## Customisation Options for Your 20ft Container

While standard 20ft containers provide excellent functionality, Acorn Containers offers various customisation options to tailor the unit precisely to your business requirements. Modifications can significantly enhance the container's utility and security. Popular options include:

- **Personnel Doors and Windows:** Adding standard doors and windows to facilitate easier access and provide natural light if the container is used as a workshop or office.
- **Ventilation:** Installing vents to improve airflow and prevent condensation build-up, particularly important when storing sensitive materials.
- **Internal Lining and Insulation:** Adding insulation and internal lining can create a more stable internal environment, protecting contents from temperature fluctuations and making the container suitable for offices or workshops.
- **Electrical Fit-out:** Installing lighting, power sockets, and heating/cooling systems for creating functional workspaces.
- **Shelving and Racking:** Custom internal fit-outs to maximise storage efficiency and organisation.

Discuss your specific modification needs with our team. We possess the expertise to advise on the most effective modifications for your intended use, ensuring your 20ft container provides the optimal solution.

## Selecting Between New and Used 20ft Containers

Acorn Containers offers both new ('one-trip') and used 20ft containers, providing options to suit different budgets and requirements. New containers have typically completed just one journey from the manufacturing origin, meaning they are in excellent condition with minimal wear. They offer the best appearance and longevity, ideal for applications where presentation is important or for long-term use. Used containers provide a more budget-friendly alternative. They show signs of previous use, such as minor dents and surface rust, but remain structurally sound and watertight, perfectly suitable for secure storage. All our used containers undergo inspection to ensure they meet cargo-worthy standards, guaranteeing their functionality for storage purposes. We can provide images of specific used containers to help you assess their condition before purchase or hire.
