<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-397" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/storage-container3-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/storage-container3-300x189.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/storage-container3.jpg 449w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Steel shipping containers are a cost-effective option if you are looking to put up a portable and strong storage building on your property.</strong> It is cheap to transport them from one place to another and you can stack them to save on space. However, as much as conex containers are a godsend to anyone looking to have some extra space, they can be a bit hard to locate and move. Location tends to be the deciding factor. If by any chance you reside next to a port then you may be able to locate quite a few suppliers, but if this is not the case, you may have to get the container trucked in.</p>
<p><strong>If you are working with a budget,</strong> you want to avoid containers with any extra modifications or features. This is because they will cost you more and there is a possibility you will have to change their layout to suit your requirements anyway, so just start with the basics.</p>
<h3>Shop Around.</h3>
<p><strong>The best thing you can do for yourself is to shop around and keep your options open</strong>. You may find a place with fantastic prices right off the bat, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look a little bit more, you never know what else you could find.</p>
<p><strong>It goes without saying that used storage containers will help you save more money compared to buying a new shipping container.</strong> Check around local warehouses and you might find that they have these used conex containers. Here, you can easily negotiate the prices down to a figure that fits your budget accordingly. However, be wary and make sure you fully inspect any container you look at.</p>
<h3>Stay Informed, Haggle.</h3>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-755" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg 199w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-768x1156.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-399x600.jpg 399w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" />You should always negotiate the price of your container with all sellers you interact with.</strong> This is very important because there is a pile-up of containers in the US and in other countries because of the significant trade deficit with these other countries. This means that the seller probably needs to clear the space so naturally, they are motivated to sell their shipping containers and make deals for the sale of multiple units. If you play your cards right you can also get free delivery for your conex container.</p>
<p><strong>Never ever buy a container (or anything for that matter) without being able to see it first.</strong> It’s important that you make sure it has no big rust holes, the door locks work perfectly, the doors themselves open smoothly, it doesn’t have any big dents or leaks. Don’t feel bad for checking behind any sellers, even if it’s unintentional they can miss things too and it’s your responsibility to know what you’re buying.</p>

<p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-835 alignright" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/forklift-stacking-cargo-containers-300x199.jpg" alt="storage containers being stacked up in the port" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/forklift-stacking-cargo-containers-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/forklift-stacking-cargo-containers-768x510.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/forklift-stacking-cargo-containers.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Shipping containers are very useful and you can use them for a multitude of things,</strong> especially more so with popular upcoming trends such as shipping container bars, shopping outlets, and container homes. Though most people only use shipping containers for storage of things like household goods or furniture, there are many more broad uses for it.</p>
<h2>Transportation</h2>

The good thing about these Conex containers is that one you buy one, you can keep any items you want to transport and ship or move them anywhere you want. They were literally made for transporting goods, so safety and security are not at all a concern when it comes to shipping containers.</p>
<h2>Durability</h2>
<p><strong>Regardless of the brutality of the weather conditions or any damage caused by outside damage to your shipping container,</strong> there is a high chance that it will stay intact and stay strong. Your conex container can last you for even 20 years as long as you take care of it and maintain it regularly. You will not have to worry anytime there are harsh weather conditions in your area because <a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/">shipping containers in Charlotte</a> will hold up no question. With durability comes ability to withstand pretty much all types of weather. From snow to heavy rain, nothing should permeate your container.</p>
<h2>Security</h2>

Conex containers are extremely secure in comparison to trailers and wood buildings. The doors of shipping containers are usually equipped with heavy-duty rubber gaskets and steel locking arms meaning they are sealed off from the elements and any intruders or rodents. Most legitimate manufacturers of storage containers install the same locking mechanisms in their units but you can add customized modifications to these locks to give you peace of mind.</p>
<h2>Storage</h2>
<p><strong>This is an obvious advantage of using shipping containers, especially when you consider that they come in sizes as long as 40′.</strong> You can keep plenty of items in these storage containers for as long as you want. They are also good for storing away business documents for some time or off-season products for your store, landscaping items, or furniture. Fortunately, these Conex containers come in all kinds of sizes and you can choose the right a container with the size that fits your specific needs.</p>
<h2>Ability to Customize</h2>
<p><strong>Another advantage of buying a shipping container is that you can convert it into something else like a bar, an office, or even a home.</strong> With a container conversion, you can have a bespoke storage container for your specific needs. Even something like mobile construction offices, a 10′ container would be a great medium to make one of those.</p>

<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-707" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-custom-containers-300x169.jpg" alt="All States Containers custom containers" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-custom-containers-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-custom-containers.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Shipping containers come in many various sizes and are generally rectangular in shape.</strong> These containers make it easy for several people to start small scale business without having to drop a lot of money just to rent a shop. There are several businesses which can be do business in shipping containers in 2019, and among them are some of the following:</p>
<p><strong>Coffee Shop</strong>: With several business opportunity arising from coffee such as roasting, serving drinks etc., the coffee and tea industry is an ideal starting place for any entrepreneur. Shipping containers are very useful for housing coffee shops because of their easy customization as well as speed to market. Most important, the shipping containers can be moved easily, meaning you can introduce yourself to new markets and cultivate a wide array of customers far easier than from a brick and mortar store.8</p>
<p><strong>Specialty Retail</strong>: For those that do not know what this entails, it is a kind of shop which focuses mainly on a very specific product category. The employees are knowledgeable, passionate, and focused on providing a more personalized and in-depth experience when compared to larger stores. Occasionally, these shops will be standing free but they usually appear as part of a larger shopping centre as a booth, kiosk or pop-up. With a container store, you can move closer to where your target audience may be!</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-693" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-containers-300x225.jpg" alt="All States Containers shipping containers" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-containers-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-containers.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Mobile Bar</strong>: If you have been to big events such as festivals, concerts, carnivals, parades etc., you’ll likely find one thing common to all of them; a bar. These temporary structures are fantastic for these events that only last a few days, it can all be packed up and moved where you need it! What’s great about these containers is even though they are portable, they’ve super heavy duty and give you a great little safe place to work out of. Shipping containers provide the simple structure that bars need to service various events.</p>
<p><strong>Quick Service Restaurants</strong>: Each and every week a restaurant isn’t open, a gross loss of 2% is incurred. Shipping containers allow you to open your new business within a short duration rather than spending months to erect a typical brick and mortar structure. If planned appropriately and built with consideration for safety and codes, everything from a line service QSR to a full-service kitchen can fit in perfectly into a shipping container.</p>
<p><strong>Convenience Store</strong>: Convenience stores are there to provide ease and accessibility. The introduction of shipping containers has also added a new line of benefit to these quick-stop-shops. They have light weight, are movable, and can be used to meet the need of customers wherever they may be.</p>
<p><strong>Pop-Up Shop</strong>: Making a pop-up shop stand out may be challenging. In most cases, we come across the old aesthetic, accompanied by the same decrepit tent. However, shipping containers give a nice new appearance off and can be customized. The pop-up game will completely change with the use of mobile container shops.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile Showroom</strong>: There are some major changes happening in the retail industry and one of them is the introduction of a ‘show room’ concept for brands which are no longer interested in maintaining large inventory. Rather, brands are developing an interactive, concept stores which allow customers to handle popular merchandise. The use of shipping containers makes the mobile showroom business easy while minimizing the running cost.</p>

<p><strong>When purchasing a shipping container in Charlotte NC,</strong> you need to know where you’re planning to keep it so you’re ready for delivery before it gets there.</p>
<p><strong>Planning this out is actually extremely important,</strong> depending on where you place it, can greatly effect the effective life span of your container. And I think we all want our shipping containers to last us as long as they possibly can!</p>
<h3>How Strong Are They?<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-755" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg 199w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-768x1156.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-399x600.jpg 399w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></h3>
<p><strong>Shipping containers have all been designed to withstand the weight of 8 fully loaded containers on top of them.</strong> Each of these containers can weigh up to 30.5 tons in gross weight and this equates to 244 tons weighing on the bottom container. A load of this weight will be supported by the four corner posts of the container. The top and bottom of the said corner posts are known as the corner castings. The shipping container should sit on these bottom castings. If the ground is not completely flat, you can keep the container level by using four separate plinths such as wooden blocks, bricks, or concrete blocks. However, there will be more effective when placed on two concrete or wooden railway sleepers placed on each end transversally. After going for shipping containers for sale in Charlotte NC, you have the options of:</p>
<p><strong>– Placing the shipping container on asphalt directly but with 2×10 wooden planks placed on the corners of the shipping container to prevent it from sinking into the asphalt when temperatures are very high. This will also allow for better cooling of the container.</strong></p>
<p><strong>– Putting the shipping container on top of a bed of crushed stone</strong></p>
<p><strong>– Placing the shipping container on top of 6×6 timbers</strong></p>
<h3>So, What Do I Put It On?</h3>
<p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-754 alignleft" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-768x510.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-800x531.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />You should make sure the surface on which you will place your shipping container is firm, smooth, and fairly level.</strong> If you are getting an off-road delivery of your shipping container, you are better off discussing the road condition with the involved parties in advance. When keeping in mind the resting location for your shipping container, concrete, earth, grass, and gravel are all acceptable. Shipping containers for sale in Charlotte NC are self-supporting at the corners. If the site has a soft and unstable surface, it is advisable that you get each corner casting supported with a bed of gravel, asphalt, railroad ties, or a concrete footing to help in distributing the weight evenly. This is crucial as it allows the doors of the shipping containers to operate smoothly. Making sure the container is level helps in keeping the shipping container ends in a square configuration. This helps in making sure the doors are easy to open and it also ensures tightness of the door seals to the frame thus keeping water from entering the container. The floor of the shipping container is typically made of thick laminated plywood and keeping your shipping container off the ground generates an air flow beneath the container. This helps to make sure the container is dry and prevent the formation of rust on the steel understructure. It is also advisable to keep your shipping container out of wet dirt and mud to help them last longer.</p>
<p><strong>If you follow these steps and are careful in all aspects of caring for your shipping container,</strong> it should last you for a very long time to come! If you have any questions or want to get a container for yourself, go ahead and contact us now!</p>

<p><strong>There has been a sudden rise in the demand and usage of shipping containers</strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-761" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-with-stacks-of-shipping-containers-in-background_SKe9kXAEi-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-with-stacks-of-shipping-containers-in-background_SKe9kXAEi-199x300.jpg 199w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-with-stacks-of-shipping-containers-in-background_SKe9kXAEi-768x1156.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-with-stacks-of-shipping-containers-in-background_SKe9kXAEi-399x600.jpg 399w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /> in the past few years because they are not only used for cargo operations but also have a variety of other great possible applications. You can store just about everything that comes to mind for as long as you want thanks to the sheer amount ofcargo carrying capacity these 10’, 20’, and 40’ containers offer. If you’ve ever stepped foot inside one you understand just how big they really are. They also come in handy when you want to relocate, when you want to create additional space around your property or when you want to store valuable items safely in one place. SO many uses!!</p>
<p>Storage containers also evoke a sense of security, especially those manufactured by legitimate steel container companies because they come readily installed with some of the most secure locking mechanisms to ensure thesafety of the cargo within. The most commonly used storage containers are madefrom steel, aluminum, fiber-reinforced polymer or a combination of all. They also come with heavy doors and have grooved walls on the top and bottom and are soldered to the rails and end frames. Good luck getting into a shipping container that you aren’t meant to be in, it’ll never work.</p>
<p><strong>Shipping Containers, They’re Pretty Great.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What this should be communicating to you is that storage containers are extremely durable.</strong> They are built to withstand brutal weather, external physical damage and to top it all off; they can serve you for at least 20 years with minimal maintenance required, which makes for the most cost-effective storage option. Having said that,there are measures that you can take when you want to store perishable items, depending on what you want to stow away, you can either opt for a storage container that has steel or wooden floors.</p>
<p><strong>Customize Your Container!</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-698 alignright" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers-300x196.jpg" alt="All States Containers storage containers" width="300" height="196" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers-300x196.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><strong><a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/">Storage container</a> modifications are huge right now, they are even being used to construct homes.</strong> Therefore, ventilation is one of the most important features you want to add because some containers are airtight and vents can help lower temperatures as well as mitigate any musty smells or dampness that could get inside. Depending on where you are this can be extremely important!</p>
<p>Storage containers don’t come with lighting or electricity, andit’s very easy to install electrical outlets powered by a generator or plugged directly into your electrical grid to make it easy to put lights inside. You can further make your container energy efficient by using a solar container lighting that can run for about 28 hours.It’s also important to have climate control measures in place when you need to store perishable items because while non-perishable can withstand some temperature fluctuations, perishables not so much.</p>
<p><strong>Storage Containers are Worth It.</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-713 alignleft" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container-300x201.jpg" alt="All States Containers shipping container" width="300" height="201" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><strong>A climate-controlled storage container will not only eliminate the temperature fluxes,</strong> butit will also extend the lifespan of your stored items dramatically. The key is to ensure that your container is inaccessible to any insects or rodents and to check all items, which includes clothing, furniture, books, etc.for moisture, mold, dampness, and insects before storage. It also helps to use new cardboard boxes or airtight plastic bins before storage because used boxes are prone to wear and tear and plastic bags may also contain moisture, bugs, andmold that can damage your things or cause items to rot. Roaches don’t like many things more than old cardboard!</p>

<p><img class="alignleft wp-image-477 size-medium" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/conex-containers-24453-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/conex-containers-24453-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/conex-containers-24453-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/conex-containers-24453-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/conex-containers-24453.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p><strong>There is a big debate on which the better option is for your backyard storage, between sheds and shipping containers.</strong> A storage shed will provide you with a lot of storage space for plants, tools or other things you cannot fit or look bad in your garage. Backyard storage sheds have been made using wood for a long time, but in recent years, manufacturers have been using vinyl as an alternative. An exciting new trend in backyard storage involves taking a used storage container<strong> </strong>and repurposing it into a storage shed. However, do the benefits of used storage containers Raleigh outweigh those of a plain storage shed for your backyard?</p>
<p>Storage containers are used for long-term transportation and storage of cargo and as such they are an excellent means of keeping your things safe regardless of weather conditions. Storage sheds are equally as beneficial as you can make it yourself or have professional make it for you. You can also customize them to fit the available space as well as your requirements not to mention, you can build them in such a way that they match your space.</p>
<p>Storage containers are usually tested by the forces of nature including <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-713" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container-300x201.jpg" alt="All States Containers shipping container" width="300" height="201" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/All-States-Containers-shipping-container.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />constant humidity, wind, winter snowfall, and rains. Water damage has the most damaging effect on any storage facility and since storage sheds are often made from absorptive materials such as wood, they can succumb to damage from the elements. Shipping containers will not suffer the same fate.</p>
<p>Storage containers are completely waterproof thus protecting your things from all the effects of moisture, fire, or wind. They are made from waterproof steel so anything kept inside will remain secure. Your only risk would be if you’ve developed rust but that would take a very long time and you should notice it before it can cause any damage. Storage sheds on the other hand can simply be broken through as their materials are generally not very hard to get through.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-698 alignleft" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers-300x196.jpg" alt="All States Containers storage containers" width="300" height="196" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers-300x196.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/AllStates-Containers-storage-containers.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />You can put together a storage shed yourself or have a professional do it for you but there is a risk of having structural errors if it is not put together properly. If this is the case, then your things will be at risk of damage in case the structure collapses. You will also have to pay excessive labor fees if you call in a professional to assemble it for you.</p>
<p>A storage container offers you a safe place to keep your things without needing to worry about cost of assembly or labor. The shipping container will be delivered to your property and it is instantly ready to use.</p>
<p>Storage containersare the safest option especially if you are storing valuable and expensive things. They are made of steel all through with either double or single doors so any thief would have a very difficult time trying to break in. shipping containers are devoid of any weak points from the hinges to the roof.</p>
<p>So, a storage shed may cost you a little less in the long run, but it’s more susceptible to the elements and can is quite a bit less secure than its metal counterpart.</p>

<p><strong>You would be hard pressed to NOT find a bunch of online platforms talking about storage containers,</strong> wanting them, all of the things you can do with them, and more. However, once these people get in their cars and actually go to search for containers, they’re not sure what they’re looking for! It’s a lot easier to think you understand something when talking and reading online, but it’s a different thing to be able to go somewhere and apply your knowledge. Storage containers differ according to their use. This article will help you understand what metal storage containers are made of, helping you select the best metal storage container for sale in Raleigh.</p>
<h2><strong>Factors to Consider When Choosing Steel Storage Containers</strong></h2>
<p><strong>The steel used to make the storage container is unique.</strong> It is referred to as COR-TEN or commonly refered to as “weathering steel”. They are very powerful and strong because they use a steel alloy that is made into a corrugated pattern. The corrugation itself physically makes it even stronger, allowing them to be stacked very high if need be; this is perfect for anyone who may need to stack them for storage or office needs. This strength also helps them remain intact during harsh weather conditions as they are exposed to elements that would cause damage and degredation to lesser metals and mediums.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Delivery logistics-</strong> You have to consider where the delivery truck will offload this storage container. You need to select a place that will allow the delivery truck to turn around once it offloads the container. It takes a large vehicle to transport such a big and heavy container, but it’s a lot easier than driving all the way out to a storage container every time you need to access YOUR things!</li>
<li><strong>Appearance-</strong> The storage doesn’t just need to be practical, if you’re going to have it outside your home or anywhere visible, you want it to look good too!. Thus, it should be designed and colored to meet your requirements. You could make its color contrast or blend in with the environment depending on the overall look you’re going for.</li>
<li><strong>The condition of the floor-</strong> As soon as you take delivery of your container, the first thing you need<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-762" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/graphicstock-map-global-logistics-partnership-connection-of-container-cargo-freight-ship-for-logistics-import-export-background_Hdmx37hPxig-300x200.jpg" alt="Global shipping containers " width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/graphicstock-map-global-logistics-partnership-connection-of-container-cargo-freight-ship-for-logistics-import-export-background_Hdmx37hPxig-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/graphicstock-map-global-logistics-partnership-connection-of-container-cargo-freight-ship-for-logistics-import-export-background_Hdmx37hPxig-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/graphicstock-map-global-logistics-partnership-connection-of-container-cargo-freight-ship-for-logistics-import-export-background_Hdmx37hPxig-800x533.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /> to check is its floor. Make sure that it’s in the best shape it can be, the last thing you want is a big rust hole to sit there and expand, leaving your goods open to the elements and animals! You also need to pay attention to the corners and the folds of the metal. These will be the first signs of an affected floor. If you notice any signs of rotting, make sure that you inform the container assemblers to fix it before you start using it. A container is a big investment, make sure you’re getting your money for it!</li>
<li><strong>The condition of the door-</strong> Make sure that you check the security and strength of the door. It should be able to lock securely with no give, but also swing open with ease. This will help you be sure of the security of the property that you will store inside the container. If you’re doors are unbalanced or just not perfect in any way, it makes them both easier for someone to get into and harder for you to easily access.</li>
<li><strong>The condition of the storage container exterior-</strong> Look out for any rust, holes, or significant dents. These are signs that the container is damaged and that it will not serve you as well.</li>
<li><strong>The volume or size-</strong> This is very important because you need to select your container based on your specific needs. If you need it as an office and file storage space then you might want to get a larger container to help you maneuver through as you work. If it is simply for storing some miscelanious things then you could be fine going for a smaller container.</li>
</ol>

Shipping containers can be used as garages for vehicles if your home doesn’t have one. Shipping containers in North Carolina can be used to store surplus office files or household items, as swimming pools, a mobile office space, low-cost housing, fire-training facilities, refrigeration unit, or even mititure mobile retail buildings! How you choose to use your storage container is completely up to you depending on your needs at the time.</p>
<h2><strong>Shipping Container Resale</strong></h2>
<p><strong>The market for selling storage containers has always been a strong one.</strong> Buying a storage container instead of leasing could lead to a lot of long-term savings. Storage containers are a good option for companies that are looking to move goods long distances. Storage containers in Charlotte are strong and sturdy purely by design. They’re built for inter-continental travel after all! Not to mention, they can handle almost any climate or weather condition you put them in. Right off of the shelf they have a 25-year hard life of transportation, leaving a lot of possibility for future re-sale and rental as it gets a little older!</p>
<p><strong>Investing in a shipping container can sound like an odd idea to anyone who hasn’t really <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-754" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-768x510.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/truck-stacking-containers_rtezI04j-800x531.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />heard of them being used in that capacity before.</strong> It is very profitable as a business. You can get shipping in Charlotte and lease them out to transport companies seeing as they are always looking for viable containers to use without having to buy their own. The transportation market has demonstrated resilience regardless of the recent global financial crisis. Storage containers in North Carolina always seem to be in demand and it doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon.</p>
<h2><strong>Shipping Container Farming</strong></h2>
<p><strong>You’ve probably never heard of it before, but mobile farming is starting to pick up all around the world.</strong> Land is becoming more and more sparse all over the world, bringing the garden TO the individual is a good way to handle that problem! It also allows more people access to fresh foods, which is very important! These containers can even be equipped with solar panels that allow it to remain functional in any location you move it! The storage containers can also be climate-controlled allowing duplication and management of every weather condition. The vertical farming rows in the storage containers will not be affected by harsh unforgiving weather conditions so they will give you plentiful harvests no matter the season. Sounds like a pretty good system!</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/uses/"><strong>Container Conversions</strong></a></h2>
<p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-755 alignleft" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-199x300.jpg 199w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-768x1156.jpg 768w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/port-worker-and-cargo-containers_BFQIUyRVj-399x600.jpg 399w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" />There are so many shipping containers that just sit, unused in ports and docks all over the world.</strong> That represents a huge investment of raw materials going unused over the decades. Sitting there rusting isn’t doing anyone any good! Another great alternative for shipping containers in Charlotte is converting them for other uses. Your storage container can be repurposed into a small business, or a studio office in your very own yard. The great thing about owning a shipping container is that you can move around with it and it can be anything you want it to be. It’s yours!</p>

<p>Shipping containers have become very popular since the 1950s due to their incredible durability. These <a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/">steel storage containers</a> have been developed from scratch to protect all kinds of goods from the rough conditions associated with long-distance transportation. However, they do eventually degrade as all other things do. All storage containers can last for a specific amount of time before they ‘re generally considered useless. The lifespan greatly depends on a variety of factors, the place you live can even influence the lifespan quite a bit.</p>
<p>If you are looking to buy a storage container in Charlotte for one specific, set use, you should take into consideration that a storage container is not a forever thing, it does have an impressively long life-span for what it is but will not last forever!</p>
<h2><strong>Average Lifetime </strong></h2>
<p>You first need to know how long you will be using your new or used storage container in Charlotte. ‘Used Once’ storage containers are a popular option as they have only been used once to ship products. This means they are much cheaper than newer containers and you will not end up with a storage container that has gone through years of hard service on the ocean. The consensus among various suppliers concerning how long storage containers will last is 25 years without any maintenance. This figure will vary based on the climate the shipping container is situated in but a minimum of 25 years is the average natural lifespan of a storage container.</p>
<p>Heavily used <a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/for-sale-buy/">containers for sale</a> in NC are usually around 10 years old when out of service so if you’ve recently bought one of them then you should get at least 15 years of use from the storage containers before needing to conduct any maintenance repairs on it. When you’re dealing with a used container, there are other factors to consider such as whether they have any rust or got any dents during the purchase.</p>
<p>Storage containers can have various lifespans just according to different people. Container leasing companies usually depreciate their containers over 10-12 years before taking them out of service. A storage container can still be useful for a private owner with simpler needs even if it has been deemed not seaworthy by shipping conglomerates. When it comes to these situations its more of a just go with that you need type of thing, if you just want to store some tools in it for instance, they can hold up a bit better than frunitute or clothing.</p>
<h2>Risk Factors and Avoidance</h2>
<p>A container’s lifespan can be greatly shortened by rust, which is worsened greatly by seawater and moisture. Wet climates and seawater can greatly influence how long your container lasts also.</p>
<p>You can greatly extend the lifespan of your storage container using simple, effective measures to <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-402" src="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/40-foot-storage-container-300x190.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" srcset="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/40-foot-storage-container-300x190.jpg 300w, https://www.allstatescontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/40-foot-storage-container.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />make it impervious to natural weather conditions. If you are buying a new or used storage container in Charlotte, ensure you inspect it properly before making any purchases or big decisions. Any dents in the outer shell or cracks in the paint coating can promote the onset of rust, thus significantly reducing the lifespan. That’s not to say that a small dent will cause your container to fall apart in a mere few years, but it’s not to be overlooked!</p>
<p>Minimizing exposure to moisture is the most effective way to extend the shipping container’s lifespan.</p>
<p>Using some form of external cladding for the storage containers can add decades to your shipping container’s lifespan. Termites and rot will not damage an effective cladding and it can stick around for more than 50 years. Another effective approach is to take restorative action as soon as you encounter any issues. Leaving the rust un-treated for any amount of time after you notice it is just asking for problems, you’ll save yourself tome and money in the long run if you just stay up on repairs when needed! Reducing internal condensation and storing your shipping container off of the ground will also reduce moisture contact. You can reduce internal condensation by choosing what you store in the container wisely. If the things inside it are sensitive enough to require it, some kind of de-humidifier is always an option! If it happens that you don’t need the container long term, we also offer <a href="https://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/rental-lease/">rental storage containers</a>!</p>

<strong>Steel storage containers are made to withstand international shipping. </strong> They are tough, strong and versatile. While many individuals use them for storing items during transit, they can be used to store items on land, and they can be modified to serve as office space, home, restroom and so much more. Because of their shape, they are also sometimes referred to as conex boxes. Many construction companies also use them for keeping materials and equipment on the construction site.<br />
<br />
<strong>Uses Of Storage Containers</strong><br />
<strong>The main use of storage containers is self-explanatory.</strong> They are used to store items which could include construction equipment, portable generators, mobile office, old furniture, tools and all other sorts of equipment.<br />
Car dealers use these steel storage containers to keep their equipment, tools, and tires safe from theft and damage. Some schools use them to keep their sports equipment, furniture, and materials safe. Because they are watertight, once you store your items in them, you do not have to worry about bad weather conditions. Their structure is also so hardy that it would take too much effort to break into and that is why cases of steel containers vandalism are almost non-existent.<br />

<p><strong>There are</strong> many different reasons someone might want to build a garage but one of the most significant decisions what materials to use for the construction. Shipping containers are one of the best options for garage building. Today we are going to discuss some of the benefits of choosing a <a href="http://www.allstatescontainers.com/shipping-storage/40-storage-containers/">shipping container</a> for your garage.</p>
<h3><strong>Choose A Style</strong></h3>
<p><strong>There are a</strong> variety of different styles for shipping container garages. We are going to spend the time to go over only a few, but you can find many of them on the internet. We’ll focus on the most popular.</p>
<h3><strong>Single Container</strong></h3>
<p><strong>You can take</strong> one container and convert it into a one car garage. However, a garage like this will only accommodate a compact car.</p>
<h3><strong>Multiple Container</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Place one</strong> container on either side to act as walls and then use more containers to form the roof. This design may take up more space and cost more, but it provides you with a lot of storage.</p>
<h3><strong>Two Containers With a Roof</strong></h3>
<p><strong>These designs</strong> utilize a container on either side then a metal roof between the two. The roof style can include Inner Mount Roof, Outer Mount Roof, Barn Style Roof, or Gable Roof.</p>
<h3><strong>Container Sizes</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Container sizes are</strong> standardized to conform to shipping standards. The most common sizes are 20-ft and 40-ft containers. However, sizes range anywhere between 10 ft and 45 ft. If you’re going to get a container for a garage, you want to consider the size of the vehicles and storage that you were going to need.</p>
<p><strong>For taller vehicles</strong> and vehicles that have roof racks, you’ll need to get tall-style containers. Remember to factor in the slope of the roof when determining how high your garage needs to be.</p>
<h3><strong>Container Types</strong></h3>
<p><strong>The most common</strong> type of container for people to utilize is used containers. A used container is typically much cheaper than a new one as they have seen service transporting cargo. Most used containers will have signs of use such as dents and chips. Some might even have rust that needs to be removed.</p>
<p><strong>Another type</strong> of container is a one trip container. These containers are the newest ones that you can get. They have seen only one trip, the trip from China to the US. One trip containers have never seen service as part of a cargo company.</p>
<p><strong>Modifications</strong><strong>Shipping containers</strong> are extremely durable and can be modified to meet any needs. Here are some of the modifications that can be made:</p>
<ul>
<li>Air Conditioning</li>
<li>Electricity (Outlets)</li>
<li>Heating</li>
<li>Lighting</li>
<li>Lock Boxes</li>
<li>Roll Up Security Doors</li>
<li>Screen Doors (Behind Container Doors)</li>
<li>Shelving</li>
<li>Ventilation</li>
<li>Windows</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Building a garage</strong> out of shipping containers only makes sense, the price and build time are remarkable. With this article, you will know a little more about your options. The benefit of being able to construct something to meet your exact needs is pretty hard to resist.</p>

However, the fact of the matter is that there is a whole host of benefits that come with shipping containers, making them the ideal solution to so many projects. Here, we’ll cover just a few of the reasons why shipping containers should be your material of choice</p>
<h3><strong>Tough</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Shipping containers</strong> are designed to keep their contents safe and secure through extreme, rough weather. That means they need to be incredibly durable – which also makes them the perfect pick for construction. They are more than strong enough to build a home out of, and that gives them a considerable edge over other eco-friendly alternatives like recycled plastics. So long as you take care of the steel, your shipping container buildings will last for decades without ever springing a leak.</p>
<h3><strong>Affordable</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Right now,</strong> we’re in a bit of a housing slump, as the next generation struggles to afford the high costs of housing. However, shipping containers offer a smart solution to this problem. The average 40ft shipping container costs under $2,000, but gives you an impressive 320 square feet of living space. Put three of them together, and you’ve got an incredible 1000 square feet for under $6,000. With the average price of a house and land being over $300,000, shipping container construction can bring that cost into a more affordable range for many people even when adding the expensive of modification.</p>
<h3><strong>Eco-Friendly</strong></h3>
<p><strong>One of the</strong> main reasons why plenty of people choose to build homes out of shipping containers is the fact that they are an eco-friendly option. With more and more of us conscious of our impact on the environment, and keen to reduce our carbon footprint, using recycled materials is the obvious choice. Around half a million shipping containers are abandoned every year- instead of letting all that steel (some 7,700 lbs per container) go to waste, why not reclaim it? Saving you money, and protecting the environment- what’s not to like?</p>
<h3><strong>Portable</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Finally, one of</strong> the great things about shipping container homes is that they are incredibly portable. All you need to do is ensure that they are securely held down while you’re living inside them, and you can transport them just about anywhere! Since they are so quick to build and set up, they are the ideal housing solution if you need to move around – or if you just feel like living that nomad lifestyle.</p>

Usually, these Shipping Containers are treated using several methods to increase the sturdiness and the longevity. The characteristics of the steel used to manufacture <a href="http://ift.tt/1ScrJVt">Shipping Containers</a> are essential when determining the overall quality. Let’s see what the general properties of Shipping Containers are.</p>
<p><strong>When it comes</strong> to insulation properties, steel is not the best option. Steel absorbs heat remarkably well and takes some time to cool down. Therefore, if you ship commodities that must be kept in a stable environment, you may need to think of heat-controlling options, such as heat-resistant storage bags, for your cargo. Steel shipping containers can also be modified by applying proper insulation. When insulated, they can resist heat and protect your goods. In addition to that, they are the best option available in terms of withstanding harsh weather conditions such as storms, rain, and snow. That is precisely why steel containers are frequently used to build various structures varying from small food outlets to massive storage buildings.</p>
<p><strong>A proper steel</strong> shipping container is made to meet the industry standards. These standards must confirm that the respective material is capable of resisting corrosion while offering tensile strength. In the United States, COR-TEN is the accepted industry standard. In order to meet the standard, the materials are produced by a combination of copper, chromium, manganese, and nickel in addition to the iron.</p>
<p><strong>However, when</strong> exposed to harsh weather conditions, the COR-TEN certified containers may form a thin coat of rust over time if there is no protective paint applied. This rust is developing to prevent further rusting. This built-in protection means that the container has double protection against rust when treated with a weather-resistant paint (if the paint comes off, the underlying rust coating will prevent further rusting).</p>
<p><strong>Because of</strong> these qualities, many people tend to consider Shipping Containers as a prime option regarding building structures of various scales. They are affordable, environmentally friendly and easy to manipulate. Customizing these Shipping Containers is a straightforward task. A creative person with a right amount of experience can do wonders with Shipping Containers.</p>

While many people opt for the former, if you take a closer look at things, there are plenty of reasons why shipping containers are the perfect pick. For the cost, convenience, and durability, shipping containers have storage sheds beat at every step of the way. Don’t just take our word for it, though let’s examine more closely just what makes <a href="http://ift.tt/1ScrJVt">shipping containers</a> the ideal option.</p>
<p><strong>First of all,</strong> we’ll take a look at the cost. When it comes to ample storage, every square foot counts, so you’ll want to secure the best price possible. Luckily for you, a shipping container averages around $8 cheaper per square foot compared to storage sheds. Those savings quickly add up the more substantial your container, so you’ll save a pretty penny by buying a shipping container.</p>
<p><strong>When you’re</strong> looking at storage solutions, as well as cost, you’ll also want to ensure that it’s durable. Again, shipping containers have the edge over storage sheds in this regard, too. Made from highly weather-resistant steel, they also come coated with a special paint that makes the surfaces extra tough. Even the underside of the container is treated with an undercoating, just like a car, to prevent it from rusting and weakening. All that adds up to a remarkably strong container; in fact, each one could withstand the weight of six fully loaded containers stacked on top of it- that’s over 350,000lbs!</p>
<p><strong>On the other hand</strong>, a storage shed needs a full coat of paint every couple of years to prevent the wood from cracking. Wouldn’t you instead choose a solution that won’t require any maintenance for a decade or more? Another advantage of the extra durability of shipping containers is that they are remarkably effective at keeping mice out. With a wooden storage shed, a gap of even 1/4” is big enough for an infestation to get in- that’s just not an issue with a metal container.</p>
<p><strong>Finally,</strong> shipping containers are incredibly easy to set up. All you need is an empty, flat area to put the container in, and it’s ready to go! In contrast, a storage shed needs to be built on-site, which will cost time and money. So, if you need a robust and secure storage solution, the choice is clear: a shipping container is the way to go!</p>

A shipping container is a blank canvas which can be customized for a variety of uses. It already comes equipped with impressive security features, excellent mobility, superb strength, and durability – now just add the details. Pop-up retail stores, food venues, classrooms, workshops, homes, even hotels have all been created using shipping containers. The projects are endless. Any <a href="http://ift.tt/2qPYgM0">custom container</a> project you can think can be successful if you know these steps to follow.</p>
<h3><strong>Planning</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Although this is</strong> the ‘obvious first step’ of any designing process, many people don’t do it correctly. You should have a good idea about how you are going to customize the container and assemble the final structure. Look at the money you have in hand versus the total project cost, the source of the containers, timeframe for the project, permits needed and their lead time, etc.</p>
<h3><strong>Functionality</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Next, you should</strong> have a precise idea about the function of the custom container. Are you going to use it for a residential purpose, workshop, storage or another purpose? What is the minimum amount of space you need? Are you going to need power? If so, will you use solar power or connect to the local grid? Do you need more than one level? Do you need any unique features?</p>
<h3><strong>Floor Plan</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Regardless of</strong> the size of the project, it is imperative to create a well-designed floor plan. In this floor plan of the custom container, you must include details like the number of rooms, compartments, bathrooms (if any), office (if any), storage area, etc. If you are not familiar with such process, you should get the assistance of an expert. How will people using the finished structure flow through it?</p>
<h3><strong>Budget</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Have a</strong> project budget and a contingency budget worked out before any construction starts. It is always better to be prepared for unexpected expenses no matter how well you plan the process. You might come across a variety of additional costs during the whole process, and that is why you have a contingency budget. You can minimize the risk by contacting experts in the respective fields. During the preparation of the budget, you may contact professionals like; architects, structural engineers, shipping container resellers, mechanical engineers, etc.</p>
<h3><strong>Location</strong></h3>
<p><strong>As with any</strong> structure, it is imperative that to pick the best place to install your custom container (especially if it is a permanent structure). Choose level ground with good soil condition. Create a foundation that will keep the structure level. Moreover, make sure to reduce the potential impact on the environment while you are building your <a href="http://ift.tt/2qPYgM0">custom container</a>.</p>

Another reason for the spike in interest for <a href="http://ift.tt/1ScrJVt">shipping containers</a> as building blocks is due to its simplicity, durability, and its low cost compared to traditional materials.</p>
<p><strong>One could easily</strong> be misled to think using shipping containers to make a house is as simple as the container itself. Far from it! Just as there are challenges when building a house using traditional materials, constructing a house with shipping containers has its challenges too.</p>
<p><strong>What better way</strong> can you prepare for these difficulties than learning from folks who have walked the path you are planning? To answer this question, here is some advice from shipping container home owners about what they wish they knew when building their container homes.</p>
<p><strong>Below are</strong> the top tips from these home owners.</p>
<h3><strong>Make Sure You Visit and Inspect the Containers Before Buying</strong></h3>
<p><strong>You don’t want to</strong> take delivery of containers that have been weather beaten or are of poor shape. Don’t take the company’s word that the containers are in good condition. Your idea of good condition and theirs may vary considerably. See the containers and take pictures of identifying marks before purchasing.</p>
<h3><strong>Stay Up-to Date with Local Regulations and Standards</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Staying within</strong> local regulations regarding housing constructions and safety rules will save you future headaches. Building codes vary from place to place. Be sure to find out what they are in your area. Climate, fire, electrical codes are different, verify that you are in compliance.</p>
<h3><strong>Find a Contractor That Can Do It All</strong></h3>
<p><strong>If you can locate</strong> a contractor that can handle the whole process from start to finish, hire them. You’ll be saving time, money, and be working with a contractor that already knows what you want to be done without having to go through the whole process of explaining with each new contractor.</p>
<h3><strong>Don’t Expect a Huge Savings</strong></h3>
<p><strong>The cost of building</strong> a shipping container home can be similar to a traditionally built house. It will depend on several factors: location, climate, size, etc. Good control of the pricing will help with this decision. Do your homework.</p>
<h3><strong>Avoid Welding</strong></h3>
<p><strong>As much as you can</strong> try to minimize the number of cut-outs you do since this keeps the level of welding to be done on the shipping container to a minimum. Welding is expensive because of the time it takes.</p>
<h3><strong>Insulation is Important</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Learning how to</strong> insulate your container is critical for your comfort and the finances. In cold climates, insulation is a must for these large metal boxes. Improperly installed insulation will result in problems with condensation. Get expert advice for this step.</p>
<h3><strong>Plan For Plumbing</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Planning is essential</strong> to the success of your building, but it is doubly important to pay closer attention to your plumbing needs. If you are stacking multiple containers, have all the cutouts in the floors and ceilings done before they are stacked, so running pipes is easy.</p>
<p><strong>As in any endeavor,</strong> there will be ups and downs during the building process, but these tips will help you avoid some of the major mistakes made by past home builders.</p>

A lot of people today are wanting to purchase these versatile containers. Whether they are for homes, storage, or office buildings, they are known to be able to hold up to a beating. One of the first questions that people ask is how much will a shipping container cost? Let’s take a look at some of the factors that will affect cost.</p>
<h3><strong>Brand New/Used/Rental</strong></h3>
<p><strong>There are three</strong> options for purchasing shipping containers: brand new, used, and rental. Rentals will be the cheapest option for the short term but the longer you need them, the more expensive they will be. Brand new containers will be of the highest quality and therefore, their price will also be the most expensive.</p>
<p><strong>If you don’t need</strong> the shiniest or newest container, buying a used container will save you the most money.</p>
<h3><strong>Size of Container</strong></h3>
<p><strong>In most areas</strong> of the country, you will typically be able to get 20 and 40-foot shipping containers for much better prices than any other size out there. These sizes are standard for the shipping industry, and there is a significant quantity available. Other sizes can be found at deal prices, but it takes some work to locate these deals.</p>
<h3><strong>Your Location</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Shipping containers can</strong> be found cheap if you live (or are shopping) near a port/shipping yard, especially an international port. When a container is damaged or has reached a certain age, they are sold, and that is an opportunity for purchasing one. If you want to buy one and do not live near a port, you will have to pay transport fees and other associated costs.</p>
<h3><strong>Quality and Condition</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Not all shipping</strong> containers are built with the same quality. Some containers get sold because they are damaged. You will pay more for a higher quality shipping containers and also pay more for those that weren’t damaged. In many cases, damaged shipping containers only receive minor damage and are removed from service for safety reasons.</p>
<p><strong>Shipping containers</strong> appear at every port for sale, but they have become very popular. If you want to get the best prices on shipping containers, you might need to shop around. You will also have to do your best to get to the sales first. The best deals go quickly.</p>

These reductions were due to the efficiency of their handling, management, the reduction in shipping time, and the need for warehousing. Their simple design allows <a href="http://ift.tt/2qPYgM0">storage containers</a> to be transported easily, be it by truck, rail or ships; giving storage containers a great versatility.</p>
<p><strong>When talking about</strong> durability and longevity, steel storage containers excel due to the strength of the material. General purpose storage containers or “dry freight” containers are made out of steel and known to be very durable, but are they weatherproof?</p>
<p><strong>Steel storage containers</strong> are made to be weatherproof because they are made using weathering steel, giving them heightened endurance to atmospheric corrosion, a needed trait because they are widely used on ocean-going vessels. The weatherproof steel works forming a protective anti-corrosion sheet on its surface thanks to the way the alloying elements that make up the steel are distributed. The weathering steel used in storage containers also has the property to “regrow” its protective sheet.</p>
<p><strong>Some of the</strong> damage steel storage containers sustain can come in fact, from its interior. The differentiation of internal and external temperature can cause humidity levels to reach a condensation build up that can damage items stored inside and even promote rust. This damage can be subverted by using absorb poles that utilize salts to absorb moisture or by adding ventilation systems. Both mechanisms do not disrupt in any way the storage container.</p>
<p><strong>A relatively recent use</strong> of steel storage containers is as self-contained structures. The fact that they were designed to support heavy loads have high strength and their basic square form that provides an effortless way of modular building. The weatherproof condition of steel storage containers comes in handy giving them the ability to withstand hard environmental conditions. This durability makes them ideal for use as mobile offices, emergency shelters, and even as houses.</p>
<p><strong>Steel storage containers</strong> are widely known to be eco-friendly; their low cost of manufacture, durability, and strength makes them one of the most valuable assets in the shipping and containerization industry.</p>
