Beyond Sheds: Why More Homeowners Are Choosing Storage Containers for Backyard Needs

Side by side view of traditional backyard shed versus steel container

Smarter than a shed. Easier than a garage. Delivered right to your driveway.


Thinking about adding a shed? You’re not alone. When storage gets tight, most homeowners start eyeing the backyard, the side yard, or wherever they might be able to squeeze in a structure.

But what if you didn’t have to pour a foundation, fight with permits, or assemble 200 pieces of “easy” hardware in the middle of mud season?

That’s why more homeowners across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts are choosing portable storage containers instead. Clean, secure, and delivered when you need it, these steel boxes are a game-changer for seasonal storage, home projects, and all the stuff your garage just can’t hold anymore.

Why Portable Containers Make So Much Sense

Compared to prefab sheds or permanent outbuildings, portable storage containers offer:

  • Instant space – no permits, no pouring, no power tools required
  • All-weather protection against snow, rain, and humidity
  • Flexible rental terms – keep it for a few months or a few years
  • Driveway-friendly delivery that doesn’t tear up your lawn

And let’s be honest – plastic sheds warp, wood ones rot, and neither is rodent-proof.

Our steel containers are built to survive New England winters and curious raccoons.

What Homeowners Are Using Them For

Garage Overflow
Snowblower, lawnmower, bikes, bins – you name it. Free up garage space without giving up the garage.

Seasonal Swaps
Pack away patio furniture, gardening gear, decorations, and winter tires when the season changes (and find them exactly where you left them later).

DIY & Home Projects
Renovating your kitchen? Tiling the bathroom? Store your supplies, tools, and temporarily displaced furniture without turning your guest room into a tool shed.

Moving or Downsizing
A portable container is a lifesaver when you’re in between places or just not quite ready to make the “what stays and what goes” decisions.

Why Homeowners Are Skipping the Shed

Our containers come with:

  • 20-foot steel construction that fits most driveways
  • Secure swing doors with heavy-duty locking
  • Dry, rodent-resistant interiors
  • Fast drop-off and pickup on your schedule
  • Local customer service (yes, a real person answers the phone)

And no, you don’t have to commit to a long-term rental. Month-to-month works just fine.

Shed? Nah. Go with the Container.

Whether you’re decluttering for spring, in the middle of a renovation, or just over tripping on the snowblower, a portable container can give you the extra space you need, without the extra headache.
