Flat pack containers are experiencing a surge in popularity. Here at Portable Space, we’ve seen a significant increase in demand.
Offering an ideal storage solution, our flat packs are proving to be an increasingly popular addition to many residential gardens. As they are classified as temporary structures and can easily be disassembled and moved, you don’t normally need planning permission to have one. Lightweight and easy to transport, flat pack containers can be delivered to even the trickiest of locations.
Contrary to what you may believe, flat pack containers are actually pretty quick and simple to assemble. Grab a socket and spanner, screwdriver and stepladder and you’re good to go.
While the heaviest floor and roof sections may require at least two to three pairs of capable hands, each flat pack component is light enough to be lifted and manoeuvred. Depending on the size and type of your flat pack container, if you rope in a little extra muscle, it should be up and fit for purpose within around a couple of hours.
Flat pack containers can withstand whatever the weather throws at them. Compact and perfect for squeezing into those awkward areas of dead space, the most common, domestic use for flat pack containers is garden storage. While wooden sheds are prone to rotting and require constant maintenance, our galvanised steel flat packs offer a robust and maintenance-free alternative. Providing heavy-duty storage space, a flat pack container makes the ideal home for garden and allotment tools.
Of course, storage is often an essential and practical consideration and while our flat pack containers do make an attractive storage solution, they can do more than simply store. From the essential and practical to the interesting and innovative, it’s time to think outside the box.
For the green-fingered among us, a flat pack container can also serve as an indoor garden and be used to house plants that are not hardy enough to survive outdoors. With the addition of our clever flat pack shelving system, it’s possible to accommodate and grow a good number of crops in a limited area. Make the most of your new space and give growing a self-sufficient garden a go.
If you’re a keen craftsperson or like tinkering with tools, you could consider using a flat pack container as a workshop. A flat pack cabin or office, with the addition of windows for light and ventilation, offers a functional and versatile space for a variety of uses. If your hobbies or projects have outgrown the spare room, a flat pack in the garden could be the answer. From wood or metalwork to arts and crafts, enjoy a dedicated space to spend time pursuing your favourite hobby or creating your own cottage industry.
Alternatively, why not consider one of our flat pack kiosks? Flat pack kiosks make ideal home gyms and training rooms. The hatch can be opened and secured, providing a welcome flow of fresh air during the warmer months.
If taking it easy is more your style, a flat pack kiosk is the ideal way to upgrade your outdoor living experience. Particularly popular as pop-up pubs, a flat pack kiosk in the garden makes a great home-brewed bar. Elevate outdoor entertaining and enjoy time with friends and family. For a little bit of peace and quiet, you can retreat from the hustle and bustle of the household to your very own man cave or she-shed. Not a spot for storage, these special spaces are just for you.
