Self Storage Containers in Thanet
Boxed Up Studios and Storage provides secure, insulated 20ft shipping containers for household and business storage in St Peter's, Broadstairs. Our facility serves customers throughout Thanet, including Margate, Ramsgate and Manston.
Whether you are moving house, clearing a room, storing furniture or need additional space for business stock and equipment, our containers provide private storage with convenient daily access.
20ft Insulated Storage Containers
Our standard storage containers are approximately 6 metres long and provide around 150 square feet of floor space.
Each container is thermally insulated and lined internally with OSB board. Insulation helps reduce temperature extremes and the risk of condensation, providing a better environment for furniture, household possessions, tools and business equipment.
Unlike traditional indoor self-storage facilities, each customer rents an individual shipping container. You have your own private storage space and can access your belongings during our normal opening hours.
