Shipping containers are sturdy structures yet provide a high level of flexibility in terms of applications. They find uses in homes, offices, pools, pop-up shops, and in many other non-conventional forms in both residential and commercial settings. A garden shed is one such way to benefit from the unique design and structural integrity of garden sheds.

At Land Containers, we would like to shed light on the different reasons why containers make excellent garden sheds.

i. Customization

Rooms made out of shipping containers can be fully customized to the available space in your garden. You can easily add doors, windows, electricity, and HVAC to your garden shed, creating a comfortable indoor environment. 

You can fully customize the shed to your unique needs. The shed can be designed to be used for storage with shelving and ramps or it can have customized interior and exterior to be used as a place for relaxation and entertainment. 

ii. Safe & Secure

Containers provide a safe and secure haven in a garden. This means you can create a safe and cozy setting in your garden, protected from the elements and wildlife.

• Containers are structurally integral and also provide protection against pests and critters
• Your container garden shed can also protect against human intrusion
• Containers are designed to be waterproof and can be used to store your tools and equipment, protecting them against leaks

Any intruder will have a tough time breaking through 14-gauge steel, even when they use power tools. They are sturdier and more durable than the standard garden shed. You can rely on your container shed to protect your valuables.

iii. More Durable

As mentioned above, container sheds provide greater durability than any wooden structures that can be bought or built to create your garden sheds. Such a garden shed is made up of 14-gauge steel that can last for many years without even regular maintenance. With proper maintenance, you can add many decades to your garden shed’s lifespan.

It is worth knowing that containers are designed to withstand the weight of other containers when stacked. They can last for decades without the risk of rotting like woodsheds or rusting like metal sheds.

iv. Cost-Effective

Used shipping containers are much more affordable than you may realize. When you compare the cost per square foot with that of self-built or prefabricated garden sheds, they make much more economical sense over the long term. Besides, their longevity further helps in lowering the cost of ownership.

There are many more benefits of using containers for creating garden sheds. 

• Your container-based garden shed can be portable. You can move it around without worrying about structural damage.
• When you choose used containers, you are making an environment-friendly decision. Investing in a used container extends its use and lifespan and prevents it from being scrapped.

Thus, there are many benefits of using containers for creating a garden shed. For more information on the subject, feel free to get in touch with the specialists at Land Containers. You can send us a message using this Online Form and we will get back to you at the earliest.
