What fits in a 20ft storage container?

As a rough guide, one container can hold the contents of a moderately furnished three-bedroom home when packed efficiently. The illustration shows how mattresses, dismantled beds, a sofa, dining furniture, appliances and moving boxes can fit together.

How much room is there inside?

Our insulated, timber-lined containers measure approximately 5.8 m long × 2.3 m wide × 2.3 m high inside. Use these measurements to plan your load. If you have a particularly wide or tall item, ask us to check the door opening before you move it.

Will one container be enough?

How much you can fit depends on how you pack the container. Taking the legs off a table lets you store the top on its edge and frees up floor space. If you leave the table assembled, slide boxes underneath and use the tabletop for lighter boxes. Tuck smaller boxes between chair legs to make use of gaps that would otherwise go empty.

If you’ll need to get to anything during storage, keep it near the doors so you can reach it without unpacking the container.
