Most sellers jump
straight to the sale.
A container is a 25-year investment. The difference between the right one and the wrong one is years of protection, or a rusted-out headache. Before you sign anything, you deserve to understand what you're buying.
Five decisions
stand between you
and the right container.
Work through them in order. Each guide answers the question buyers like you (Tom, Sarah, Mike) actually ask. No sales pitch, no jargon.
What size do you need?
A 20-foot holds one tractor. A 40-foot is your full arsenal. 40 High-Cube if you've got a tall implement.
→ Tom · 40-ft primary Open size guide § 02 · ConditionIs used good enough?
Every container we sell is Wind & Water Tight: used steel that's structurally sound and seals out the weather, for far less than new. For storage, it does everything new does.
→ Wind & Water Tight (used) Open condition guide § 03 · DeliveryWill it even get here?
Narrow lanes, soft ground, low branches: we plan for it. Tilt-bed for firm ground, crane-set for tight or rural access.
→ Mike · rural access Open delivery guide § 04 · CostWhat will it really cost?
All-in. Container, delivery, setup. No surprise fees. Fair regional pricing, with no premium just because you're rural.
→ Sarah · multi-unit Open pricing guide § 05 · PermitsDo I need a permit?
It depends on your county and how you'll use it. Rules vary widely, and confirming them with your local authority before you buy is up to you.

If any of this
sounds like you,
we've done it before.
We've placed 400+ containers across the region. Most of our customers are one of three people. Here's what they bought and why.
| Buyer | They said | We recommended | Why it fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| TomEquipment farmer | "Won't it rust? Will it protect my equipment long-term?" | 40-ft · High Cube | The extra foot of High Cube headroom clears a tall John Deere cab and a grain drill; Wind & Water Tight steel handles decades of weather. Sited on crushed stone, leveled with railroad ties. |
| SarahDiversified business owner | "Can we make this look professional? Scale to multiple units?" | 2 × 40-ft | Two Wind & Water Tight units: one for customer-facing inventory, one for back-stock. Painted to match the barn. |
| MikeHobby / rural | "Can you deliver to my property? Is used okay?" | 20-ft · Wind & Water Tight | Crane-set over a fenceline at the end of a gravel lane. Wind & Water Tight for a 2/3 cost savings. Horse trailer and tools stay dry. |
Three price points.
One honest average each.
Recent averages, with container, delivery, and placement on flat ground included.
Sticker prices elsewhere rarely include delivery. Ours do: every quote is all-in.
Or rent to own: no traditional credit check, 12-48 month terms, subject to third-party approval.
These are average starting prices, not quotes. What you pay can land above or below; it depends mostly on how far we deliver and current market supply. We'll give you a real, all-in number when you request a quote. (Average as of September 2026.)
- ~160 sq ft · fits a tractor or a lot of tools
- Wind & Water Tight, minor surface rust
- Most deliveries in about two weeks
- ~320 sq ft · equipment + implements + shelving
- The Sweet Spot: best value per square foot

- ~2,700 cu ft, the most cubic capacity in the lineup
- Headroom for shelving, tall equipment, or a build-out

The questions everyone asks
before they pay.
Won't it rust out on me?
Corten steel, painted inside and out. On crushed-stone pads with airflow underneath, 25 years is realistic. We'll show you how to prep the site.
Can you get it back my driveway?
Usually yes. Tilt-bed needs ~100 ft of approach and firm ground. For tight or soft sites, crane-set works with no lane damage. We'll scout before we schedule.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on your county and how you'll use the container, and rules vary widely. Confirming permit and zoning requirements with your local authority before you buy is the buyer's responsibility; we don't determine or guarantee them.
Is used actually safe for my equipment?
Every container we sell is Wind & Water Tight (used): structurally sound and weather-tight, with surface rust that's purely cosmetic. It keeps rain, wind, and snow off your equipment and holds up for decades on a prepped pad.
How quickly can you get it here?
Almost all deliveries take about two weeks. Depot inventory is stacked and sequenced (units aren't staged for quick pull) and drivers book out several weeks in advance, so exact timing depends on current availability. We'll give you an honest window before you commit, and you'll hear from us at every step until it's on your property.
How do I pay? Do you offer financing?
Two ways. Buy outright, paid in full up front, with Afterpay available for buyers who qualify so you can pay in installments while we schedule your unit right away. Or rent to own over 12, 24, 36, or 48 months through the Freedom Conex program: no traditional credit check, subject to third-party approval, and the container is yours at the end of the term.
How much does a shipping container cost?
As of September 2026, our average starting prices delivered are $1,980 for a 20ft Cargo, $2,370 for a 40ft Standard and $2,340 for a 40ft Standard HC, each one the mean of our seven home metros: Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington and Huntington. Those are averages and not quotes, so what you pay can land above or below, depending mostly on how far we deliver and on current market supply, and we give you a real all-in number when you ask for a quote.
