A 20ft storage container measures about 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet tall, giving roughly 1,170 cubic feet of space, and rents through storage container rental in Fort Myers starting around $100 a month based on our measured pricing. Empty weight runs close to 5,000 pounds depending on the box.
An empty steel 20ft box weighs somewhere around 5,000 pounds, before you load anything into it. That matters for delivery. The truck dropping it off needs a clear, flat path, similar to the 60 feet of straight clearance a roll-off dumpster rental in Fort Myers needs behind the truck. Driveways with tight turns or low tree limbs in older Fort Myers neighborhoods can complicate that approach, so tell the dispatcher what your access looks like before delivery day. If you are staging a jobsite instead of a home driveway, pair the container with temporary fence rental to keep the yard secured overnight. For full container specs across sizes, see dumpster sizes and dimensions, which covers box footprints even though it is written for dumpsters. Weight limits inside the box are a separate question from delivery weight; check dumpster weight limits for how overloading gets measured.
Monthly rental is the standard way these are priced, and it beats renting a storage unit across town for a renovation that drags on.

Rates shift with delivery distance, ground condition and rental length, so a container going 5.0 miles southwest to Page Park prices differently than one staying inside city limits. For the full cost breakdown across container types, see storage container rental cost. If you need something bigger, 40ft storage container options exist too, and a mobile office trailer rental works if you want a 20ft mobile office container with trailer setup instead of plain storage.
Yes, refrigerated 20ft units exist, often called a 20ft cold storage container, and contractors and event caterers in Fort Myers rent them for perishable materials or food service runs. They plug into standard power and hold temperature better than a standard box in Florida heat. If your event needs restrooms alongside cold storage, look at event restroom rental or, for something with more finish, luxury restroom trailer. Construction crews running a full buildout often combine a 20ft box with construction site services, a light tower rental, and a temporary power pole so the trailer, lighting and container all land on delivery day together.
A 20ft box suits a single-room renovation, a small move, or overflow inventory. A 40ft storage container fits whole-house packouts or larger commercial staging. Most homeowners doing one project at a time are fine with the 20ft size.
Placement rules depend on where the container sits, especially near the street or right of way, and that needs confirming with the City of Fort Myers directly. See porta potty permit requirements for how permit questions generally get handled on jobsites here.
As long as you need, month to month, which is why pricing is built around monthly terms rather than daily rates. Long renovations near Tice, about 7.3 miles north, or projects further out toward Estero, keep containers for months at a stretch.
Availability depends on route and current bookings. For urgent jobsites, check emergency porta potty rental for how rush delivery generally works, then call to confirm container availability directly.
Most jobsites pair storage with sanitation and fencing. A standard porta potty rental, a handwashing station rental, and chain link temporary fence cover the basics crews need on a fenced, serviced site in Fort Myers.
