How Much Fits in a 20ft Storage Container?
One of the most common questions people ask when looking for storage is how much space a storage container actually provides.

A standard 20 foot shipping container is approximately 6 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 2.6 metres high.
This provides around 33 cubic metres of storage space, which is more than enough room for large household items, appliances, furniture and boxes.
Because containers are rectangular and easy to pack efficiently, they often hold more than people initially expect.
