Shipping Container Garages
Add to your functionality and storage space with a shipping container garage.
Have a shipping container or two? Need more space for your vehicles or storage? Convert existing shipping containers into a functional and secure working area using a SteelMaster steel shipping container roof kit.
The utility and versatility of a shipping container as a building is well known. They can be stacked and assembled to make houses, garages or storage sheds. However, depending on what you’re looking to store, you may need storage beyond a standard shipping container. These are the four basic options for creating a shipping container garage that fits your needs using a roofing system.
Although not as common, you can create a container cover garage with just one shipping container.
Our most popular option! With two container covers, you can place them anywhere between 10 and 60 feet apart and add steel roofing for shelter.
You can enclose both ends and add a garage door to your container cover structure.

The standard shipping container’s interior width is 7.8 feet, a height ranging between 7.3 and 7.8 feet, and lengths ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Most cars and trucks can fit inside a shipping container, but the fit may be a bit too snug with little extra space for most vehicles.
| Length (feet) | Width (feet) | Height (feet) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Sedan | 15 to 16.5 | 5.5 to 6 | 4.5 to 5 |
| Average Truck (Pickup) | 17.5 to 22 | 6 to 7 | 6 to 7 |
| Shipping Container | 20 to 40 | 8 | 8.5 |
A container cover roof garage offers significantly more usable space for storage and vehicle maneuverability compared to using just Conex boxes alone. The expanded area allows for easier access and better organization of items within your garage.

You can choose any garage width up to 60 feet and space the shipping containers accordingly.
With the shipping containers acting as a base, you can keep your garage simple, open-ended with dirt floors or have it resemble a more traditional garage with enclosed ends and a concrete foundation. The rest of the inside of the garage is up to you making it as finished as you need it to be.
