Self Storage Containers for Sale — 20ft Bamboo Floor (Blue RAL 5010)
Looking for self storage containers for sale that you own outright — not rent month after month? This is exactly what you need. The 20ft Self Storage Container with Bamboo Floor in striking Blue (RAL 5010) gives you secure, lockable, weatherproof storage on your own property — permanently. Moreover, the bamboo floor provides a clean, durable surface that’s significantly more comfortable to walk and work on than a standard steel floor. Furthermore, it ships directly from our inventory to your property across Tennessee and surrounding states with fast delivery and no hidden fees.
In fact, portable self storage containers for sale like this one eliminate the single biggest drawback of traditional self storage facilities — the endless monthly rental fees that never stop and never build equity.
Self Storage Container for Sale vs Renting a Storage Unit
Most people default to renting a unit at a self storage facility. However, a self storage container for sale changes the entire economics of storage. Therefore, here is a direct comparison:
| Rented Storage Unit | Self Storage Container (Owned) | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Ongoing — forever | $0 after purchase |
| Location | Facility — drive to access | Your property — instant access |
| Access hours | Limited to facility hours | 24/7 — it’s yours |
| Long-term cost | Increases over time | Fixed — one-time purchase |
| Resale value | None | Retains value — can be resold |
Specifically, a typical 10×20 storage unit rental in Tennessee costs $100–$180 per month. Consequently, after just 18–24 months, you would have paid more in rent than the cost of owning a self storage container outright — with nothing to show for it. In contrast, this container remains yours, on your property, accessible anytime, for as long as you need it.

Why Bamboo Floor Matters for Self Storage Containers
Standard shipping containers typically feature a plywood or hardwood floor. In contrast, this self storage container features a bamboo floor — a material increasingly favored for self storage applications. Specifically, bamboo offers three practical advantages.
First, bamboo is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than standard plywood. Therefore, moving furniture, boxes, and equipment in and out causes less wear over time. Second, bamboo has natural moisture resistance — reducing the risk of warping or rot in Tennessee’s humid summers. Third, bamboo presents a clean, attractive surface — making this unit equally suitable as personal storage, a workshop floor, or even a starting point for a light conversion project.
Furthermore, the combination of bamboo floor and the bold blue exterior makes this self storage container for sale stand out from the typical grey or brown units commonly seen on residential properties.
Portable Self Storage Containers for Sale — Who Is This Product For?
Portable self storage containers for sale attract a wide range of buyers across Tennessee who are tired of paying rent for storage they could own outright. In fact, here are the most common use cases:
- Homeowners — permanent on-property storage for seasonal items, furniture, sporting equipment, and household overflow — accessible 24/7 without driving to a facility
- Small businesses — secure inventory and equipment storage on-site, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of an off-site rented unit
- Contractors and tradespeople — a lockable, weatherproof base for tools and materials that moves between job sites as needed
- Families during a move or renovation — temporary storage on the driveway during transitions, with the option to resell once no longer needed
- Landlords and property managers — additional tenant storage options at rental properties without ongoing facility lease costs
- Farm and rural property owners — secure equipment and supply storage across Tennessee’s agricultural counties
Self Storage 5×10 vs 20ft — Which Size Do You Need?
Some buyers search specifically for self storage 5×10 containers for sale — a size commonly associated with small rental storage units. However, a standard 5×10 footprint (50 square feet) is significantly smaller than even our smallest container. Therefore, here is how the sizes compare:
| Size | Footprint | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical rented 5×10 unit | 50 sq ft | ~450 cu ft | Small household overflow |
| 10ft Container | 80 sq ft | ~600 cu ft | Compact personal storage |
| 20ft Self Storage Container | 160 sq ft | 1,170 cu ft | Significant storage — garage equivalent |
In fact, our 20ft self storage container provides more than double the capacity of a typical rented 5×10 unit — while costing the same as roughly 18–24 months of rental fees. Consequently, for anyone who anticipates needing storage for more than 2 years, owning a 20ft unit is the clearly superior financial decision. If a smaller footprint is preferred, browse our 10ft containers starting from $1,500.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to buy a self storage container than rent a unit?
Yes for most buyers. A typical rented 10×20 storage unit in Tennessee costs $100–$180 per month. Therefore, after 18–24 months, rental fees exceed the cost of owning a self storage container outright. Furthermore, an owned container retains resale value, while rental payments are gone permanently.
What is a self storage container with bamboo floor?
A self storage container with bamboo floor features a bamboo surface instead of standard plywood. Specifically, bamboo is harder, more scratch-resistant, and more moisture-resistant — making it ideal for frequent loading, unloading, and Tennessee’s humid climate.
Do I need a permit for a self storage container in Tennessee?
In most Tennessee counties, a permit is required if the container remains on your property permanently. However, requirements vary by county and use case. For Nashville specifically, visit the Metro Nashville Codes Administration to confirm requirements for your property.
How secure is a self storage container?
This self storage container includes a factory-fitted lockbox compatible with standard padlocks, plus hinged double doors with locking bars. Furthermore, the steel construction provides significantly stronger security than typical fencing or sheds — making it a popular choice for valuable tools, equipment, and inventory.
