Q: Do you deliver shipping containers to Houston, Texas?

Yes. We deliver to Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, Brazoria County, Galveston County and surrounding areas. Delivered from a depot serving Greater Houston via I-10, I-45, I-69, and the I-610 loop. Clay-heavy Gulf Coast soils drain slowly and much of the metro sits in or near mapped floodplains, so we plan placement on firm, elevated ground and can scout tight or soft sites before scheduling.

From the Ship Channel docks to the master-planned suburbs of Katy and The Woodlands, we deliver steel-clad protection across Greater Houston.

Delivered price

What a container costs in Houston.

$1,710 delivered to 77008 for a 20ft
$2,200 delivered to 77008 for a 40ft standard
$2,200 delivered to 77008 for a 40ft high cube

That is the container and the delivery together, with nothing added later. These prices have been in effect since September 3.

Your ZIP will be different from the one we price from, and delivery distance is most of what moves the number, so call and we will run yours.

Would you rather pick it up yourself?

If you would rather collect it yourself, we can do that. Pickup is priced differently from delivery and it is not the delivery fee taken back off, so here are both numbers side by side.

20ft $1,710 delivered, or $1,160 collected from a yard about 20 miles out.
40ft standard $2,200 delivered, or $1,650 collected from a yard about 20 miles out.
40ft high cube $2,200 delivered, or $1,650 collected from a yard about 20 miles out.

Which sizes are sitting at a nearby yard changes week to week, and the closest yard for one size is not always the closest yard for another. Call and we will check what is there and tell you where it is before you commit to the drive.

How we serve Houston

Steel Box Direct is a family-run dealer headquartered near Cincinnati: Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky are our home delivery region. Houston is one of the markets we fulfill through our supplier network, from a depot right in the area: same containers, same Lifetime Leak Warranty, same person handling your quote. Sourcing from a local yard instead of hauling steel across the country keeps freight short, and short freight is what keeps our pricing structure low.

Why Houston buyers choose Steel Box Direct

Houston is the center of the U.S. energy industry, and the Ship Channel complex is the nation's largest port by waterborne tonnage. Big freight and big weather: our Wind & Water Tight containers are built for both.

Ship Channel Capacity

The port and petrochemical corridor east of downtown runs around the clock. A container on your own yard adds secure equipment and materials storage without waiting on warehouse space.

Floodplain-Aware Placement

The Harris County Flood Control District notes a major flood occurs somewhere in the county about every two years. We plan container placement on firm, elevated ground that stays solid after heavy rain.

Houston's Own Rulebook

The City of Houston famously has no conventional zoning: development runs on ordinance codes, and the counties handle development and floodplain permitting. Requirements are set by your local authority and are the buyer's responsibility to confirm before purchasing.

Common uses in Houston

From the Ship Channel docks to the master-planned suburbs of Katy and The Woodlands, here's how Greater Houston puts a container to work.

Renting vs owning

Do you rent portable storage containers in Houston?

No. Steel Box Direct does not rent portable storage. We sell used Wind and Water Tight shipping containers, delivered to your property in Houston, and we offer rent-to-own on fixed terms that end in ownership. A rented pod fits a move; an owned container fits storage that stays on your property. Our portable storage guide compares the two honestly.

Permits & zoning

Zoning and permit rules are set by your local authority and are the buyer's responsibility to confirm before you buy. Start with the offices below:

We keep a page for each of those offices, naming who decides and listing the questions worth asking your county or municipal zoning office before you buy:

Primary ZIPs served: 77002 · 77008 · 77029 · 77494 · 77380 · 77584
