People choose self-storage containers in Houston, Texas all the time.

You take control of the situation entirely when you choose to purchase a shipping container from us here at Houston Ship Container.

You have to decide where you’re going to store the self-storage container in Houston. This could be in your backyard, driveway, or somewhere on the compound of your business.

All of what you have throughout your home or business can be moved into the container for purposes of storage. This can free up significant amounts of space. Your closets won’t have to be overflowing. You can have more room in your basement for the purposes of converting it into living space. And for your business, you can finally have more space for larger amounts of inventory.

Size matters. How much do you plan to store? There are 10 foot, 20 foot and 40 foot shipping container options. This can be comparable to a storage unit. Many people find that the 10 foot and 20 foot units are sufficiently sized for them. However, if you are a doom’s day "prepper" or you are storing furniture for several condos or have a significant amount of equipment that you are planning to store within the container, the 40 foot may be the best option for you.

It all depends on what you have now as well as what you plan on needing to store in the future. If you plan on adding to the amount within the container, you may want to go larger to begin with so you don’t have to turn around and buy a new container within the next year or two. However, if you don’t need a lot, you don’t need to have a big unit because it may never get full and therefore you are simply wasting a lot of space.

If you need to use your container as a maintenance building, or perhaps a feed and tack rooms, you know who to call (us!). So if you're in the market for a mini storage building or an portable emergency response center, give us a ring. Contact us for shipping containers in Houston, TX today.
