Containers for Gardens
Anyone with a garden will know how much space is needed to store away safely all those garden essentials and importantly, keep them stored with the highest levels of security possible.. For example lawnmowers, tools, and outdoor furniture during the winter months. And to add to the list for anyone without garage space - bicycles. Garden owners are increasingly turning to heavy duty metal containers as an alternative to the traditional garden shed, as metal garden sheds offer unbeatable levels of security and a long lasting solution to garden storage. Designed to industrial strength and standards these garden stores will still be standing long after a timber shed has rotted away. A traditional timber shed can be cheaper but has a much shorter lifespan and doesn't offer much in the way of security. We offer shipping containers, in all sizes, including 20ft containers, to fit the space you have available, and also flat pack container options. Choose from either small shipping containers, including SlimLine® containers with narrow widths, flat pack containers, or purpose built prefab metal sheds.
