Need a container for export?

If you require a container for shipping, Containers Direct can assist you in navigating the often confusing difference between containers for shipping and containers for storage. Most storage containers for sale at Containers Direct are shipping containers, as we believe they are unrivalled in strength and quality and therefore make the most durable storage containers you can buy. But if you are looking to use a shipping container for its original purpose of shipping, it essential you choose one that still conforms to ISO regulations for seaworthiness. Check the container holds a valid CSC plate which confirms this and allows it on board as container cargo.

Nearly new or quality used

We hold a plentiful supply of these 20ft nearly new containers, ideal for shipping, at all our suppliers depots across the UK, including Portsmouth. Nearly new containers have only made one trip to transport to UK ports, sometimes known as "one-trip containers".

Need a container for storage?

If you are looking at shipping containers in Portsmouth for storage only, the choice is wide. Unmodified 20ft and 40ft shipping containers (certified or uncertified) are the cheapest product relative to size to buy, but modified/cut down containers give you a wide choice of sizes and a number of added features to enhance the container, from door types to insulation. As an example, have a look at this modified 10ft container with our unique style of doors designed specially for storage containers.

Case Study of the Month

March 2025

CS54207 - 20ft cladded garden room

It's hard to believe this building started out as a used 20ft shipping container! With a smart set of patio style doors, lined with wood on the inside and clad on the outside, it's not only a handsome devil but cosy to hang out in. The trend of having a back garden "hang out" is increasingly popular and can be used for anything you like, including leisure and work space, a gym, yoga studio or social space - add a bar and you will never be more popular! This building is divided into two sections, a small area for outdoor storage and larger area for social and leisure activities.

Take a look at some of the most engaging work we have undertaken in recent years. With detailed pictures, a step by step guide and a deep insight to many projects, our case studies cover a range of applications.
