I have a 20′ container at my storage yard.It was sorta high $1800.00 and 40′s go $2200.00 and up depending on condition (Denver) It’s always good to watch craigslist,a valuable tool both buying and selling or such as rbauctions near you.

Price seems to vary, depending on how far you are from a seaport. Where I live, figure about $3000. The 40′ long ones aren’t hardly any more expensive than the shorter ones. I’m not sure of the advantages except for cost and it would be fast shelter. They’re ugly as sin to have around the farm imho, but you didn’t ask about disadvantages.

I guess they are weather proof. However not aesthetic at all. Your best option is to go with self storage. You can put your gardening gear in storage and take it out in season, or use a unit for other stuff you don’t need and keep your gardening tools at home. check it out, it’s worth it good luck!

You can get a lot of condensation inside unless you ventilate well.

The advantages are that it is a quick shed. The main disadvantage is unless you buy an insulated one or provide extra ventilation, every thing you put inside will rust or rot from the condensation. They vary in price from fifteen hundred to three thousand depending on location and the condition of the container.
