Buying a container in the Burien area

The buy-or-rent call comes down to how long the box stays put. Buy when the container has a permanent job: storage at a business, a workshop, a spot behind the house that is not moving. Rent when the need has an end date, like a remodel, a move or a season of overflow. Either way you get the same delivered price process and the same steel box. To start, send a ZIP code and what you need. A real person checks stock at the yard nearest that ZIP for the size and grade you want, books tilt-bed or flatbed delivery and sends one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off.

Our containers come in 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube sizes, new (one-trip) or used. When you ask for a price, we match the size and grade you want to the yard closest to your ZIP code, so your container travels the shortest distance, and send you one delivered price. You deal with one person from quote to drop-off.

Tilt-bed or flatbed delivery

Most people choose tilt-bed delivery: the truck tilts its bed and slides the container straight onto your pad, so you need no equipment. If you have a forklift or crane on site, we can send the container on a flatbed instead and you unload it. How delivery works.

What Burien weather means for a steel container

Wet, cool air is the other thing to plan for. Condensation forms inside a steel box when warm moist air meets cold walls, and vents let that moisture escape. Add a firm, level pad so the floor stays dry and the doors swing free. Both steps are simple and both protect what you put inside.

Common container uses around Burien

Local conditions to plan for

Rain and moisture

Long wet seasons call for a pad that drains, a slight slope away from the doors and vents to keep condensation and mildew down.

Placement rules

Rules for containers on private property are set by your city or county, and sometimes your HOA or deed restrictions. Some places treat a container like a shed; others have rules on size, placement, screening or how long it can stay. Check with your local planning or zoning office before delivery. See container rules in Washington for what we found on official state sites.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a 20ft and a 40ft container?

The 20ft standard measures 20' L x 8' W x 8'6" H outside and suits home and farm storage and small jobsites. The 40ft standard measures 40' L x 8' W x 8'6" H outside and suits bulk storage, equipment and larger jobsites. The 40ft high cube keeps the same length and width at 9'6" H for tall items, shelving and workshops.

How long does delivery take in Burien?

The quote process starts with your ZIP code and what you need. Timing depends on the size, the grade and the site, and the details come with your delivered price.

How do I stop condensation inside a container in Burien?

Vent the box so moist air can escape, and set it on a firm, level pad so the floor stays dry. Keep stored goods off the floor and away from the walls to let air move.
