A 20ft storage container gives you about 160 square feet of lockable space, roughly 20 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8.5 feet tall, and it holds tools, fixtures or overflow inventory on a jobsite or a driveway. Kirkland Porta Pros rents them by the month, typically 100 to 250 dollars depending on condition and add-ons.
An empty 20ft steel container weighs several thousand pounds, and that weight is exactly why placement matters. Kirkland Porta Pros checks your ground before drop-off: gravel, asphalt or a compacted pad works, but soft lawn or a slope near a Kirkland retaining wall can cause settling. If you are also renting a roll-off dumpster for the same cleanout, ask about scheduling both drops together, since a delivery truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set either unit down safely. Compare footprints on our dumpster sizes and dimensions page before you commit to container size, because a 20ft box and a 40ft storage container sit very differently on a tight urban lot.
Picture a space about as long as a standard parking stall and roughly 8 feet wide, tall enough to walk into without ducking. That footprint fits most driveways in Kirkland and most fenced jobsite corners, but corner lots near busier Kirkland streets sometimes need a placement check first. Pair the container with temporary fence rental or a run of chain link temporary fence if the site sits near foot traffic, since a locked container does not stop someone from walking the perimeter. Crews running longer projects often add a mobile office trailer rental alongside the container so paperwork and tools live in separate, purpose-built spaces. If 20 feet is not enough, step up to the 20ft storage container page's bigger sibling and compare against a 40ft storage container before you sign anything.
Some 20ft units come outfitted as a mobile office, wired and insulated, and some can be configured for cold storage needs on food service or event jobs. Ask Kirkland Porta Pros what is in stock when you call, because inventory shifts week to week and not every unit on the lot is set up the same way. If your job is really about restrooms and not storage, look at our portable restroom rental or restroom trailer rental pages instead, since a storage container solves a different problem. Construction crews juggling several rentals at once usually start from our construction site services hub, which lays out toilets, fencing and containers side by side so nothing gets left off the order.

Delivery is billed separately and typically runs 120 to 420 dollars for a month-long placement, depending on distance and site access. Full details live on our storage container rental cost page. For jobs near Kenmore, 5.5 miles northwest, or Bothell, 6.1 miles north, delivery fees stay close to the low end of that range; Sammamish jobs, 14.6 miles southeast, run higher.
Most Kirkland customers rent by the month, and there is no fixed maximum. Long renovation jobs sometimes keep a container on site for six months or more. Ask about a lower monthly rate for extended terms when you call for a quote.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the city. If the container sits fully on private property, like a driveway or fenced yard, permitting is usually simpler. Check our porta potty permit requirements page for general placement logic that also applies to containers.
Tools, fixtures, furniture, seasonal inventory and construction materials all work well. Avoid anything requiring climate control unless you have confirmed a cold storage unit. Hazardous materials are never allowed regardless of container type.
Plan on roughly 60 feet of straight clearance behind the delivery truck so the container can be set down without backing through tight turns. Narrow Kirkland alleys or steep driveways may need a site visit first.
Yes, and many renovation and construction jobs do exactly that. Request a roll-off dumpster and temporary fence rental on the same request a quote form to coordinate one delivery window instead of three separate trips.
