Storage Options – Shipping Containers

While our most common customers are businesses there are many great uses for a shipping container at home. Residential customers have the option to either purchase outright or hire a shipping container, and householders find many different ways to utilise the extra space they gain without the expensive and time consuming need to construct a new building or extension.

Reasons for having a Container At Home

  • Retiring
  • Moving
  • Renovating or building
  • Empty nesters
  • Downsizing or cleaning
  • Divorcing or property settlement
  • Storage

Considerations for a Shipping Container at Home

So you’ve decided you want a used shipping container at home, there are a number of things that you need to consider first when choosing your shipping container. What is your budget? Do you want buy or hire? Where do you want to locate it and how will you get it there?

Hiring or Purchasing Your Shipping Container at Home

If you are wanting complete flexibility then you should consider hiring your shipping container. Hiring your container costs anywhere from $20 a week and up, depending on the condition of the container, its configuration and the length of hire. This is the perfect solution if you only want your container for a short time.

If you want to hold onto your container for a long time then it might be more cost effective to purchase it outright. If you purchase your container from Gateway Container Sales & Hire you will have the opportunity to modify it any way that you like, move it to a new property and sell it when you no longer require it.

The choice is up to you, it just depends on your individual requirements, budget and timeframe.

Choosing the Perfect Location for your Shipping Container at Home

More than likely the location of your container at home depends on what you are using it for. If it is a granny flat, then near your home is preferable. If it is an office on a worksite, keeping it close to the action without damaging it is important.  Gateway Container Sales & Hire make it easy for you, we can arrange transport, delivery and installation of your shipping container, where you want it, when you want it. If you are hiring it we will arrange the removal and return transport at the end of your hire contract.

So, if you are looking at extending your house or adding a shed or granny flat, or just need some extra storage, consider a shipping container at home from Gateway Container Sales & Hire. We are a Queensland based shipping container supplier offering containers to buy or hire for a wide range of applications.
