Shipping Container Parts Storage Layouts

[Mike Cecil]

Lionel,

We had three 20 foot containers at Gunning, NSW. Two were mine, with shelving along one wall, walkway along the other. The third belonged to a friend who stored his Jensen in it for several years before taking it to the UK & restoring it. Purchased them in Victoria and used them to move everything to Gunning when we moved in 2000, so useful for transferring 'stuff' as well as static storage.

Never had any problems with rust or moisture, spiders or rats. I sometimes let off a insecticide can 'bomb' inside to be sure to eradicate any spiders I had not found. The containers were there for 10 years without any extra roofing - good intentions to roof them over but never quite got around to it. Each one was supported on a concrete block at each corner.

One was sold to Qld with the Dingo packed inside; the other two went in the clearing sale. It was the cheapest storage I've ever had: all three sold for more than I paid for them 10 years earlier.
