20ft Used Shipping Container Wind and Watertight for Sale

20ft Used Shipping Container Wind and Watertight: Budget Friendly Secure Storage

This 20ft used shipping container is sourced from reputable ex shipping lines and has been fully inspected to confirm it is structurally sound, wind tight, and watertight. It is the most affordable entry point into genuine steel container storage, offering the same fundamental security and weather protection as new and one trip units at a fraction of the cost. If your priority is keeping goods dry, secure, and protected from the elements without paying a premium for cosmetic perfection, this is the practical choice.

The container may show signs of its previous life in active shipping service including minor dents, surface scratches, paint fading, and cosmetic wear. None of these affect its ability to keep water out, resist forced entry, or protect your stored goods from the weather. Every unit passes our quality inspection before sale, confirming that the structural frame is intact, the floor is sound, the doors close and seal correctly, and the roof, walls, and floor are free of holes or significant damage.

What Wind and Watertight Means

A container certified as wind and watertight has been inspected and confirmed to keep rain, snow, and wind driven moisture out of the interior when all doors are properly closed. The roof has no holes or failed seams, the wall panels are intact without perforations, the floor is solid without gaps, and the door seals create an effective barrier against weather ingress. This is the standard that matters for storage: your goods stay dry and protected regardless of external conditions.

Key Features

• Corten steel construction: High strength weathering steel that has already proven its durability through years of ocean service. The natural oxide layer continues to protect against further corrosion.
• Fully inspected: Every container is checked against our quality standards before sale, confirming structural integrity and weatherproof performance.
• Two locking bars per door: Independent cam lock mechanisms on each door leaf provide secure closure at multiple points along the frame.
• 28mm marine plywood floor: A thick, moisture resistant deck over steel cross members supports heavy loads and forklift operations.
• Ventilation: Built in vents promote air circulation, reducing moisture buildup and preventing condensation inside the container.
• 1,172 cubic feet capacity: Substantial internal volume for significant storage requirements.

Optional Extras

If appearance matters for your application, we offer a rub down and respray service in any RAL color of your choice. This process involves preparing the exterior surfaces, removing loose rust and old paint, and applying a fresh coat in your selected color. The result is a container that performs like used but looks refreshed and presentable for customer facing locations or properties where visual standards apply.
