Containers as Animal Shelters

Containers Direct can cut down to any size from a standard 40ft container. Whether you need a large stable or small container as an animal shelter, we can fit the bill. Another option if you have the space for a large unit but need multiple rooms, is to add an internal partition inside your container shelter which you can use for storage, additional rooms for multiple animals or even as a small office or vet clinic. For more width than the standard 8ft wide shipping container, see our extra wide new build containers which can go up to 12ft wide.

Shipping containers have a set of 8ft doors in the end as standard, however sometimes this leaves little room for large animals to turn around. Containers Direct are able to manufacture doors in the side to a variety of widths if required, even up to the full side access. We can also add another set of doors in the opposite end, to be used as an exit for the animals to walk straight through. If you're thinking of using this as part office or store, or if there are going to be people regularly using the container, why not add a personnel door, or even a set of patio doors or bifolding doors? Both options provide easy entry to your animal shelter, with the second two also doubling up as windows.

If you require windows for ventilation or to let in some natural light, we offer either standard windows with anti-vandal shutters, or high level windows which can be opened and closed to let air and light in.
