Shipping containers are available in various sizes, with the most common being 20 feet and 40 feet long. The width and height of a standard container are around 8 feet and 8 feet 6 inches, respectively. High cube containers have an added foot of height, measuring approximately 9 feet 6 inches tall.

The floor of a shipping container is commonly a 1-1/8 inch thick marine plywood. This particular type of plywood is specially designed to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments, ensuring durability and strength. However, it is worth noting that certain containers may feature alternative flooring materials like bamboo, vinyl, or even steel.

How do I know the container is weather-tight? A weather-tight container keeps rain, wind, and moisture out so your belongings stay dry and protected. We inspect every container to make sure: Door seals are intact and seal tightly There are no holes or rust through the walls The roof is solid with no leaks Doors close and lock properly The interior is dry with no signs of water damage If you want extra peace of mind, you can also do a simple “light test.” Close the doors during the day and check for any light coming through — if no light gets in, neither will water. At 615 Container Depot, we only deliver containers that meet our weather-tight standards so your contents stay protected in any weather.
