or by building them from scratch. Features can include:

Flat pack containers for farms are a great choice for the ultimate in freedom of movement from a store. These can be put up and down again in less than an hour, anywhere on your land, and no specialist lifting apparatus is required to move them. They are compact enough to store away neatly during idle times, and are also fully man portable, meaning they can be sited where space is at a premium and access is tricky. They are fully modular, so you can join them up to create larger areas of storage space as and when needed. See below for our range of flat pack storage container sizes and prices.
