Anyone in the storage business using storage containers.

[Mike Jackson]

Any advice out there for starting a storage business using shipping storage containers?

[Ryan Jacobson]

I have 70 shipping containers in a variety of door configurations that I use in addition to my standard self storage building. I prefer them as they are water tight and don't require building permits. I buy the 1 trip new units and use the metal walls from insta container to make the sizes I want for the 20ft double doors on both ends for 2-10ft units or 8ft and 12ft. I also have some 40ft with 6 side doors and 4 side doors for the perimeter of my property to block snow and wind. Just depends on your location if appropriate with zoning
