Metro Container sells and rents steel storage containers to homes, ranches, and businesses in Caldwell and across Burleson County. We stock 10, 20, and 40 ft units. We deliver them straight up Highway 36 from our Brenham yard, about 33 miles south. You get a real local supplier, not a call center that ships from three states away.

Buy or Rent a Shipping Container in Caldwell

You can buy a container outright or rent one by the month. Both come wind and water tight, with cargo doors and a lockable design.

Buying makes sense when the need is permanent. Ranch equipment, feed, tools, and inventory all need a dry, secure home that pays for itself over the years. Once the unit is on your pad, it is yours to keep, move, or modify.

Renting makes sense for short jobs. A construction site, harvest season, a home remodel, or a few months of overflow rarely justify a purchase. You pay monthly, we deliver and pick up, and you return it when the job ends.

Container Sizes: 10, 20, and 40 ft

Size comes down to how much you store and how much room you have to place the unit.

• 10 ft containers fit tight lots and small loads. Good for a homeowner, a small shop, or a secure box near the work. See our 10 ft containers.
• 20 ft containers are the workhorse. At about 160 square feet, they hold a small household or a full set of ranch and shop gear. Browse 20 ft standard containers.
• 40 ft containers give the most room per dollar for large equipment, bulk inventory, and commercial storage. Need height? A 40 ft high cube adds a foot of interior clearance for tall loads.

Longer 45 ft units and specialty builds like double doors and open sides are available too. Ask what is on the ground now.

New, Used, and Refurbished Containers

Condition sets both the price and the look.

• One-trip units have made a single voyage and arrive near spotless, best when appearance matters or you plan to modify. See one-trip containers.
• Used cargo-worthy units are older, still certified wind and water tight, and cost less, the practical pick for plain storage. Browse used cargo-worthy containers.
• Refurbished units are used containers we clean up and recondition for long-term use. See refurbished containers.

Every unit we sell is steel, weatherproof, and built to sit outside through Texas heat, hail, and storms.

What Caldwell Businesses and Landowners Use Containers For

Caldwell sits in ranch and farm country, and most of our local jobs reflect that.

• Ranch and farm storage keeps hay, feed, fencing, tack, and tools dry and locked, away from rodents and weather.
• Equipment storage fits tractors, attachments, ATVs, and shop gear inside a 40 ft unit with room to work.
• Oilfield and job sites use containers to hold pipe, parts, and tools on a lease, then move them to the next site.
• Business and retail on and around the courthouse square gain stock and record storage without renting more building.
• Home projects stay on track when a rented container keeps furniture and materials safe during a remodel or build.

If your use is on this list, we have placed one like it nearby.

Container Delivery to Caldwell and Burleson County

We deliver on a tilt-bed truck that sets the container on the ground. A standard drop needs no crane.

Plan for space. The truck needs a clear, straight path and room to back in and tilt the box off. For a 20 ft unit, allow about 60 ft of straight clearance. A 40 ft unit needs closer to 100 ft. Firm, level ground works best. On rural property, a gravel or compacted pad keeps the doors square and the floor dry.

Highway 36 runs straight from our Brenham yard through Somerville to Caldwell, so delivery is quick and freight stays low. We also reach the smaller communities around the county seat, including Somerville, Snook, Lyons, and Deanville.

Custom Container Modifications

A container does more than store. Our shop turns standard boxes into working spaces.

• An office container becomes a job-site or ranch office, in half or full layouts.
• A roll-up door adds quick, garage-style access.
• Vents and a man door cut heat and add a walk-in entrance.
• A climate-controlled unit uses spray-foam insulation and AC for anything sensitive to heat or humidity.

See the full range on our container modifications page, or describe the build and we will quote it.

Why Buy from a Local Texas Supplier

Search “storage containers Caldwell TX” and most results come from national brokers with no yard near you. They match you to whoever is closest, mark up the price, and ship from another metro.

Metro Container works differently. We have sold and rented containers since 2006. We keep 500-plus units on the ground in Brenham, and we run our own delivery. You talk to the same people who load your unit and set it on your property. That is why customers across Washington and Burleson counties come back for a second box.

Caldwell Storage Container FAQ

How much does a storage container cost in Caldwell?

Price depends on size, condition, and whether you buy or rent. A used 20 ft box costs less than a one-trip 40 ft high cube, and rentals are billed monthly. Call for a firm number on current stock.

How much room do I need for delivery?

Allow about 60 ft of straight clearance for a 20 ft container and about 100 ft for a 40 ft. The ground should be firm and reasonably level.

Are used containers still watertight?

Yes. Our used units are cargo-worthy, which means they are certified wind and water tight. We do not sell leakers.

How fast can I get one?

Stock units often deliver within a few days. Call to confirm current inventory and the next open delivery slot.

Do I need a permit?

Rules vary by property and use. Most rural placements do not need one. But check with the county or city if the container is permanent or sits near a road. We can share what other Caldwell customers have done.
