Specifications

20ft Container Dimensions & Details

The 20ft standard container, sometimes called a TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) or a conex box, is the global standard in intermodal shipping.

At 20 feet long and 8 feet wide it fits in many driveways, as long as the delivery truck has the straight run and clearance it needs.

Condition Options

Used WWT or One-Trip: Which Is Right for You?

Used Wind & Water Tight (WWT)

Structurally sound and guaranteed not to leak. It shows the cosmetic wear you would expect from a container that spent years in commercial shipping service: surface rust, paint chips, minor dents. The interior stays dry, the doors seal tight, and the floor is structurally solid. For a full breakdown of every grade we sell, see our container condition guide. Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.

Best for: General storage, construction sites, farm use, any application where appearance matters less than value.

Warranty: 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak. Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.

One-Trip (Like New)

It made a single ocean crossing from the factory and is essentially brand new. Minimal cosmetic marks from that one voyage, clean and dry interior, excellent floor condition, like-new paint. It costs more than used WWT and is the cleanest grade sold.

Best for: Conversions, food-adjacent storage, sensitive storage, anyone who wants the best-looking unit.

Warranty: 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak. Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.

Use Cases

Ways to Use a 20ft Container in Virginia

Renovations in Richmond's intown neighborhoods, where lots in the Fan, Church Hill, Jackson Ward and Oregon Hill are narrow, the alley is the working access and there is rarely a garage to empty into.

Contractor tool and material storage on job sites across Henrico, Chesterfield, Loudoun, Prince William and the Hampton Roads cities, replacing the daily load in and load out.

Household and deployment storage around Naval Station Norfolk, Oceana and Little Creek-Fort Story, where families can face a move or a deployment and want their own timeline rather than a storage facility's.

Farm, timber and hunting tract storage across the Southside and the southeastern counties, where a container can be the only lockable building on the parcel.

Sites that cannot take a 40ft: two 20ft boxes place in a Richmond alley or up a Southwest Virginia hollow and give you two doors and two locations.

Waterfront and marina properties on the Eastern Shore, the Northern Neck and around the Bay, where steel and a good lock suit a salt air setting.

FAQ

20ft Container Questions

Delivery requires 110 feet of straight, unobstructed space, at least 15 feet of height for the truck to drive in and 22 feet of height along the entire unloading path, and at least 10 feet of width.
Wind and Water Tight units start at $2,067 delivered in Norfolk. What you pay depends on the grade you choose, on what is in stock when you order and on your delivery address. Container One sets prices, and they change without notice; your written quote gives the price for your order, including delivery to your address. Prices as of October 13, 2026.
Warranty runs by grade: one-trip units carry a 10 year structural and 10 year no-leak warranty, cargo worthy and wind and water tight units carry a 5 year structural and 5 year no-leak warranty, and economy units carry a 1 year roof leak warranty. Container One provides the warranty. Written warranty terms.
Set the container on solid bearing at the four corner castings rather than straight onto turf. Pressure treated timbers, concrete blocks or a compacted gravel pad under each corner keeps the box level, keeps the doors square and keeps the wood floor out of standing water. Grade so surface water runs away from the corners rather than under them.
