i’m being moved out of my workshop/shed/bikestore and am thinking of getting an old 40-45ft trailer to use as a replacement.
i don’t need anything fancy, just dry and secure.
i thought about a shipping container but they’re expensive and dark inside.
so does anyone know of someone in the southwest who would have something suitable?
cheers, mucker85
what about an old racing car transporter trailer, most of the hard work is done; electrics, plumbing, living area
and a large workshop,
something like this

thanks guys, now to find somewhere to put it.
There was a company in West Brom/Wolverhampton area doing containers for £600 each last year, I know as I helped get them in there.

well they used to be anyroad
could find them in the back of the auto trader and those kina mags
but scrap is fetching a good price (hello coffe holic from loard screaming scrap) now so they will have gone up
how much dose a shipping container weigh?

the thing is finding a farmer who will sell you a very very small plot of land to do what you want with and no come back at him
Dont know about now but a good acre of grazing agricultural land used to cost 6 grand
but you would be hard to find a farmer or land auction that would sell such a small plot

Conor, you can’t be trying very hard my friend, just done a google search and the first one I see 400 quid for a 40 ft container, 0800 061 2575 Containers Direct.
And don’t worry about a crane to get it off. I saw one delivered to a building site in the summer - they chained it to a tree and drove the truck forward until it dropped off.

Thats what i’d be looking at. Them parcelforce/royal mail trailers all tend to have thin opaque fibre glass roofs, that let in the light too.
