What Fits in Your 20ft x 8ft Container?

At Yolk Storage, we understand that visualising storage space can be challenging. Our 20ft x 8ft containers offer 160 square feet of floor space with a generous 7’10” height, providing twice the capacity of our 10ft containers and 2.5 times more than our 8ft units.

Space-Saving Tips

• Create “room zones” within your container for easier access
• Place items you’ll need least often at the back
• Stack boxes against the walls to maximise central floor space
• Create a centre aisle for access to items at the rear
• Use furniture with storage (beds with drawers, hollow ottomans) to maximise efficiency
• Place protective coverings over furniture to prevent dust build-up

Visualise Your Space

Think of your 20ft x 8ft container as equivalent to a large garage or the ground floor of a small house. The substantial floor space allows you to store the contents of a multi-bedroom home with room for organisation and access.

Not Sure If Everything Will Fit?

Our friendly team is always available to help you determine if this is the right size for your needs. We’re happy to arrange a visit so you can see the units in person at our family farm location between Bristol and Bath.

All containers have easy ground floor access and a covered loading area for your convenience.
