Buy once, keep it forever

A container you own beats one you keep renting.

If you've been paying a storage-unit bill every month — or eyeing a wood shed that'll rot in ten years — buying a shipping container is usually the smarter money. It lives on your own land, holds its value, and shrugs off weather that would flatten a pole barn.

We sell genuine ISO containers, not flimsy lookalikes: 14-gauge Cor-Ten weathering steel, marine-grade plywood floors, and cargo doors that still seal after a decade at sea. Pick your size and condition, and we handle the rest — delivery, leveling, and a welded lockbox so it's secure the day it lands.

How buying works

From call to keys in about a week.

1

Tell us the job

Size, condition, color, and where it's going. We'll give you a real out-the-door number the same day — delivery included.

2

Confirm the fit

Send a photo or two of the driveway and drop spot. We confirm the truck can pull in and the pad's ready.

3

Delivered & leveled

Our tilt-bed rolls within the week, slides the container onto blocks, welds the lockbox, and hands you the keys.

Buy or rent?

Not sure you want to own it yet?

If you only need a container for a few months — a renovation, a job site, a seasonal crunch — renting is often the better move. You can always apply rent toward a purchase later.

As a rule of thumb, once you'll keep a box past about 18–20 months, buying wins.

Buying questions

Before you buy.

Used cargo-worthy 20-ft containers start around $3,200 delivered within 50 miles of Woodlawn. A 40-ft runs more, and newer one-trip units cost more again. Your quote always includes free local delivery, leveling on blocks, and a welded lockbox — no surprise add-ons.
One-trip containers crossed the ocean a single time and are nearly new — factory paint and seals. Cargo-worthy and WWT (wind & water tight) units have years of service behind them but stay structurally solid and dry. Same ~30-year outdoor lifespan; the difference is mostly looks and price.
Yes — for any address within 50 road miles of our Woodlawn yard, delivery is free and already in the price you're quoted. Outside 50 miles we quote the exact mileage charge up front before the truck rolls. Check your town →
A genuine ISO container is built from 14-gauge weathering (Cor-Ten) steel and routinely lasts 25–30 years sitting outdoors with no maintenance — far longer than a wood shed or pole barn for the same money.
For temporary placement on private rural land, a permit is almost never required and the container simply sits on leveled foundation blocks — no poured slab needed. For HOAs, town lots, or permanent foundations, check with your county. We're glad to talk through what your jurisdiction usually wants.
