A 20ft storage container gives you about 160 square feet of lockable space, roughly 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall, and it holds tools, fixtures or overflow inventory on a job site or a home project in Woodland without renting a warehouse bay.
Woodland Porta Pros prices monthly storage container rental between 100 and 250 dollars, with most jobs landing near 125 dollars a month for a standard unit. That's the whole story on cost for most renters: no daily or weekly rate exists for containers the way it does for a portable restroom rental or a temporary fence rental, because containers are a longer-term placement. If you're comparing options, check the full breakdown on storage container rental cost before you commit. A 40 foot unit costs more to move and site, so if your load is lighter, the 20ft storage container usually pencils out better than jumping straight to a 40ft storage container. Delivery is a separate line item, similar in structure to how delivery works for a roll-off dumpster rental or a restroom trailer rental, so ask what's included before the truck shows up.

A standard 20ft storage container runs about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8.5 feet tall on the outside, with slightly less clearance inside once you account for wall thickness. Empty, a steel unit like this typically weighs somewhere in the 4,000 to 5,000 pound range, which matters if you're planning to place it on soft ground near a construction zone. Woodland job sites should treat placement the way they'd treat a roll-off dumpster rental delivery: a truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the unit down safely, per standard equipment specs used across the industry. That clearance number applies whether you're placing a container, a 30 yard dumpster rental, or a 40 yard dumpster rental on the same lot. If your site has tight access, similar to lots we've served near Yolo, 7.2 miles northwest of Woodland, call ahead so we can check the path before delivery day. Some renters also ask about a 20ft cold storage container for temperature-sensitive materials; talk to us directly since that's a different unit than the standard dry box.
Placement depends on your lot, your driveway width, and whether the container sits on pavement or dirt for the length of the rental. Most residential driveways handle a 20ft storage container fine, but commercial sites juggling a construction dumpster rental, a temporary power pole, or a light tower rental all at once need a site plan first. If the container will sit in the public right of way rather than on private property, that placement needs confirming with the City of Woodland before delivery. We serve sites from central Woodland out toward Monument Hills, 8.3 miles west, and Knights Landing, 10.3 miles north, so drive time rarely holds up a delivery window. For projects that also need office space on-site, some customers pair a container with a mobile office trailer rental instead of, or alongside, a straight storage box. Check our service areas page for the full list of nearby communities we reach, including Dixon and El Macero.
An empty 20ft steel container typically falls in the 4,000 to 5,000 pound range, though exact weight varies by manufacturer and wall gauge. That weight matters for delivery truck routing and for whether your driveway or lot surface can support it long term. Ask us for the specific unit's spec sheet before delivery.
Some renters want a hybrid: a 20ft container for storage paired with a separate mobile office trailer rental for staff space. We handle both as separate units delivered together, since a true combined container-and-trailer product isn't standard in our fleet. Ask about scheduling both on one delivery run.
It depends on where the container sits. Private property placement usually doesn't require anything from us, but right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city. See dumpster permit requirements for the same logic applied to roll-off equipment, since the rules follow similar lines.
Rentals run month to month, and there's no minimum beyond that first 30-day term. Most construction projects keep a container for the length of the job, then we schedule pickup once you're done. Compare timelines with a 20 yard dumpster rental if you're also clearing debris.
A 20ft unit gives you about half the floor space of a 40ft storage container, and it's easier to place on tighter lots. If you're storing tools and small equipment rather than pallets or vehicles, the smaller box usually costs less and delivers faster.
