Budget Shipping Containers Creates Bespoke 20ft Office and Firework Storage Solution in Hampshire

Budget Shipping Containers has completed a bespoke shipping container conversion for a firework company in Hampshire, supplying a 20ft container office alongside additional container storage.

The customer required a practical office that could also provide storage space, with the specification adapted to suit both the intended use and available budget. A separate 40ft shipping container was also supplied specifically for storage, incorporating condensation treatment to help maintain dry conditions.

A Cost-Effective 20ft Shipping Container Office

For the main office, the customer selected one of Budget Shipping Containers' basic 20ft office container conversions, manufactured from a refurbished used shipping container.

Used containers can show signs of their previous working life, including dents and surface marks, but repainting provides a cost-effective way to improve their overall appearance. For this project, the container was repainted in RAL 6003 to coordinate with other units already located on the customer's site.

The conversion included insulation and plywood lining together with a personnel door and window.

As the customer did not require a full electrical installation for this particular mixed-use office and storage application, the standard electrical elements were omitted, helping to reduce the overall conversion cost.

Basic or Premium Container Offices

Budget Shipping Containers offers both basic and premium office container options depending on the intended application and budget.

Basic office conversions can be produced from used shipping containers, providing a practical choice where appearance is less important or the unit will be positioned away from customer-facing areas.

For businesses requiring a smarter external appearance, premium office containers can instead be manufactured from one-trip shipping containers. Having typically completed only their original journey from the manufacturing facility, these containers generally have considerably fewer dents and signs of wear than used units.

This can make the premium specification particularly suitable for offices positioned in prominent locations or areas regularly seen by customers and visitors.

Bespoke Shipping Container Conversions

One of the advantages of converting shipping containers into offices is the ability to tailor the specification to the individual site.

Budget Shipping Containers has standard specifications for its office conversions but can adapt these according to customer requirements and budget.

Options can include different paint colours, external cladding, additional personnel doors and extra windows, alongside insulation, lining, lighting and electrical installations.

This made it possible for the Hampshire customer to choose a relatively straightforward specification and exclude features that were unnecessary for the intended application.

Additional 40ft Container for Firework Storage

Alongside the 20ft office and storage unit, the customer ordered a 40ft shipping container for dedicated storage.

Keeping the interior dry was an important consideration for the customer. While the insulated construction of the office helps reduce condensation, a different approach was selected for the dedicated storage container.

The 40ft unit was treated with Grafo-Therm condensation treatment, which is applied to the inside of the container roof. The coating is designed to absorb condensation that can otherwise form on the ceiling of a steel shipping container, helping prevent moisture from dripping onto stored contents.

This provided the customer with a practical condensation-control solution without requiring the 40ft storage container to receive the same full insulation and lining specification as the office.

Shipping Containers Built Around Customer Requirements

The Hampshire project demonstrates how Budget Shipping Containers can adapt standard containers for a combination of office and specialist storage requirements.

From cost-effective conversions using refurbished containers to premium offices based on one-trip units, specifications can be adapted according to the intended use, site, appearance and available budget.
