New, used & refurbished containers for sale in Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is an artists’ town built on canyons and bluffs, and the container work here reflects both: studios and creative workspace, secure storage through a renovation, and equipment holding on hillside builds. We supply new, used, and refurbished units and carry out modifications in our own shop — insulation, glazing, doors, power, lighting, and climate control.
Access is the honest constraint, and more so here than anywhere else we deliver. A tilt-bed carrying a 40ft container needs roughly 100 feet of straight clearance to unload, and Laguna’s canyon roads, switchback driveways, tight bluff-top lots, and narrow streets frequently cannot offer it. A 20ft unit is what reaches most properties in town. Send us the address and a photo of the approach and we will tell you what actually fits before you pay for anything.
Appearance matters here too. Laguna applies design review to what goes on a property, and a raw steel box is rarely what a neighbour or a committee wants to look at. Custom paint, cladding, and concealed hardware change how a unit reads, and containers are Corten weathering steel so coastal air is ordinary service for them. Same-day quotes, and we will tell you honestly what a container can and cannot do on your lot.
Watertight roof, hole-free floors, sealing doors — checked at the depot.
Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, Laguna Beach in 3–5 business days.

On the way back from picking up parts we finally stopped by since we drive past it a lot. Solid spot — the guy working was super helpful and got us in and out quick with the container we needed. Prices seemed fair compared to what everyone else charges online.
A Google UserWorked over a weekend to get us a modified shipping container ahead of schedule at a reasonable price. This company is the best!
Byron YoungI would recommend Shipping Container Depot and Phil to any of my business colleagues. They go out of their way to help you — very few companies like them left. Thank you for your expertise.
Andrew SimapayBought a container and could not be happier. The price was very reasonable, cheaper than the other quotes, and it was delivered on time — placed in a very tight spot for no extra money and with a smile. Great job!

Pro tip: the 40ft high cube is the go-to for container homes and offices — that extra foot of interior height makes all the difference once you insulate and finish the ceiling.

Container delivery in Laguna Beach
Here’s our wedge: we run our own truck fleet. Competitors sell you a container and hand you off to a third-party trucker they’ve never worked with. We don’t. Our drivers, our tilt-bed trucks, straight from our LA depot down to your property in Laguna Beach — typically 3–5 business days, access permitting.
Tell us the size, condition, and delivery ZIP. We price it in one call — no broker in the middle.
One of our own drivers books a window that works for you and confirms site access ahead of time.
The tilt-bed slides the container gently into place. No forklift required — just level ground and clearance.
We deliver across Laguna Beach and the south coast
A 40ft container on a tilt-bed truck needs about 100 feet of straight clearance to unload. No forklift needed — the truck sets it down for you. Not sure your site fits? We’ll walk it with you over the phone.
