10 ft shipping containers
A 10 footer is the smallest common container. It fits where a bigger box won't, like a narrow side yard, a spot behind a store, or a small job site.

Good for
- Seasonal gear, yard equipment and a few pieces of furniture
- Tools and materials on a small job or remodel
- Tight lots where a 20 ft won't fit or can't be delivered
Watch for
- Most 10s are cut down from a longer container, so build quality depends on who did the work. Ask how it was made.
- There are fewer of them around, so price per foot is often higher than a 20.
- You still need room for the truck, even though the box is short.
