We don’t need to tell Canberra folk about how shipping containers can be used for a whole range of different things, because Australia’s capital city is way ahead of the rest! Westside Acton Park’s shipping container village on Lake Burley Griffin shows what can be done with a few steel boxes and some great imagination. If you want to join in the fun and have a go at converting a shipping container into a portable home, café or pop-up shop yourself, we have a range of used containers in Canberra at a great price just waiting to be converted into something special.

We also have a range of ready-made shipping container accommodations that can add a whole extra element to your house or home. Need an extra bedroom? Don’t extend – just ship in a shipping container! Want an office or granny flat or outdoor room? You can easily turn a little plot of your backyard property into a whole new living space with a shipping container.

Moving House? Why Not Use a Shipping Container?

A shipping container in the back yard or on your property is also a great storage solution. Whether you just need somewhere to store extra things, or want to pack your house to rent out while you go travelling around Australia or overseas, a shipping container can be a really cost effective option. And if you’re moving, our ‘Load Your Own’ Service makes things really easy.

Shipping Containers Canberra

If you’re confident you want your shipping container in Canberra to come from us, don’t hesitate to get in touch. In the meantime, we’re going to run through innovative ways you can use your Canberra shipping container for your home or business.

Shipping Containers For Canberra Residents

In recent years, those who crave smaller living spaces have begun using shipping containers as homes. By combining a number of containers together, dividing areas, and installing features such as solar panels and sliding glass doors, this is an excellent way to take a unique approach to small space living.

Other ways you can use a shipping container as a Canberra resident include:

Creating a Workshop or Office

If your house doesn’t have enough space for an office or workshop, try one of our shipping containers. To make this possible, Port Shipping Containers Canberra can install features such as:

  • Sturdy shelving that is ideal for holding heavy goods and storing files
  • Room divisions that allow you to create separate spaces
  • Locks, which will help you keep your office or workshop secure
  • Windows so you don’t have to work without natural light

Shipping Containers for Canberra Businesses

Unique Marketing Opportunities

If you want to focus on your offline marketing activities, you can hire or buy one of our shipping containers in Canberra and turn it into a portable billboard. Doing this has several advantages over using a traditional billboard:

  • It’s more cost-effective
  • You can move the sign to a location of your choosing
  • You can use the container as a storage space, maximising your budget in the process

Whether you’re a Canberra resident or business owner, we’re happy to work with you to maximise your container’s potential. Port Shipping Containers Canberra provide both hiring and purchasing options; just contact us to find out more.
