At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide it fits in many driveways, as long as the delivery truck has the straight run and clearance it needs.

Condition Options

Used WWT or One-Trip: Which Is Right for You?

Used Wind & Water Tight (WWT)

Inspected and certified to keep wind and water out. It shows the cosmetic wear you would expect from a container that spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. The interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a full breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide.

Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm use, any application where appearance matters less than value.

Warranty: 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak.

One-Trip (Like New)

It made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. It costs more than used WWT and is the cleanest grade sold.

Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, sensitive storage, anyone who wants the best-looking unit.

Warranty: 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak.

Use Cases

Ways to Use a 20ft Container in Washington

Remodels in Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane neighborhoods where the lots are narrow, the older houses have no garage and the real approach is the alley behind the house.

Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across King, Snohomish, Pierce and Spokane counties, replacing the daily load in and load out.

Farm, orchard and timber storage from the Palouse to the Skagit Valley, where a container can be the first lockable, dry structure on the parcel.

Marine and fishing gear at Fishermen's Terminal, Commencement Bay, Westport and Bellingham, where nets, line, totes and deck equipment come off the boats between seasons.

Sites that cannot take a 40ft: two 20ft boxes place on a hillside driveway or a plat cul-de-sac and give you two doors and two locations.

Household storage through a military move, a deployment or a rental gap around Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Naval Base Kitsap and Fairchild Air Force Base.

FAQ

20ft Container Questions

How much room does a 20ft delivery need? +

The container arrives on a tilt bed truck, which needs 110 feet of straight, level run measured back from where the container will sit, at least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path, with no low branches, utility lines or carport roofs in the path, and at least 10 feet of width. Describe your approach and your drop spot when you ask for a quote, so the site can be reviewed before anything is scheduled.

What does a 20ft container cost delivered in Washington? +

Wind and Water Tight units start at $2,889 delivered in Seattle. What you pay depends on the grade you choose, on what is in stock when you order and on the access at your site. Container One sets prices, and they change without notice; your written quote gives the price for your order, including delivery to your address. Prices as of 2026-08-06.

What warranty comes with it? +

Warranty runs by grade: one-trip units carry a 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak warranty, cargo worthy and wind and water tight units carry a 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak warranty, and economy units carry a 1 year roof leak warranty.

What should it sit on? +

Set the container on solid bearing at the four corner castings rather than straight onto turf. Pressure treated timbers, concrete blocks or a compacted gravel pad under each corner keeps the box level, keeps the doors square and keeps the wood floor out of standing water. Grade so surface water runs away from the corners rather than under them, and in the wet months lay plywood or timbers along the wheel path, because a loaded truck finds the soft spot in a lawn or a bark bed every time.
