We can’t answer these questions, but we do know a thing or two about storage containers.

If you’ve ever wondered what storage containers are made of, how much they will hold or whether they can be delivered to any location, this post is for you. Let’s answer some of the top storage container questions out there. 

What are your storage containers made of?

Our containers are constructed with state-of-the-art materials like fiberglass-reinforced walls (which make them smooth) and feature galvanized steel framing for strength.

How much does each storage container hold?

One container can fit the contents of a typical 1,500-square-foot home. To get a better idea of what each container holds, use our storage calculator.

Where can storage containers be delivered?

Anywhere in the North Texas area that has a level surface with no obstructions and that you have permission to use. We often deliver containers on driveways, parking lots and streets (with proper permits).

Is there anything I can’t store in a storage container?

You shouldn’t store anything dangerous, perishable or extremely valuable in a storage container. Review this blog about common items you can’t store in a storage container and give us a call if you have a specific question about an item.  (No, you can’t store a vehicle, either.)
