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".

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!

order - a Used 10ft Container

"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
