Second Hand 15ft Shipping Containers

< Back to Popular Containers


Containers Direct specialise in supplying 15ft used shipping containers for sale to bridge that gap between the 10ft container and the 20ft container. As these containers are cut down containers, they are no longer restricted by traditional ISO regulations, making them the ideal storage unit. Many of our customers find a 10ft container often gets crammed to the rafters over time, but are reluctant to buy a 20ft container as it takes up too much space. To meet the demand for a size in between, we keep a regular supply of second hand and refurbished 15 foot containers in stock, available at prices that reflect both quality and value, as well as new 15 ft containers. We deliver nationwide to give you the cheapest rates available. 15ft used shipping containers are fabricated in our in-house workshop. Using our years of knowledge and experience, we are able to produce a quality container that combines all the advantages and strength of a shipping container with the convenient features of a storage container, and offer these with a choice of 4 door types to suit the different needs of our customers.



Shipping containers are a preferred choice for storage units as they are designed to be strong, watertight, and with high weight tolerances and to keep the contents of the container dry and safe from break-ins. Made from high density Corten steel with anti-rusting qualities, using a shipping container for storage will guarantee you a quality product that will last many years. 15ft used shipping containers are popular to buy as an alternative to a traditional garden shed, as they offer better security and are small enough to be used in allotments, back gardens and school playing fields. A number of simple, low cost procedures, such as side doors, wood cladding and a sloping roof, can convert your metal box into an attractive unit that disguises the fact it's a shipping container! These features can also help with planning permission regulations.

The Build Process

Containers Direct build the 15 foot container in their in-house fabrication depot and deliver on weekly runs across the UK. This process of fabrication involves taking 40ft used shipping containers and cutting them down to make 15ft containers. New doors and walls are manufactured, using high gauge steel and matching corrugated metal panels. All parts are then fully seam welded to create our new 15fts. Our emphasis on quality production makes these the UK's best-selling 15 ft second hand container. Learn more about how cut down containers are made.
