Custom-length Shipping Containers

Need a portable building that fits a specific space? We can trim down a shipping container to meet your size requirements. Contact us if you want an 8 ft container, 14 ft container, or any other non-standard size. Your custom-length shipping container will still be weatherproof, keeping contents safe from wind and rain.
