Why Choose Container Conversions for Farms?
Farms are renowned for facing harsh weather conditions, with work continuing all year round regardless of rain or snow. This makes it essential to invest in high-quality structures that can withstand the effects of the elements, however severe. Outbuildings constructed from wood can become damaged over time, putting whatever is inside them at risk. That’s why many farmers are opting for farms container conversions constructed from durable steel – built to last so that they protect your equipment, feed, and livestock all year round.
At Capital Containers, we convert containers specifically for agricultural use, ensuring they meet your needs exactly. As well as being fully weather-proof, resistant to pests and predators, and needing minimal maintenance, they can be customised with secure doors and windows, insulation for temperature control, shelving for organised storage, and ventilation systems for animal housing.

Farm Conversions
When a smallholder approached Capital Containers with a problem familiar to many rural farmers, we knew we could help. Her wooden chicken shed had become a target for foxes, and the frequent high winds in her area often left the shed in disrepair. The traditional structure simply wasn’t holding up, and her chickens were at risk.
Drawing from our extensive experience in supplying high-quality shipping containers, we proposed an innovative solution. We repurposed a container, removing the cargo doors and replacing them with metal grilles and a secure, grilled metal door. This provided the perfect balance of protection and ventilation. The container’s sturdy structure meant it could withstand the elements far better than the previous wooden shed, and the metal grilles ensured that the chickens could enjoy fresh air while remaining safe from predators.
The smallholder was delighted with the outcome. After adding some shelves and fresh straw, the chickens settled into their new home, secure from the elements and any unwelcome visitors. Thanks to Capital Containers, her farm now boasts a durable, weather-resistant coop that guarantees the safety and well-being of her chickens.

One good example involved a smallholder struggling with a wooden chicken shed that was frequently damaged by foxes and bad weather. We converted a sturdy steel shipping container by removing the cargo doors and replacing them with secure metal grilles and a locked metal door. This provided excellent ventilation whilst keeping predators out. The result was a durable, low-maintenance shelter that protected the chickens all year round, providing the farm owner with valuable peace of mind.
