Outdoor Storage Solutions for Schools, Colleges & Universities
Extra storage spaces for education establishments
Shipping containers and flat pack stores are the ideal solution for education providers like you, who require extra storage space that is robust, secure and convenient for your staff and students.
Here’s how our Storage containers can work for you…
- A secure weatherproof environment for archiving important records
- Organised storage for gym and sports equipment
- Extra storage space for desks and chairs used during exams
- A dedicated space for groundskeeper tools or caretaker equipment
- Secure storage for seasonal items and events

We needed to replace our old storage sheds, one for the school and one for the Parent Teacher & Friends Association, and contacted Portable Space… We now have a much better storage solution than previously and this has enabled us to free up space within the school building, following our expansion.

Everything went to plan with delivery and installation. The driver was so helpful and everyone was really sympathetic to our situation. We got the impression that this level of service was just the ‘norm’ for Portable Space and we were very pleased. We needed to replace our old storage sheds, one for the school and one for the Parent Teacher & Friends Association, and contacted Portable Space as one of the three companies to supply quotes.
