The Importance of Reliable Storage in Construction

In the world of construction, having dependable construction site storage is not just helpful—it is essential. Whether it is safeguarding expensive tools, securely storing building materials, or establishing on-site offices for site managers and supervisors, the right container can make a significant difference.

Well-organised construction site storage enhances operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and protects valuable assets from theft and weather damage.

Jennings Containers, based in Oxfordshire, is a leading supplier of robust, high-quality containers tailored for construction use. With a reputation built on reliability, flexibility, and expert customer service, they support construction professionals across the UK in keeping projects running safely and smoothly from start to finish.

Why Choose Jennings Containers for Construction Projects?

Extensive Range of Construction Site Storage

Jennings Containers provides a diverse selection of container types and sizes suitable for a wide range of construction site requirements. From compact units ideal for tight spaces to spacious high cube containers offering maximum volume, there is a fit-for-purpose solution for every site.

Available options include:

  • Standard Storage Containers: Perfect for securely storing tools, PPE, machinery, and building materials directly on-site.
  • Office Containers: 20ft units professionally converted into functional, insulated offices—ideal for administrative staff and project managers.
  • High Cube Containers: Offering an extra foot in height compared to standard containers, these units are perfect for storing bulky or tall equipment and can also be modified into welfare units or break rooms.

All Jennings containers are built from Corten steel—a material known for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. They feature essential extras such as sidewall ventilation to reduce condensation and optional CISA shutter padlocks for added site security.

Flexible Hire and Purchase Options

Understanding that construction timelines and budgets can vary greatly, Jennings Containers offers both short- and long-term hire options, alongside the ability to purchase containers outright. Our flexibility allows clients to choose the most cost-effective and convenient option for their project.

  • Short-Term Hire: Minimum rental terms of just four weeks make this ideal for temporary or mobile construction projects.
  • Long-Term Hire: A great option for extended projects or sites requiring multiple units, with regular maintenance included.
  • Purchase: For those with ongoing storage needs or who prefer long-term investment, buying a container outright may be the most economical choice.

The Jennings team works closely with clients to assess their site needs and budget constraints to ensure the right decision is made for maximum value and utility.

Nationwide Delivery and Expert Installation

Jennings Containers provides nationwide delivery, ensuring containers can be delivered to any construction site across the UK. Our network of experienced haulage partners uses HIAB crane-equipped lorries, allowing containers to be lifted and placed exactly where they are needed—even in tight or challenging locations.

Lead times are fast—often within 72 hours—meaning containers can be deployed quickly and with minimal disruption to your schedule. The result? One less thing for your project manager to worry about.

Enhancing Construction Sites with Jennings Containers

Secure On-Site Storage

Construction sites are inherently vulnerable to theft, damage, and disruption from the elements. Our construction site storage is designed to withstand these risks, providing secure, weatherproof storage options to protect tools, materials, and machinery.

Key features include:

  • Reinforced doors and anti-theft locks
  • Wind and watertight construction
  • Optional lockboxes and padlocks
  • Hardwood flooring for long-lasting durability

This kind of construction site storage significantly reduces the risk of loss or delay caused by missing or damaged equipment.

Functional On-Site Offices

Managing a construction project requires planning, meetings, and constant communication—all of which are best handled from a dedicated workspace. Jennings’ converted office containers offer just that. These insulated 20ft containers provide a secure, practical office environment right on-site, complete with lighting, electrics, and workspace fittings.

Having an office container onsite streamlines project management, keeps documentation secure, and provides a professional space to meet with clients or contractors.

Customisable Solutions for Unique Needs

No two construction projects are the same, and Jennings Containers understands that flexibility is key. 

Popular modifications include:

  • Internal racking and shelving for tools and stock organisation
  • Lighting and electrical fit outs for night work or office use
  • Moisture control poles to protect temperature- or humidity-sensitive materials
  • Personnel doors, windows, and partitioning for converted office or welfare spaces

By adapting containers in-house before delivery, Jennings ensures each unit arrives ready for immediate use—saving time on-site.

A Customer-Centric Approach

What truly sets Jennings Containers apart is our commitment to customer service. From the initial consultation through to delivery and aftercare, the team works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs and provide tailored solutions.

Whether you are an independent contractor or part of a large construction firm, you will receive:

  • Personalised recommendations based on your site layout and project goals
  • Transparent quotes with no hidden fees
  • Timely updates and support from a knowledgeable team
  • Long-term relationships built on trust and reliability

It is this hands-on approach that makes Jennings a go-to provider for construction site storage throughout the UK.
