Exploring the Different Sizes and Dimensions of Flat Pack Containers

Flat pack containers are providing homes and businesses across the UK with the unique opportunity to make more practical and versatile use of the outdoor space they have available. More flexible than a conventional shipping container and far more cost-effective than a conventional extension, flat pack containers can be used for almost any purpose required, permanently or temporarily.

For maximum convenience, flat pack containers can be procured in a broad range of sizes, from 2.25 m to 6 m in length, each bringing unique functionality and benefits to cater to diverse needs. In addition, each of the size options available opens the door to limitless options for customisation and personalisation, including the positioning of windows and doors, the incorporation of security features, and so on.

While a container of any size can be used for a limitless range of practical applications, the following are just a few examples of popular uses for our best-selling flat pack container sizes:

2.25M Flat Pack containers

Our smallest offering in the flat pack container range, the 2.25M variant, is a compact yet potent storage solution suitable for domestic and commercial applications alike. These containers can be used as a garden shed, portable on-site storage for equipment, or even a tool shed for DIY enthusiasts. As they can quickly be assembled and disassembled, these containers can serve as both temporary and permanent fixtures, accommodating just about anything. The convenience and versatility make these containers the perfect solution for compact storage needs.

3M Flat Pack containers

A perfect alternative to a traditional 10-foot shipping container, the 3M flat pack units offer the added benefit of easy assembly and disassembly. They are excellent for storing large items such as quad bikes, motorcycles, or even serving as a robust garden shed. Their flexible configurations support a variety of security and shelving add-ons, making customization a breeze. The capacity of our 3M flat pack containers opens up new realms of possibilities in terms of storage and utility.

The benefits of modular construction
