20ft Used "Wind & Water Tight" Shipping Container: Product Guide
Product Description
Item Title: 20ft Used Shipping Container (Wind & Water Tight / WWT) – Budget Dry Storage
The Most Affordable Solution for Secure, Ground-Level Storage The 20ft "Wind & Water Tight" (WWT) shipping container is the most popular choice for buyers seeking maximum utility at the lowest possible price point. These units are retired from international shipping fleets (typically 12–15 years old) and are now sold exclusively for static storage use.
While they may look rough on the outside, a WWT container is functionally solid. It is guaranteed to seal out wind, rain, and rodents, making it the perfect alternative to a wooden shed or pole barn. Whether you need to store hay on a farm, tools on a construction site, or ATV's in your backyard, the 20ft WWT unit keeps your assets dry and secure for a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

The Bottom Line: If you are not shipping goods overseas and you don't mind the "industrial used" look, buy WWT. You get the same storage utility as a CW unit but save money by not paying for the export certification.
