You may have noticed a few shiny new additions to Heathhall Business Centre on your travels because, last autumn, we launched Dumfries Storage Containers.

Whether you’re moving house, growing your business, or desperately need to get rid of that giant invisible clutter bug, know that shipping container storage is secure, weather-proof,  versatile, and now on your doorstep.

It’s like your own private attic minus the dust, cobwebs, and nasty loft ladders waiting to spring an attack at any moment. Our containers are spacious enough to keep your stuff separate, allowing everything room to breathe.

Storage container size

Our shipping containers come in a handy 20′ x 8 ‘size to accommodate all manner of belongings. This secure, affordable, and spacious storage has drive-up access, a secure fence, electric gates and external lighting. They’re ideal for personal storage and business storage use and offer all the flexibility of traditional storage with a little more wriggle room.

Walls of steel, lockable doors, and weatherproof design shut the world out. They’re built to last and ready to handle everything from bikes and furniture to business stock and renovation clutter.

Has someone moved in and space moved out?

Has someone new moved into your spare room or granny flat and bought way more than anybody anticipated?

Yes, you could get a shed for the overflow if the loft’s creaking under the strain, or you could do the right thing by a loved one’s belongings and investigate our container storage.

With Grafo-therm anti-condensation paint applied to your container, you can sleep easy knowing that their stuff will look as fresh as the day it went in!

The air and the spare

Our airy container pods boast ample room for storing spare furniture that’s getting under your feet or plain annoying you in the spare room. Or perhaps, like many of us nowadays, you’re downsizing but can’t decide which pieces to keep and which to sling.

We’re also heading into high-decorating season, and nobody wants a slashed Chesterfield or for that favourite painting to be wearing more paint.

The container’s the limit when it comes to what you can store. From dainty to bulky:  desks, bedside tables, occasional tables, office chairs, whiteboards, mirrors, bikes, to wardrobes, dining tables, beds, and sideboards.

You can store taller furniture upright and maximise the vertical space.

Stock, look, and listen

Are you a small business owner with stock spilling from every nook and cranny at home?  Are you always reaching for a paperweight instead of the peppermill?

Drowning in fitness equipment, tech gadgets, or beauty products?

Must be driving you up the wall.

Dumfries Storage Containers are a metallic miracle if any of these scenarios chime. Bedrooms weren’t meant to be stock rooms. Feng shui says you shouldn’t ideally have a clock near where you sleep, never mind reminders of your business scattered all around you when you’re trying to switch off.

Container storage comes into its own when boxes pile up, or for tools you only use on-site, or branded products/materials that you need access to only between events. It’s likewise more affordable and flexible than renting a traditional warehouse unit.

Hobby-daft

Hobbies are still a thing despite the digital drain on time. If your golf clubs, DJ decks, paddleboard, or model railway set threaten to end your relationship, never mind anything else, then it’s time to set sail on the good ship container.

Then there’s sports gear. The containers are spacious enough to be accessible for stuff that, while you might not use daily, still requires easy access.

Goodbye clutter, hello calm.

Guilty of season

Your shipping container storage is an excellent seasonal storage solution.

We have all the usual suspects like Christmas decorations (nobody wants to come across them in July), outdoor and paddling pools, patio furniture, BBQs, snow shovels, etc.

But what about Easter decorations (yes, they’re a thing), Halloween paraphernalia, books for study, mood boards, faded fashions you anticipate will come around again?

A secure trade

Do you work in construction, landscaping, or any trade that requires a lot of tools? They need protecting from the elements as much as grabbing hands.

Shipping container storage was made for you. It’s like a secure on-site locker. Doubly so, given that at Dumfries Storage Containers, we have CCTV and ANPR number plate recognition and over 50 cameras across Heathhall Business Centre.

You’ll have somewhere reliable to store ladders, cement mixers, drills, etc., without bringing it all home each night and dashing to the window when you hear a noise.

Vans and garden sheds don’t even come close to container storage.

Oven trips

Fridges, freezers, washing machines, and ovens can be stored in shipping containers if you’re between houses or about to have renovations, large or small.

Ensure they’re properly cleaned out, dried, and disconnected from water supplies. You might also want to raise them slightly off the floor and wrap them in plastic or keep them in their original packaging.

Paper weight

Have you lifted a box full of paperwork lately? They can weigh a ton and take up just as much room in your office/house. That’s why you need a container to ship yours away until you no longer have to keep it. You can organise your container with racking or shelving too, so that you know exactly where everything is.

Placing boxes inside plastic tubs affords extra protection, and labelling everything clearly is a great idea.

The rubble telescope 

When Lola Young decorates, it’s messy, and she’s not alone. You will need somewhere to store your belongings when you’re having renovations done.

Our shipping containers are great for storing all your valuables so that they don’t become casualties of your brand new kitchen, bathroom, loft extension etc.

Use our storage containers rather than cram them all in other rooms. You can then think about where to put everything post-renovations, because getting them out from under your feet gives you that telescope perspective that helps bring clarity.
