Metro Container rents custom shipping containers in Brenham, TX, built to fit the job. A rental unit does not have to be a plain steel box. We cut doors, add windows, wire in power, and turn containers into offices, bunkhouses, and climate-controlled rooms.

We do all our own container fabrication in our Brenham shop. No subcontractors. Since 2006, we have rented and built containers for construction crews, farms, shops, and homes across Brenham, Houston, and the surrounding area.

What We Build Into Custom Rental Containers

We customize rental units, not only the ones you buy. Here is what we can add:

• Rent a 20ft portable office container for a small crew, or a 40ft office container with more room. Offices come insulated, with LED lighting, plenty of plugs, AC, and an exterior breaker box. We build them from one-trip containers.
• House remote crews in a bunkhouse container on long jobs.
• Protect heat-sensitive goods in a climate-controlled container. Each one gets 2 inches of closed-cell spray foam and an AC unit, and plugs into a standard outlet with a 50-foot cord.
• Load faster with roll-up doors, side-door openings, double doors, or a walk-in man door.
• Secure your gear with lock boxes and heavy-duty puck locks.
• Add airflow with vents and daylight with windows.

Need something off this list? We have built control rooms and scale labs too. Tell us the idea, and we will spec it.

Here is one job in detail. R.E.C. Industries came to us for storage and workspace. We fabricated a finished-out office with storage from a 40-foot container, and supplied one-trip storage units alongside it. Read the note from Dewayne Luman on his customer story.

Container Rental Sizes, Dimensions, and Terms

Rent by the size of the job, not a fixed package. We keep 500+ units in our Brenham yard in three common sizes:

• 10ft: 10 ft long, 8 ft wide, 8 ft 6 in tall. Good for tight spaces and small loads. See 10ft rentals.
• 20ft: 20 ft long, 8 ft wide, 8 ft 6 in tall. Our most popular size for job sites and business storage. See 20ft rentals.
• 40ft: 40 ft long, 8 ft wide, 8 ft 6 in tall. High-cube units add a foot of height. See 40ft rentals.

Rentals run on a one-month minimum, and we discount long-term agreements. Every unit arrives clean, painted, and fitted with a lock box. In most cases, we deliver within 24 to 48 hours. See how drop-off and pickup work on our delivery process page.
