Anyone got any experience of these?    I'm thinking about renting one. 

The prices seem to vary massively from about £200 a month for a 50sqft room in a warehouse type place from one of the big storage companies down to £79 a month from a local company with a similar set up.

There's 2 or 3 places near here where you can rent a shipping container in a yard. £80 a month for a 20ft and £100 a month for a 40ft at one place I saw. 

I wonder if the shipping containers suffer with condensation and everything will get damp and mouldy though?

Ask your local drug dealer which type offers the best security & value for money..👍

We had a 40ft shipping container in a yard for 6 months or so.
We were advised to keep anything soft off the walls.  which we did.
Everything was perfect when removed, did the job for us perfectly to tide us over for storage while we moved.
No condensation or other issues for us.

[TheBoy]

Round our way, they split a container into about 5 smaller units.  Condensationn is an issue, because, as Jimbob implies, it's not possible to keep stuff away from the sides.

When we looked, because we needed our stuff to stay dry, they container storage place we checked with advised against it, and suggested another place that was an older industrial estate unit split into small rooms.


As it happens, we never bothered, as the costs were too high in the end.

How much room do you need?. Is there not enough spare capacity within your house/garage/barn/outbuildings etc etc.

Only the lady at the big company's place I popped into asked what I wanted to store and was satisfied with my vague answer of some furniture and household stuff.

I'm sure there's something in the contract that says you can't store things like nuclear waste, but I don't think anyone checks.

Thinking about moving M'lud.  Might put my stuff into storage and disappear somewhere nice and sunny for a while.

In most movies now the bad guys always seem to end up with a shoot out amongst storage units, just be very careful who your dealing with ..😁

I used to rent a storage container in part of a mill complex. The first one I had was outside, and it suffered from condensation as previously said. I moved into one inside which was infinitely better. Any outside container really should be insulated (like the insulated tin roofing panels) to reduce the likelihood of condensation.

.....are you considering a Thai bride, Tig.

If so be very careful of the gentlman sauage 'pull back' that can be hard to detect until it is too late.

Yes. But thankfully not through any practical 'hands on' experience.
