Anyone know where I can find one of those big, metal shipping containers?

Some people actually convert those things into homes, but I'm seeking a solid storage solution on the cheap.

Thanks!

It probably depends on your definition of cheap, but those shipping containers can be pricey as a storage solution, not to mention delivery and your/someone's set up costs, either monetary or physical labor.

Default Shipping container found!

There happens to be a place on Gov. John Sevier Hwy that sells 20 and 40 foot shipping containers for ~$3,000 for either size.

I have a guy re-grading my lot and he happened to know of this place.

It is on John Sevier Hwy kinda near Strawberry Planes Road.... just look for a bunch of shipping containers inside a chain link fence.... it's not far from Asheville Hwy.

Cool!...and it's very close (I live on the east side of Knoxville)

Keep in mind, if you're gonna want a man-door, lock assembly, and delivery you'll probably still wind up around $4k.
