Sandbox Containers provides both rental and sales of 20-foot and 40-foot standard storage containers throughout Southwest Florida, as well as high-cube and specialty units. We primarily serve commercial and industrial customers, including contractors, builders, remodelers, restoration companies, and property managers, but can also help residential customers with secure, on-site storage for a renovation or general storage need.

Yes. Sandbox Containers is a locally owned and operated company based in Southwest Florida. That local, owner-involved approach means you’re dealing directly with people who are personally invested in getting your rental or purchase right, rather than a national chain.

Yes. Sandbox Containers is a proud member of the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA), which reflects our commitment to industry best practices around quality, safety, and service. Being part of this organization helps us stay current on standards within the portable storage industry and reinforces our commitment to providing dependable, professional service to every customer we work with.

Sandbox Containers serves Fort Myers, Naples and areas throughout Southwest Florida, including Lee and Collier Counties. Whether you’re in North Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Golden Gate, Golden Gate Estates, Immokalee, and beyond, we can solve your storage needs quickly.

Getting started is simple. Reach out by phone or request a quote online, and let us know what you’re storing, roughly how much space you need, and where you’d like the container delivered. We’ll walk you through your size options and provide clear, transparent pricing before you commit to anything. Once you’re ready, we’ll coordinate a delivery date, place your container on-site, and handle pickup whenever your rental period ends.

We offer flexible rental terms designed to match your actual project timeline rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all contract. This includes month-to-month options for customers who need ongoing or open-ended storage, as well as shorter-term rentals for defined projects. If your needs change partway through your rental, let us know, and we’re happy to talk through adjusting your term as your situation evolves.

Our rental quotes are transparent and include the container rental for your specified term, delivery to your location, professional placement on-site, and pickup once your rental period ends. Additional costs would only apply if you need your container relocated mid-rental or extend your term beyond what was originally planned. We always walk customers through pricing upfront, so there are no hidden fees or surprise charges after delivery.

Delivery timelines depend on your specific location within Southwest Florida and specific unit availability, but we work hard to get your container to you as quickly as possible. If you’re working against a tight project timeline, give us a call directly and let us know. We’ll do what we can to accommodate your schedule and keep your project moving forward without unnecessary delays.

Yes. We understand that project timelines shift, and we offer flexible rental terms that can accommodate an extension if you need more time. Just reach out before your scheduled pickup date to let us know your updated timeline, and we’ll work with you to adjust your rental accordingly. We’d rather help you keep the storage you need than stick rigidly to an original end date that no longer fits your project.

It depends on your specific situation. If you need storage for a defined project or a limited period of time, renting is usually the more cost-effective option, since you’re not tying up capital in a long-term asset. If your storage need is ongoing, permanent, or likely to recur across multiple projects, buying often makes more financial sense. We’re happy to talk through your situation and help you figure out which option fits best.

Every container we rent or sell is inspected to be clean, secure, and structurally sound, with working doors and weather-tight seals. We don’t cut corners on condition, because we know a storage container is only as useful as its ability to actually protect what’s inside it. Whether you’re renting for a short-term project or purchasing for long-term use, you can count on receiving a container we’d be comfortable using ourselves.

Yes, in addition to our rental options, we also offer containers for sale. Once your purchase is confirmed, we’ll schedule a delivery timeline that works for you and position your container exactly where you need it on your property or job site. Let us know your location and any relevant site access details in advance so we can plan the delivery efficiently and avoid any unnecessary delays.

We primarily offer 20-foot and 40-foot standard containers, which cover the majority of commercial, industrial, and residential storage needs we see across Southwest Florida. We also carry a smaller selection of high-cube and specialty containers for projects that require extra vertical clearance or a more specific configuration. If you’re unsure which size is the right fit, give us a call, and we’ll help you figure it out based on what you’re storing.

Your delivery site should be level, stable ground capable of supporting the container’s weight once it’s loaded, with enough clearance for our delivery truck to access and position the unit. A firm gravel pad, asphalt, or concrete surface tends to work best, though level, compacted ground can also be suitable in many cases. If you have questions about whether your specific site will work, we’re happy to talk through it with you before your scheduled delivery.

If you’re renting and need your container relocated within your property during your rental period, let us know, and we can typically coordinate that for you, sometimes with an additional cost depending on the details. If you’ve purchased your container, you have full control over future placement, though moving a loaded container requires the proper equipment. We’re happy to discuss options either way based on your situation.

Permit requirements vary depending on your municipality and the type of property involved, so we recommend checking with your local jurisdiction before scheduling delivery. That said, we’re happy to share what we’ve learned from experience delivering containers throughout Southwest Florida and can help point you toward the right local resources if you’re unsure where to start with permitting questions.

Storage containers serve a wide range of purposes across Southwest Florida, including construction and contractor job-site storage, renovation and remodeling projects, equipment and material storage, inventory storage, temporary on-site storage during moves or transitions, and general residential storage needs. Our customers include contractors, builders, remodelers, restoration companies, property managers, and homeowners, each using containers in ways that fit their specific project or business needs.

While our primary marketing focus is commercial and industrial customers (including contractors, builders, construction companies, remodelers, restoration companies, and property managers), we’re glad to work with homeowners as well. Residential customers often use our containers for moves, renovations, decluttering projects, or general on-property storage needs. Reach out and let us know what you’re working on, and we’ll help you figure out the right container and rental or purchase option.

As a locally owned business, we offer direct, responsive communication and an owner-involved approach that’s harder to find with larger, national operations. You’ll talk to a real person who knows our container fleet and can actually follow through on your request, rather than navigating an automated call center. We’re intentionally growing our business responsibly, focused on transparent pricing, dependable delivery, and building our reputation one customer at a time.
