Is your club struggling with limited or insecure storage? Are you frequently reorganising or taking equipment home to keep it safe? Here’s a practical, secure storage solution designed with sports clubs in mind.
the problem
Ordinary storage solutions for sports clubs work well initially, when only a handful of supplies and equipment are needed, and using smaller, less secure storage options is often quite viable. However, even a small amount of growth your club goes through will quickly require more storage, whether it’s for cricket bats, goal posts, or even your kit.
If your club gains access to more land, which requires more maintenance, you will likely need to start storing equipment like lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other tools. Storing maintenance tools alongside sports equipment often creates a real storage headache.
our solution
We at Portable Space offer an array of options to help you with your storage needs. We provide a range of storage containers, from the more modest 8 ft size, ideal for tight spaces, to the larger 20ft and 40ft containers, perfect for housing machinery and equipment. Our containers are also available for purchase or a minimum hire period of four weeks.
Our products will provide you with storage solutions that are lockable, secure and weatherproof. The shipping containers are constructed from high-grade Corten steel, which is vandal-resistant, giving you that much-needed peace of mind.
Our storage containers also come with a few product options that you might need;
- A Standard Electronics Pack that provides one LED light, a switch near the door, and a double socket.
- Upgraded Electrics Pack that provides you with a tubular heater to stop the formation of frost
- Heavy-duty two-tier, Three-Tier, and Fastfit shelving. These shelving options will significantly increase your storage capabilities, keep your storage in good condition, and also provide you with some desirable ease of access.
- Anti-Condensation Coating
- Full Container Respray
- Plywood-lined and insulated
HOW WE HAVE HELPED
We recently provided Reading Renegades RFC with a dedicated storage container for their kit and equipment. Our prompt delivery and installation brought their project to life and will positively impact the team’s day-to-day operations. Their next steps are to install electricity and add some branding to make it truly their own.
Not only do we solve storage issues, but we also provide solutions for other problems clubs may face. We provided Stowmarket FC with toilet facilities, which we designed and installed. The toilet block has facilities for men, women and people with disabilities. For more details, see what we’ve done with Stowmarket FC and read our case study here.
NEXT STEPS
We are here to make your club’s storage upgrade smooth and affordable. There are funding opportunities available to you through the Football Foundation. They will grant you up to £25,000 to cover the cost of buying a secure storage container for your Football Club. There are a few requirements, such as;
- Two like-for-like quotations for appropriate storage containers from different suppliers (if they are pre-owned/refurbished, they must come with a 12-month warranty)
- Planning Approval Notice: No funding will be released until this is in place
- The container needs to be stored securely at the named applicant’s site
A more comprehensive guide on what you need to secure this funding can be found here on the Football Foundation website.
