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. :P

I've always wanted a storage container, maybe two. Bury them in the ground somewhere and use them for crazy stuff. :twisted:

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!!)
:P

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 :shock: 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
