Sometimes it is very easy to find the items that you're looking for
, but when it comes to steel storage containers it can be an absolutely nightmare to find one of these. You're probably wondering what exactly this kind of storage container is. Well, it is the massive containers that literally look like the back end of an 18 wheeler, just without the wheels. These are items that typically are owned by businesses for transportation and/or storage of material. They have the ability to hold tens of thousands of pounds of material and literally have thousands of square feet of space.
You'll never find of these if you live in a small town and sometimes even smaller cities don't have them. The most common place you'll find them is in port cities. Steel storage containers are often shipped on massive boats and shipyards need them, so manufacturers are all close by. Also, you can find the same containers used on trains, though they're not as common as you would find on boats. Basically you want to go through the yellow pages in a city that has a massive port or is a massive hub for the trains. Make sure you shop around because you can find deals and the closer the container is to you, the less you have to pay to transport it.
I want to point out that steel storage containers are expensive. A tiny 250 square feet one will cost you over a thousand dollars. A big one that has a few thousand square feet will cost you in the range of $10,000.
