Temporary is often fine
During a renovation or move, a short rental is usually the simplest route.
Rural lots differ
Acreages and agricultural land are often zoned differently from city lots.
We'll tell you honestly
Tell us your address — if we know your city doesn't allow it, we'll say so before you buy.
Which size?
A 20 ft is the usual choice for a yard: about 150 sq ft of floor space on a 20 × 8 ft footprint.
Tips before it arrives
- Look up your zoning (most cities have an online map) and the section on accessory buildings or storage containers.
- Ask whether a permanent container needs a building permit, cladding or screening.
- Measure access: our crane trucks can lift over a fence, but need a firm spot close by.
Permits and local rules
Surrey, for example, only allows containers on residential lots during construction under a building permit, and Kelowna requires a building permit and an enclosing accessory building for permanent residential use. Always confirm with your city before buying. This is general information, not legal advice.
We deliver on K2 Crane & Cartage's crane trucks, so the container is lifted off the truck and set exactly where it works best — over a fence or into a tight spot if needed.
