Community playground cafe and bike hire store shipping container conversion in Bristol - CS104153

Case study of the month

November 2025

CS104153 - Community playground cafe and bike hire store - 2 x 20ft

The Vench, a much-loved adventure playground and community centre in Lockleaze, Bristol operates as part of the Groundwork South project. Groundwork "takes practical action to create a fair and green future in which people, places, and nature thrive." So we were excited to be chosen to provide two upcycled containers to their Bristol location. We converted one to use for their bike hire scheme and another as a pop-up cafe in the playground. They were pushed together side by side to resemble one large building but on the inside they are very different!

Our Case Studies

Cut down containers for a more choice

For a wider choice of sizes of storage containers in Southampton we have a selection of cut down containers. These are made from standard 20ft and 40ft shipping containers and modified to produce conveniently sized storage containers with additional features to improve the use of the container as a storage unit. For instance, our supply of 10ft containers in Southampton are particularly popular with schools and clubs, and have been made more user friendly with the addition of light weight easy to operate doors. Shipping container doors are notorious for being heavy, which is fine for an overseas journey, but for frequent access to the container these doors can be a little off putting! See our S1 10ft storage container for a great example from our range of cut down storage containers located in Southampton.

Optional extras

All our shipping container are offered with a choice of upgrades to help you get the best from your container. One of our padlocks can give your container top levels of security, ply lining will eliminate condensation, while wood cladding will give an attractive finish and can work around potential planning permission requirements. For shipping containers used as a conversion projects we can make multiple adaptations from our list of optional extras. For instance office containers require windows, a personnel door and ply lining. Find out more about the different types of shipping container conversions we offer.

"The product (flat pack container 4m) is excellent. I already have one that I bought 18 months ago which has been secure and kept everything stored in great condition. I needed another storage container so came straight back to you. The lead time was even quicker than the previous time which was great. The delivery was slightly tricky but the driver (Steve) was cheerful and helpful and managed the job safely , even in the pouring rain at the time. Overall, great product and delivery and very satisfied." Michael Spencer
