Our container storage units come in three sizes: 80 sq ft (a 10ft x 8ft container), 160 sq ft (20ft x 8ft) and 320 sq ft (40ft x 8ft). A 160 sq ft container can comfortably hold the contents of a three-bedroom home, or a 7.5-tonne lorry load.
Sizes by site
| Site | Container sizes |
|---|---|
| Chipping Norton | 80 sq ft (10ft x 8ft) and 160 sq ft (20ft x 8ft) |
| Shipston-on-Stour | 160 sq ft (20ft x 8ft) |
| Warminster | 320 sq ft (40ft x 8ft) |
We have a limited number of containers at each of these sites, so it’s worth asking what’s free when you book. For the full measurements of a standard steel container, see how big a 20ft shipping container is.
What fits
- 80 sq ft: half the floor space of a 160 sq ft container, and a handy size for excess stock and business equipment.
- 160 sq ft: the contents of a three-bedroom home, or a 7.5-tonne lorry load.
- 320 sq ft: twice the floor space of a 160 sq ft container, ideal for excess warehouse stock and large business equipment.
Because containers are drive-up, you can load straight from your vehicle, which makes a big move or regular trips for stock much quicker. At Chipping Norton and Shipston-on-Stour, our containers are insulated to help stop condensation. Our guide to condensation in container units has packing tips for any container.
Check the fit before you book
Unit sizes are approximate, so if a tight fit matters, the easiest thing is to check with us before you sign. Measure:
- your longest item, such as a sofa, a dining table or long timber;
- your tallest item standing up, such as a wardrobe or fridge-freezer;
- the widest thing that has to go through the door.
Then call us with those figures. Working out the space people need is what our team does every day. If a container isn’t the right fit, ask about the other units at your site, and you can switch between an indoor unit and a container later if your needs change and one is free.
