There is a local company here that gives their shipping containers to their employees after being emptied. We obtained one from a friend. Not particularly attractive, but with a little imagination, it probably could be “spiffed” up. Haven’t had it long enough to use my imagination on it yet but it makes excellent space for storage of hay and shavings for our two miniature horses.

Oh boy! These can be a treasure trove!
They have been made into everything from housing to bomb shelters, hidden pantries, feed storage, chicken coops, workshops, and the imagination is the limit.
They are very sturdy - have to be to be able to have tons and tons stacked like they do.
Will have to look up some of the uses I have saved - somewhere... ;^)

That is wonderful, storage at the least.
They have made commercial rental storage units of them here, one set up has been renting for about 20 years, brought in 20 or 30 and set them on a vacant lot.
Are they strong enough to be buried in a hillside for a root cellar?
LOL, or just plain storage, would be good enough for me.
