Companies Save Time and Money

With the Port of Houston just minutes away, many local companies buy containers to import or export goods. These shipper-owned containers can be less costly and more practical for some shippers. 


Furthermore, we work with surveyors who can appropriately certify containers for ocean shipping. 


By owning your containers, your goods can be stored, sealed, and shipped overseas. Moreover, goods in sealed containers can be transported from their point of origin to their destination.


This saves money and time in two ways. First, no per diem charge is necessary when your container needs to remain at your facility or that of a customer. 


Second, it avoids the cost of unloading and reloading goods at the destination port. Steamships require you to keep their containers at the port in some countries when embargoes are in place. 


We can help you make the import/export process work.

Creative Uses of Containers in Houston and Nearby Areas

Explore some of the creative ways Texans have repurposed steel shipping containers.

  • Food Park

    The Deck Food Park is built from shipping containers in Montgomery County, Texas, north of Houston. It offers Korean, Vietnamese, American, Mexican, and South American cuisine and alcoholic beverages.

  • Housing and Rentals

    A 42-unit modest housing complex with beautiful interiors was constructed almost entirely of shipping containers in Houston’s Fifth Ward.


    An upscale AirBnB built of stacked shipping containers also graces Houston.


    Moreover, Huntsville, Texas, 75 miles north of Houston, solved a student housing shortage by building apartments out of shipping containers. 

  • Vertical Farms

    A farm on just 320 square feet? That’s what this container farmer built in downtown Houston. Lettuce, kale, and mustard greens can grow year-round—no matter the rain, sun, humidity, or warmth. Nearly 260 towers of greens rise inside two climate-controlled, 20-foot containers.


    Likewise, a similar greens farm hangs in converted shipping containers in Woodland, Texas.

Traditional Container Uses

Of course, Texans are also using shipping containers in more traditional ways.

Farm Implement Storage

For example, savvy farmers may store farm equipment, implements, or tractors in new and used shipping containers. This extends and expands the size and locations of their barns and reduces their overhead costs.

Self-Storage Facilities

Green Space built two enormous self-storage facilities from shipping containers. One is on Brittmoore Road in Houston, and the other is in Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston.
