Shipping Container Garage

Why choose a shipping container garage?

The appeal comes down to practicality. A container garage can be delivered and installed in a fraction of the time a masonry build takes, and in most cases falls within Permitted Development rights, meaning no planning permission is required. 

If you have the space on your property, you can have a secure, weatherproof structure in place without the lead times or costs associated with a traditional build.

For those who want more than vehicle storage, a container garage works well alongside a shipping container workshop, giving you dedicated space for your car with a separate area for tools and project work.

The benefits of a shipping container garage

Choosing a container garage over a traditional build comes with some clear advantages:

• Security - Our converted containers use heavy-duty corten steel throughout, making them significantly more resistant to forced entry than a timber or thin-gauge metal structure. The doors lock securely, giving you genuine peace of mind whether you are storing a vehicle, tools, or equipment.

• Weatherproof year-round - With the right insulation specification, condensation is managed effectively so the interior stays dry in all conditions. Corten steel is built to handle the harshest environments, which makes a domestic driveway relatively straightforward by comparison.

• Cost-effective - A container garage typically comes in well below the equivalent cost of a new-build masonry garage, without compromising on space or structural integrity. You get a permanent, durable structure without the expense of a traditional build.

• Quality you can rely on - Because fabrication is completed in-house at our facility, we maintain direct control over every stage of the build, from the floor plate through to the finish.
  
  
  

Door options for your container garage

The door specification is one of the most important decisions when fitting out a container garage. We install roller shutter doors, sectional overhead doors, and bi-fold options depending on your access requirements and the space available. 

Our team will advise on the most practical choice based on your vehicle dimensions and site layout.

Container garage size options 

A standard 20ft container offers a footprint of approximately 20 x 8 feet, which suits a single vehicle with room for additional storage alongside it. For two cars, or where you want to combine vehicle storage with workshop space, a 40ft container is the more practical choice. We also work to bespoke dimensions where standard sizes do not fit the available ground. Learn more about our container size options.

All of our container garage conversions are completed by our own in-house fabrication team.
