Why 20′ Containers Are So Popular (and Hard to Find)

Compact, secure, and easy to transport, the 20′ shipping container is the go-to choice for contractors, homeowners, businesses, and off-grid builders alike. Its smaller footprint makes it perfect for driveways, job sites, and seasonal properties across Atlantic Canada.

But there’s a catch supply is tight. Because containers don’t circulate through Atlantic ports in high volume, finding one when you actually need it can feel like chasing a moving target.

That’s where we come in.

At Sea Can Guys, we keep real inventory — not vague listings — in our local yards throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland. If it’s listed, it’s here. And it’s ready to go.

What You Get with Our 20′ Containers

Not all containers are created equal. Here’s what we guarantee:

  • Solid steel construction

  • Sealed against rain, snow, and coastal weather

  • Rodent-proof and secure — your contents stay safe

  • We grade every container before listing
  • You get interior and exterior photos
  • Ask for a video walk-through or book a yard visit anytime
  • External dimensions: 20′ L x 8′ W x 8′6″ H

  • Interior space: ~1,170 cubic feet

  • Fits in most driveways, behind garages, or on remote lots with ease

Whether you’re storing tools, staging a reno, building an office, or prepping for a seasonal shop, this container gets the job done without taking over your space.

No Hidden Delivery Fees  Just Clear, Local Pricing That Works

We’ve heard the stories: you find a good price, sign the deal, and then get hit with crane fees, driveway access charges, or fuel surcharges that double your total cost.

We don’t operate like that.

At Sea Can Guys, every quote is reviewed for your specific site and delivery path. That means:

  • We assess your access road, driveway space, and offload conditions

  • We determine whether you need tilt-deck or crane delivery

  • We include everything in your quote — no “extras” hiding behind fine print

And for island or remote locations (hello, Newfoundland), we’ve got a proven system to plan ferry logistics, staging, and weather windows.

Know Exactly What You’re Getting Every Container Verified

When we say a container is “used,” we tell you what that really means.

Every 20′ container we sell is:

  • Individually inspected and rated

  • Photographed in detail — inside, outside, flooring, doors

  • Available to view in-person or via video

  • Backed by our local storage yards — no phantom inventory or third-party brokers

We’ve built our reputation on trust — and we protect it by showing our work.

Delivered Where Others Can’t Across Atlantic Canada

It’s not just about selling containers. The real value is in getting them delivered and placed safely on your site.

That’s where our logistics shine:

  • We deliver to residential and commercial sites across NS, NB, PEI, and NL

  • Our drivers are pros at rural routes, ferry access, tight driveways, and elevation changes

You’ll never hear “that’ll be extra” after the fact.
