The Official TargetBox Guide to Custom Shipping Containers
Start with a quality shipping container, and the sky’s the limit to create the space of your dreams, whether you live in Ontario, British Columbia or anywhere else in Canada.
A shipping container is like a blank canvas – a space that’s ready for whatever creative modification you need to transform your rectangular box into a room that befits your needs and styles.
TargetBox has in-house teams of sea can modification experts who will help you to realize your big dreams in no time.
Shipping Container Dream to Reality
Whatever your reason for purchasing a shipping container, know that you’re starting a journey to see your dream come to life. Whether you’re adding storage space to your residential property, adding portable security to your construction site or storing excess product for your business, a shipping container is the best solution to your problem.
Many TargetBox customers buy their new or used shipping containers as-is, meaning that they do not require modifications to their new spaces. But an increasing number of customers are seeing the benefits of upgrading their units with fast, inexpensive and convenient modifications.
How to Get a Shipping Container Modified to Your Liking in Ontario or British Columbia
When you inquire about buying a shipping container, you don’t necessarily need more than a dream. With that in mind, our team will speak with you about your needs and property attributes to determine what container is best for you.
Along with some of the nitpicky details, like municipal by-laws, there are three main things to consider: container grade, container size and modifications desired.
1. Consider Shipping Container Grades
New Shipping Container – These containers are in remarkable condition, and have only had one journey from Asia to North America.
Used Shipping Container – These are good-quality containers with minor scratches, dents and rust, and have made a few oceangoing trips.
Construction-Grade Shipping Container – Sold in ‘as-is’ condition, these sea containers have very noticeable rust, dents and paint issues.
