Uses for Flat Pack Storage Containers
Our flat pack storage containers aren’t only a convenient and access friendly alternative to shipping containers, they are also extremely versatile. Sizes range from 2m x 2.1m to 6m x 2.1m, although we can also offer linked flat pack containers which can help achieve either 4m x 4.2m or 8m x 2.1m.These units can also come with a galvanised finish or green, blue or green powder coating finish.
Storage space has become increasingly hard to come by and a flat pack container is the perfect alternative for those unable to cater for a shipping container. Although made out of galvanised steel and not Corten steel like shipping containers, these units offer a guaranteed long term storage solution.
Garden Shed
A lot of our customers use our flat pack storage containers as an alternative to the traditional garden shed. The units offer a much stronger and long term solution to your storage needs in comparison to a standard wooden shed.
These containers also look the part which often is a big factor for people if the unit is to be a mainstay in their gardens!
Another reason that flat pack containers are the perfect garden storage solution is that they can be easily taken apart and re-assembled (practical if you are moving house).
Motorcycle Store
Flat pack containers can be used for motorcycle storage as an effective way to preserve a motorcycle/bicycle from the harsh UK weather at a fraction of the cost of a garage.
We also offer units constructed with 18-gauge steel. These motorcycle storage containers come with a steel floor and wooden sub floor so the base is extremely robust as they are made specifically for the purpose of storing a motorcycle.
Some people prefer the standard flat pack storage container to the motorcycle specific stores as they offer extra space to store other equipment.
Equipment Store
The most common flat pack container use is storage – particularly household storage as they offer a smart and space conscious solution.
These units are popular with sports clubs as many require a container to be sited on grass or non solid ground, this can prove difficult with a standard shipping container due to the size and weight of hiab lorries.
Many building companies prefer these to standard shipping containers as they allow them to easily transport the unit to different sites while also being versatile enough to act as an office or storage for building materials.
Warehouse/Indoor Use
Although predominantly used for outdoor purposes, flat pack units are also ideal for those who require an indoor workshop or a storage solution that protects valuable or fragile items from the many hazards within a warehouse.
Normal shipping containers are delivered on a Hiab vehicle making them near impossible to be situated in doors whereas flat pack containers are delivered kerbside so can be easily moved into a warehouse or other indoor space.
Chemical Store
Although the standard flat pack containers aren’t the most effective for chemical storage, we do offer chemical storage flat pack containers (as well as an insulated alternative) built for this purpose.
These units come equipped with a suspended wire mesh floor on top of a raised bund which catches any spills avoiding any contamination and allowing the waste to be easily and safely disposed of.
Shop or Kiosk
The majority of our flat pack container range can also serve well as a shop. A perfect example being one of our flat pack storage containers used by Flat Pack Storage Container for ReUniform at Benton Dene. Alternatively if you want a flat pack catered more towards being used as a shop we offer Flat Pack Kiosk Containers, Flat Pack Office Containers and Linked Flat Pack Storage Containers can all be great options with features such as insulation, serving hatches and windows resulting in a more practical solution while proving attractive to customers!
