How Big is A 20’ High Cube Container for A Garage
When it comes to size, this has become one of the most asked questions. The dimension of a 20’ High Cube Container is 20’ L x 8’ W x 9.6’ H. With that size, one 20’ High Cube Container could carry two 9’ long cars or only 1 midsize car longer than 15’ such as a Toyota Corolla. If you would like to store motorbikes instead of cars, a 20’ High Cube container can fit 4 to 5 small motorbikes comfortably.
However, storing two cars inside one 20’ High Cube Container does not leave enough room to open the car door and get out once you have parked it in the container garage. Therefore, a single container without modifications is not practical for everyday parking. To make it bigger as an everyday garage, you will need to combine two or more containers into 1 and add some modifications.
Container Garage Establishment Guide
In building a garage using a 20’ High Cube Container, you need to follow the local regulations. Therefore, before starting the conversion process, it is recommended to research local policies or regulations and obtain any necessary permits as every state has its unique regulations. After the permit is issued, you can start the garage construction with this guide:
Choose and Prepare the Container
In building a garage you can buy a used container or a new one, depending on your personal needs. Both the used and new ones have their pros and cons. A used container is cheaper but it will have signs of wear and tear, while the new one is more expensive look. A brand-new container will cost you more but it will last you longer, more than 20+ years. If you go for a used container, just make sure rusting hasn’t set in and there are no cracks in the body.
After you choose your suitable container, start preparing the garage with:
- Insulate the High Cube Container Shipping Container to control the temperature inside and prevent your car from condensation
- Install the ventilation system to stop moisture build-up.
- Place a door or two to keep the weather out and your possessions in.
- Install electrical panels and wiring in containers as the power sources make it easy to store precious items.
- Add security features such as security lighting, cameras, alarms, and motion sensors.
Build a foundation
Your garage container needs a proper foundation to make it durable. If you plan to park your car inside the garage, a concrete slab foundation is preferable. However, there are also several different types of foundations that you might need to know, such as:
- Concrete slab foundation
- Concrete footing foundation
- Wooden beam foundation
- Steel pipe footing foundation
- Wooden Blocks
One thing to note, make sure to mark and clear the area accordingly before laying the foundation.
Style Your Garage
If you only need to park 1 car, you do not need to modify your container much. Meanwhile, if you would like to park a few vehicles, you can place two or more containers parallel to each other with a roof between them to provide plenty of space for parking multiple cars and storing other items.
Select A Suitable Garage Location
In selecting a garage location, you can try a clean level surface, away from other structures or dangerous areas such as water or power lines. A bumpy surface will only burden you in establishing or using your garage.
Put Some Accessories
You can put several accessories to perfect your garage. Give any modifications and put any accessories you want in your garage container. Here are some ideas on how to custom shipping container garage:
- Install a ramp to make it convenient to drive a car in and out of the garage.
- Build shelves to facilitate the placement of the goods.
- Build new flooring that’s more to your taste.
- Paint the ceiling and walls a new color.
- Install a dehumidifier to prevent dampness in your garage space.
