40 foot Standard Shipping Container – Corten Steel, Wind and Watertight

This 40 ft standard shipping container is constructed from Corten steel. Corten steel is a weathering steel that forms a protective rust layer when exposed to the elements, reducing long-term corrosion.

The container is rated wind and watertight, meaning the interior remains protected from rain, snow, and wind-driven moisture under normal weather conditions.

Exterior hinged double doors are located at the end of the container. Each door has two locking bars.

The flooring is 28mm plywood. Four vents are installed for airflow.
