I was running short on storage space. The materials and tools I had on the second floor started to get in my way. And to finish the second floor, I need to get most of that stuff cleared out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t have a garage, and I am not really interested in building one, at least not at this point. Nor do I have a garden shed, which would be useful to stash things away. The problem with either one is that breaking into them isn\u2019t that difficult. And that is a problem in an urban environment, particularly if we intend to store tools in the shed\/garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, we needed a storage option that was secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution that came to mind was a decommissioned shipping container (also called intermodal container<\/a>). They are made of steel and thus a reasonably secure storage option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shipping containers measure eight feet in width and eight and a half feet in height. Some containers are nine and a half feet tall. These are referred to as \u201chigh-cube<\/a>\u201d. Most shipping containers you may have seen are either 40 or 45 feet long<\/a>. That was way too big for our purposes. The shortest standard size is 20 feet<\/a>, which appeared to be my best bet, even though I was dreaming of a 10 foot long unit. But my initial research showed that 10 footers were custom fabricated and more expensive than a standard 20 foot unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big question was, where does one purchase a 20 foot long decommissioned shipping container? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
