Why Buying a Storage Container is a Smart Investment
Whether you’re a business owner, site manager or homeowner, buying a storage container offers a long-term solution to your space and security needs. At Jennings Containers, we specialise in providing robust, weather-resistant containers designed to suit a range of uses, from construction sites and workshops to domestic projects and office conversions.
Buying a storage container means you get the benefit of ownership – no ongoing hire fees, and the freedom to customise and use the unit however you wish.
Key Considerations When Buying a Storage Container
Determine Your Storage Requirements
Before buying a storage container, think about what you need to store. Will it be large machinery, building materials, documents, or household items? Your intended use will influence the size and specification of the container you choose.
Jennings Containers offers a range of sizes, including:
- 10ft and 20ft containers for everyday secure storage
- 40ft containers for storing bulky or high-volume items
- High cube units for added vertical space
New or Used? What to Know Before Buying a Storage Container
When buying a storage container, you can choose between new (often termed “one-trip”) and used (typically 8–12 years old). Each option has its pros and cons:
- New containers offer a pristine appearance and longer lifespan
- Used containers are cost-effective and still structurally sound
All Jennings containers – whether new or used – are checked for structural integrity, weatherproofing, and floor condition before sale.
Consider Modifications When Buying a Storage Container
One of the key advantages of buying a storage container is the ability to modify it for your needs. At Jennings Containers, we offer customisation options to enhance functionality and convenience, including:
- Internal racking and shelving
- Moisture control poles
- Lighting installations
- Side access doors or windows for offices
Discuss your requirements with our team to ensure the container is ready to use from day one.
