Even a used container that may not seem as reliable or long lasting as a new container can still be durable to last and weather resistant if in Cargo Worthy condition. Once you paint a used container it can not only enhance the aesthetics, but also helps prolong rusting and protect against weather conditions such as wind and rain. A white container can help to reflect heat in the summer to help keep your container a bit cooler.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Create portable office containers using 20’ or 40’ containers. Or create your own garage using one or two 40’ HC shipping containers for double the width!
