Drip, Drip, Drip
James runs a furniture consignment store. While his shop was being renovated, he decided to store his vintage couches and carpets inside a storage container. The renovation took a little longer than he thought and a few seasons passed. When renovations were completed, and it was time to put couches back on display, he noticed a mildewy smell coming from the couch fabric. James was unaware that with temperature changes, containers are prone to condensation inside. With excess moisture comes mold and mildew!
At ATR we don’t recommend storing any precious or valuable furniture or soft materials in the container due to condensation. We also don’t recommend storing any expensive electronics due to the extreme heat that builds inside the containers under the Florida sun.
Into the Abyss – a SPOOKY fun fact!
Did you know there are thousands of shipping containers at the bottom of the ocean? Containers traveling overseas are stacked up to nine high on large ships. It’s estimated that one container AN HOUR is lost overboard. Not a nice thought for anyone with Thalassophobia: A fear of the deep sea!
Don’t Look Now
A new public park is opening in town and there are still some ends that need to be tied. Joe has a few storage containers at the back of the park that he’s rented from ATR! They look fantastic! That said, another contractor near the garden went with a different company who uses fresh off the boat shipping containers that are visibly damaged and rusted. They definitely took the attention away from the beautiful local foliage!

You scramble to bring your freshly painted cabinet doors into your storage container workshop but THE DOORS WONT OPEN! Not that they’re impossible to open but you’re not thinking clearly, and these can be complicated! Unfortunately, the cabinet doors get soaked. What a nightmare!
Shipping container doors are notoriously tricky to open! Some of our containers are “Easy-Open” but there is still some brainwork that goes behind opening and closing these things! Watch and save this video for future reference on how to get into your storage container rental!
