Im after hiring or possibly buying a storage container, the only ones ive seen closest to me are "china shipping" ones that appear abandoned but locked  I hear they are about £25 a week or something to hire out and thats too expensive  anyone who has hired know a company cheap? someone told me ages ago that some people are lucky with buying storage containers, one guy bought one and when opened it had a fully kitted out toolshed in it, very expensive stuff that he could just keep. Also someone who bought a storage container from the military, container was unwanted, when he opened that up there lay 2 brand new V6 military land rovers which also he got to keep  Id prefer an empty one though

Whatever you want to store you should just bury somewhere. Much cheaper. I've always wanted a storage container, maybe two. Bury them in the ground somewhere and use them for crazy stuff.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

What are you trying to store?
How much crap do you have?

You haven't put 2 and 2 together then? Why does it have to be a storage container and where are you thinking about putting it? Why not self storage instead?

They're worth a fortune in scrap, so you won't get one cheaply.

Really? £25 per week. That sounds quite good value to me.

If it’s a transport container, then yes, it is good. Just be sure not to store stuff that is temperature sensitive.

Just secure warehouse space that you rent, priced on a square-feet (or metre) capacity. Just an example (other companies available): http://www.bigyellow.co.uk/personal/ (have 74 stores nationwide) Get a quote here: http://www.bigyellow.co.uk/quote#body(maybe best not mention all the Nazi stuff!!)

Where are you based? Bound to be be other companies in your area that offer self storage, check your Yellow Pages if you have one?

yellow pages is depressing  I might ask my friend whos got a farm, shes got a storage container, derelict caravans, ruins, a mini scrapyard of vintage cars and a cow farm  near around the area RAF bombed the place for practise during the war, some kids were digging in the 80s in "the zone" they blew themselves into a million pieces. Still after hiring a hearse too. for prop/fun purposes problem is the person who has the hearse company has the surname of someone I hate from highschool, so I cant chance it incase its HIS family  such a bugger this place is too damn small
