bodie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm living in the Charente near Aigre. I'm looking for a second hand shipping container (steel) to buy and have delivered to my home. Size 20'x8'. Do any readers know of anywhere near me that sells and delivers these containers please? Many thanksBodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postie Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We also looked for a container some time ago & had no luck on the Forum. A friend found a place that MAY supply them in Fontenay le Compte, La Vendee. I've got no details & 'cause we gave up on the idea. Have sent you a pm with her number.Mrs Postie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have suggested in the past trying a scrap yard or commercial vehicle dealers for an old trailor from an articulated lorry. You need to build steps up to it but probably easier to dispose of when the build is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postie Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi AntonYes, I seem to remember your suggestion - but like the container, finding a supplier was the problem. A very good idea of yours 'cause an ex-refrigerated truck body would have been perfect for summer & winter. Could even be used as a small workshop or garden shed. Now that we live in France I might persue it further & if I find something I'll post it on the Forum.Postie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We have got the back end of an old lorry as storage whilst our barn rebuild continues. Very useful, plus its light enough to shift about (when empty of course) as necessary. Our neighbour found it for us - cost 100 euros which is quite reasonable - probably worth more than that in aluminium scrap alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This place http://www.pjmselfstorage.com/ used to offer containers for sale in France, and would deliver them. There are plenty of places in England that sell them too, and, by definition, transport will not be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
