Extra headroom in the smallest practical footprint: that is the appeal of the 10ft High Cube shipping container. It shares the 2.99m (10ft) length and 2.44m (8ft) width of a standard 10ft unit, but stands 2.90m (9ft 6in) tall — a full 305mm (1ft) more, which makes a genuine difference when you are stacking pallets, storing tall equipment or planning a conversion that needs insulation and a ceiling without leaving you stooping. Built from premium Corten steel and fully wind and watertight, it is equally at home on a domestic driveway, a trade yard or a factory perimeter.

Ideal For
The 10ft High Cube suits householders storing furniture and garden machinery during a renovation, tradespeople who need a secure lock-up for tools and materials, and retailers holding seasonal stock off-site. The added height also makes it the sensible starting point for conversions — garden offices, gyms, workshops, bike stores and hospitality pods — because once you have added insulation, battens and a finished ceiling you still have comfortable standing room. Under most circumstances a container of this size sits well within a domestic garden or yard, though it is always worth checking permitted development limits with your local authority for long-term siting.
Delivery Across the UK
Delivery is available across mainland Britain and, on request, further afield. Most 10ft High Cubes travel on a tilt-bed lorry, which needs roughly the length of an articulated vehicle to manoeuvre and a firm base such as hardcore, concrete or paving slabs. If the standing is awkward, we can quote for a HIAB crane offload to lift the container over walls, fences or landscaping.
