In Iowa shipping containers can be used for several purposes, including but not limited to:
Container Bars: Containers make for great eco-friendly restaurants and bars in Des Moines.
Airbnbs: Want to see how people are modifying shipping containers to rent on Airbnb? Check out The Top 10 Airbnb Container Homes from Around the World.
Farm Storage: Wind and watertight shipping containers are a great way to keep animal feed dry during inclement weather and safe from rodents, insects, or even farm cats. You can also modify your container with insulation kits to create a temperature-controlled space for storing livestock medication.
Container Pools: That’s right — you can make a shipping container swimming pool. These solid, reliable units can easily be converted into 20- or 40-foot lagoon-like pools with zero digging, planning permission, or major work.

New containers, also known as “one-trip” have been used once to ship a single load of dry cargo on their journey to the U.S. and they show very few visible signs of wear.
These containers are an ideal choice if:
1. You plan to place your container in a highly visible area.
2. You plan to use it for building a tiny home, office, or cabin.
3. You plan to associate it with a customer-facing business like a winery or public park.
If you purchase a new container through Boxhub, you’re protected by a 5-year condition guarantee.
Used containers have spent an average of 12-18 years at sea — sometimes longer with clear evidence of their many ocean journeys.
They are a good, cost-effective option if you’re buying a container for:
1. Static storage
2. Non-dwelling purposes
3. International shipping (this requires CSC inspection, which is an additional cost)
Boxhub offers a 1-year condition guarantee on all used containers. This increases to two years for units eligible for international shipping.
If you need help choosing a shipping container, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you.
