How to Design the Perfect Shipping Container Event Space
Step 1: Choose the Right Container Size
Container Size | Best For |
10ft Container | Small kiosks, ticket booths, VIP check-ins |
20ft Container | Pop-up bars, event lounges, mobile cafés |
40ft Container | Large-scale event spaces, concert venues, multi-unit setups |
Need something unique? We also provide custom-sized and modular container setups.
Step 2: Customize Your Event Space
A shipping container event space should be more than functional—it should be an experience. We offer:
✔ Custom bars & beverage stations for high-traffic festival setups.
✔ Lounge-style interiors with seating, lighting, and soundproofing.
✔ Portable kitchens & food service stations for food vendors.
✔ VIP suites & exclusive event spaces with private access.
✔ Interactive brand activations with fully wrapped exteriors.
Step 3: Plan for Placement & Permitting
Where you position your event space plays a huge role in its success. Here’s what to consider:
- Flat, stable ground—ensures easy setup and accessibility.
- Accessibility for guests—high-traffic locations like festivals, stadiums, and urban areas work best.
- Permitting requirements—some locations may require zoning approval for semi-permanent structures.
Sea Can Guys handles delivery and placement logistics so you can focus on your event.
