Rent A Space do not use nor recommend old shipping containers to store your valuable goods

FOR 3 GOOD REASONS:

Shipping Container Moisture Problems

Condensation can appear when storing in shipping containers and during inclement months of the year this can become more of an issue. There are a number of contributory factors that create this problem….used shipping containers may have moisture in the floors from previous uses, and even new builds if left shut for prolonged periods may produce some moisture inside.

Shipping Containers Do Not Condensate What Is Placed in Them Which Then Causes The Problem

The items you are storing may well contain moisture of some kind even a bed mattress has a moisture content. Other household items like a dishwasher, clothing, washing machines, fridges and freezers, even in winter or summer, will turn that moisture into vapour as the temperature changes. Ultimately the result is vapour that will become water droplets that gather on the ceiling and start falling to the floor or on stored items.

Security

Containers can be locked but are usually stored in a yard secured only by a fence but in full view of passerbys and the opportunist thief.

Pests

Pests, Rodents and Insects can also enter Containers and cause damage to your possessions.
