you cannot make a container secure, all you can do is slow down someones entry, or make it so akward they go somwhere else, with the availability of battery powered grinders, portable cutting gear, and hydraulic rescue kit, anything steel is an invitation to try and find out whats stored inside. most containers have wooden floors as well. If you need to secure it i sugest you use 9" concrete blocks and build a wall right round it, extending past the front, cover the roof with a concrete pour incorporating weldmesh, and fit a seperate door on the front. these days if some one wants your stuff, there going to get it unless you watch it 24/7..........and pc plod doesnt give a monkey about you, unless he can make money out of you
