Size and Capacity
A standard 20ft shipping container offers around 1,170 cubic feet of storage space, while a 40ft container doubles that to approximately 2,390 cubic feet. If space efficiency is your goal or you’re limited by your site dimensions, a 20ft container might be your best bet. On the other hand, if you’re transporting large items or building a container based structure, the 40ft container is the more spacious option.
Cost Considerations
Naturally, a 40ft container costs more than a 20ft container. However, when you look at the cost per cubic foot, 40ft containers actually offer better value. If you need a lot of space and have the budget, going bigger can be more economical in the long run. Explore our competitively priced options at Peaksauna.
Use Cases
- 20ft Containers: Great for urban storage, small construction sites, or compact office setups.
- 40ft Containers: Ideal for shipping, building modular homes, workshops, or multi-room storage.
Portability
20ft containers are easier to transport and require less logistical coordination. If your site is in a tight or hard-to-access area, this could be a major advantage.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, the best container size depends on your needs, space, and budget. At Peaksauna, we offer both 20ft and 40ft shipping containers in various conditions to suit every buyer.
