10,8,6-Foot One-Trip Containers | Back Due to Popular Demand

Looking for Small yet Secure Storage?

We’re often asked for smaller containers, but in the market, many are simply cut down from 20fts. This often means they don’t have the same build quality, security features, or factory finish.

We’re excited to announce the restocking of our genuine one-trip 10ft, 8ft & 6ft shipping containers, perfect for sites where space is tight but secure storage is still essential. We had these earlier this year and they sold out quickly.

✅ Compact, space-saving design
✅ One-trip condition
✅ Fast delivery from local depots
✅ Available in Green (RAL 6007) & Blue (RAL 5010)
✅ Call now for a 30-second quote

The team absolutely smashed it this month, so we had to celebrate the best way we know how: free lunch, endless sweets, and goodies all day! Our sales Exec, as always, one of the first to open the goods.

Huge thank you to our amazing team for making it happen.

Mad about Football?

We decided to use the likenesses of two of our very own sales team Mason Stavri & Charlotte Rainey, to demonstrate just how far you can take a container conversion.

It doesn't have to be a football den, either. Whether you need a secure home office, a garden room, or the ultimate fan cave, shipping containers are built to adapt.

Why choose a container conversion?

Fully Customised: Add electrics, lighting, windows, standard doors, or full glass bi-folds.

Flexibility: Sizes ranging from 6ft to 40ft to fit any space.

Maximum Security: Solid steel construction paired with heavy-duty lockboxes makes them a far safer alternative to a standard garden shed.

Rethink your space and give your garden an upgrade that actually lasts.

Thoughts on the game tonight?

A few weeks before the World Cup we held a Word Cup preview event with our brand ambassador Tony Cottee. Here we have Tony & Mitch, our MD, talking about England's chances. Impressively Mitch predicts that we'll play Mexico in Mexico. He predicted we'd lose, fortunately that wasn't the case.
