Condition Options

Used WWT vs. One-Trip: Which Is Right for You?

Used Wind & Water Tight (WWT)

Structurally sound and guaranteed not to leak. Shows the normal cosmetic wear you'd expect from a container that's spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. But the interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a deeper breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide. Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.

Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm and ranch use, any application where appearance is less important than value.

One-Trip (Like New)

Made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. More expensive than used WWT.

Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, clients who want the best-looking unit, sensitive storage applications.

Use Cases

Uses for a 20ft Container

Home Renovation Storage

A 20ft container can hold furniture and belongings during kitchen remodels, basement finishing, and whole-home renovations, parked in the driveway while work is underway.

Texas Ranch Storage

A 20ft container can store hand tools, fencing supplies, tack, small equipment, and seasonal items on smaller ranches and hobby farms.

Contractor Tool Storage

A 20ft container suits smaller job sites where a 40ft is too large or too hard to position. It locks and is weather-tight for storing tools and materials.

Rural Property Gear

ATVs, hunting gear, fishing equipment, and off-season items need weatherproof storage at rural properties. A 20ft container can provide it.

Small Business Overflow

A 20ft container can hold seasonal inventory overflow for retailers, landscape companies, and equipment rental operations.

Vehicle & Classic Car Storage

A 20ft container is wide enough to store a motorcycle or ATV and can sit on a paved area or in a driveway. It can protect vehicles from hail and UV exposure.

FAQ

20ft Container Questions

It depends on the delivery route and the placement spot. You need 110 feet of straight, unobstructed clearance for the delivery truck. The container itself is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. If your driveway is tight, send a photo or description when you request a quote. HOA properties may have placement restrictions, so check before ordering.
For general storage, renovation, or moving, a used WWT container is structurally sound and guaranteed not to leak. One-trip is worth the premium if you want the cleanest possible interior or are planning a conversion project (office, studio, etc.). Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.
A 20ft container has roughly 1,170 cubic feet of interior space. The interior floor is about 19 ft 4 in by 7 ft 9 in, with 7 ft 10 in of height. You can fit the contents of a household storage unit, a significant amount of construction materials, or multiple pallets of inventory. The maximum payload is around 47,900 lbs.
It depends on your municipality. Rural Texas counties often have no permit requirement for temporary storage containers. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and other metro areas may require a permit for placement lasting more than a short term or for permanent structural use. Check with your local building department.
