Looking at getting a 10ft container as an outside store, nothing valuable inside, just boxes, packing crates, pallets and so on to tidy the place up. Thief magnet I fear but I wouldn't loose any sleep if I didn't bother with a lock on it.
Been offered one with a 5 year buy back offer but thought I'd ask if ph's have experience of getting these and getting shot of them as and when required? Recommendations? It will be on a semi-closed in yard.

Yes, condensation is awful. Never figured out why.

Sealed metal container in variable temperatures. Think refrigerator.

We had one at a yard where I worked. They are only as secure as the lock/chain on the doors but handy otherwise. I don't remember much condensation but then they were opened pretty much every day. Yes, they are a bit of a magnet but then what is safer to keep valuable equipment than them?
