New Build Containers

Wider, taller, narrower! We build from scratch; we have you covered!

We are one of the few UK's top manufacturers of new build containers, which are constructed to high standards, offering strength, security and excellent quality.

Containers Direct specialise in building brand new containers. New shipping containers are made to conform to standard sizes, meaning they are exclusively 8ft wide with a maximum height of 9ft 6in. So if you are looking for a container which falls outside of these parameters, perhaps 10ft wide or 5ft wide, then building from scratch is the best solution. Typically our new build containers can be manufactured to any width between 5ft and 12ft. For wider spaces we can provide joined up containers cleverly designed to easily link together to create larger spaces.

When space is tight, we have the widest range of new build flat pack containers available, offering anything from straightforward secure storage to commercial offices and garden containers. As well as manufacturing bespoke containers for a wide range of applications, from electrical sub stations to festival stages we offer our discounted standard WideLine® and SlimLine® ranges when wider or narrower spaces are needed. In 2018 we launched the CarTainer® range which is now the UK's best selling portable container garage.

"My experience was flawless, from the moment I made my first enquiry up to the moment the container was delivered, communication was excellent. Customer service is second to none.
