Hello, community! I’m in the market for a shipping container for a new project I’m embarking on. I need something durable, versatile, and at a reasonable price. Does anyone have tips on what to look for when buying a container? Also, are there specific types that are better for modifications like adding windows or doors? Appreciate any guidance!

When buying a container, always check for the condition of the unit—look for any rust or structural damage. If you plan to modify it, make sure the steel is in good shape. Also, consider the delivery costs as they can vary greatly depending on your location.

Adding to the previous comment, you should decide whether you need a new or used container based on your budget and project requirements. For modifications, new containers might be easier to work with as they often require less initial repair work.
