Flat Pack Home Office & Storage Containers?

[Jamie Jones]

Having the age old problem that everyone in this business has when working from home. The home office is taking over the house and I have run out of storage space in the garage..

I have been looking at Flat Pack Containers (Standard & Insulated) and Flat Pack Container Offices. of the approximate size of 2mx4m that I can put up in the garden.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the flat pack container and offices?

The plus point is they are reasonable secure and if you need to relocate them they are easy to disassemble.from the inside.
I have already checked an planing is not an issue.

•Flat Pack Containers (Standard)

- Breathable buy would be be very hot in the summer and cold in the winter. So the effect of this on kit with fuel in them and condensation might be an issue.

•Flat Pack Containers (Insulated) 

- As secure as the standard container and hopefully removes the condensation and the extreme temperature issues.

•Flat Pack Container Offices.

- I would split the space 50/50 between office/paperwork on one side and hand tools/equipment (Chainsaws, Strimmers & Hedge Trimmers etc)

I've only ever seen them in photos, I can't imagine they're anywhere as strong as a shipping container? And won't have the same resale value?

 

Have you got the space to get a lorry round into the garden? If so, get a normal get container on a hiab?

Sadly I can't get a lorry around to the garden, so it would have to be delivered to the front and walked around...If I move these can be disassembled from the inside and relocated. If I eventually get a bigger unit in the form of an agricultural metal building I could use this inside as a second level security.

Not as good as a shipping container far better than a wooden shed wouldn’t mix office and tools get two you can write of against tax would also alarm them
