Why choose a small conex box?
- It fits where others don’t. At about 8 feet long and 7′ 3″ wide, it needs little more room than a parked car.
- Secure, weatherproof storage. Steel walls, a lockable door and a solid floor protect tools, gear and stock.
- Easy to customize. Add a personnel door, a window, shelving or power to make a booth, tool crib or mini office.
What fits in an 8ft container?
About the contents of a large closet: lawn and garden equipment, bikes, seasonal decorations, tools, or a few dozen moving boxes. Check your largest items against the door opening in the table above.
8ft or 10ft?
If you’re close, the 10ft conex box adds roughly 70% more space for a small step up in footprint. For general storage on a site with more room, a 20ft conex box usually costs less per square foot.

Questions and answers
Can I buy a small conex box used?
Yes. We sell 8ft units new, used or customized. See the 8ft standard conex box for current prices.
Can I put an 8ft container in my backyard?
Often, yes, if the delivery truck can reach the spot or get close to it. Check your HOA rules and local zoning for accessory structures first.
How much room is needed to deliver it?
Most containers arrive on a tilt-bed truck that slides the unit onto the ground. Plan for firm, level ground, a long straight approach for the truck and clear space overhead, with no wires or branches. Describe your site when you request a quote and we’ll confirm access.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the type, condition, grade and how far the container travels to you. See the conex price guide for what goes into a quote, or request a quote for a delivered price.
