Shipping Container Parts Storage Layouts

It would pay for itself in the long run if you swiped your MYKI card every time you went in to fetch something.

Lionel,

We had three 20 foot containers at Gunning, NSW. Two were mine, with shelving along one wall, walkway along the other. The third belonged to a friend who stored his Jensen in it for several years before taking it to the UK & restoring it. Purchased them in Victoria and used them to move everything to Gunning when we moved in 2000, so useful for transferring 'stuff' as well as static storage.

Never had any problems with rust or moisture, spiders or rats. I sometimes let off a insecticide can 'bomb' inside to be sure to eradicate any spiders I had not found. The containers were there for 10 years without any extra roofing - good intentions to roof them over but never quite got around to it. Each one was supported on a concrete block at each corner.

One was sold to Qld with the Dingo packed inside; the other two went in the clearing sale. It was the cheapest storage I've ever had: all three sold for more than I paid for them 10 years earlier.

How often do you need to move your container around your property?

Every bus I have ever seen being used for storage looks like some derelict Steptoe and Son junk pile. A container outside still looks like a nice square box even if it is a bit rusted after 20 years while a bus sitting there will be most unattractive.

Anyhow to each his own.

Yes that's true but my neighbour likes to tinker with anything mechanical , he waterproofs the buses and he keeps everything looking neat and tidy. He actually sleeps in a 1959 Austin bus that runs, the Austin is clean and cared for. He isn't married of course.
