What is a 10ft Container?
Unlike 20ft and 40ft containers which are standard ISO shipping sizes, 10ft containers are created by cutting a 20ft container in half and professionally welding a new end wall onto the cut end.
This creates two 10ft units, each with the full structural strength of the original container. The cut-and-weld process, when done properly, produces a container that's just as weatherproof as the original.
10ft Container Dimensions
A 10ft container measures approximately: - Length: 3 metres - Width: 2.44 metres - Height: 2.59 metres (or 2.89m if cut from a High Cube)
This gives you approximately 7 square metres of floor space — compact but very useful for specific applications.
Best Uses for 10ft Containers in Kenya
Urban storage: Perfect for Nairobi plots where a full 20ft container is too large.
Small business kiosks: A compact retail unit — ideal for small shops, ticket booths, or cash offices.
Garden storage: Tools, garden equipment, and outdoor supplies.
Guard stations: Comfortable security booths for residential estates and businesses.
Generator housing: Protect generators from weather and theft.
Small site offices: Compact workspace for a supervisor or security on construction sites.
Things to Consider Before Buying a 10ft Container
Modification quality matters most: The weld quality on the new end wall is critical. Poor welding leads to leaks and reduced strength. Only buy from suppliers who do professional cut-and-seal work.
Cost per square metre: While the total price is lower, 10ft containers actually cost more per square metre than 20ft or 40ft options. A 20ft container at Kshs 180,000 gives you 14 sq.m — much better value if you need more space.
Availability: These aren't standard ISO sizes, so stock varies. Contact us to confirm availability.
Transport: Easier and cheaper to deliver than larger containers.
