One size, one price: an 8×10 steel cargo container for $70 a month. Ground level, drive-up, your lock on the door, and a keypad gate that works at any hour.
What you are actually renting
A shipping container is a steel box built to cross an ocean on a ship's deck. Corrugated steel walls, a plywood floor on steel cross-members, and double doors with a rubber gasket that seals when you throw the handles. It was designed to keep cargo dry through a North Atlantic winter, which makes keeping a Tennessee rainstorm off your furniture a fairly low bar.
Compare that to the sheet-metal shed most people try first. A shed has thin panels, a floor that sits on the ground, and seams that open up as it settles. Water finds those seams. So do mice. A container has no seams to find, sits up on blocks, and weighs enough that wind is not part of the conversation.
Sizing it against the thing you own
Eighty square feet is more useful than the number sounds, because you get the full height. A few honest reference points from what people actually put in ours:
- A one-bedroom's worth of household goods. Sofa, bed, dresser, table, appliances, and boxes stacked along both walls with a lane down the centre.
- A cleared-out two-car garage. Mower, workbench, tool chests, shelving, and the bins that were in the rafters.
- A renovation, staged. Everything out of two rooms while floors go in, then back out again a month later.
- Job-site tools and materials. Common for contractors working around Huntsville and Oneida who would rather not leave a trailer loaded overnight.
- Seasonal business inventory. Shop overflow, event equipment, off-season stock.
What does not belong in one: anything that has to stay at a steady temperature, anything flammable or hazardous, and anything alive. If you are unsure which side of that line your thing falls on, call before you rent — +1-423-223-5030.

No climate control, and we say so
Plenty of facilities charge a premium for a phrase. We rent a dry steel box at a flat rate and let you decide whether that fits what you own.
Where renters drive in from
The lot sits on the US-27 corridor, which is the spine of Scott County. Every town below is a straight run in — each page has the mileage, the drive time, and the turns.
Container questions
How much fits in an 8×10 container?
Eighty square feet of floor and roughly eight feet of height. In practice that is a one-bedroom apartment, or a garage cleared out — appliances, a mattress set, boxes stacked to shoulder height, and a walking lane down the middle.
Whose lock goes on the door?
Yours. Bring your own padlock and you hold the only key. We do not keep a copy and we do not need access to your container.
Are the containers climate controlled?
No. They are steel cargo containers — sealed against rain, wind, and pests, but not heated or cooled. Anything that genuinely cannot take a temperature swing should not go in one, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than after you have rented.
Can I drive right up to the door?
Yes. The containers sit at ground level on an open lot, so you back a truck or trailer to the doors and unload straight in. No stairs, no elevator, no corridor to carry a couch down.
What is the minimum rental?
Month to month. There is no annual contract. Review the Policies & Terms page for the 48-hour cancellation window and the non-refundable fee terms before you sign up.
