Not Sure What Size or the Real Delivered Price?
Flat-pack storage delivered across New Brunswick & Atlantic Canada priced clearly, installed quickly, built for cottage + rural life.
Quick Overview
Shopping for shipping containers in Moncton can feel vague. Listings jump between new and used, 20′ and 40′, rent and buy—and delivery costs vary by access. Alloy Storage keeps this simple for New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada with transparent all-in pricing, a right-size guide, and delivery methods that work for tight driveways and commercial yards.
You’ll also get NB-friendly, practical advice on whether a flat-pack container (7×7, 7×10, 7×13, 7×16, delivered and assembled on-site) or a traditional sea can (20′/40′ off-site storage yard option) is the better fit.

What You Can Expect From Alloy
When you reach out, we’ll send a clear, itemized quote that separates container price, delivery, and any accessories. You’ll also get a short access checklist and our NB placement guide so there are no surprises after booking. Our goal is straightforward: choose the right container once, get it delivered on a realistic window, and know the total cost up front.
20’ vs. 40’ (Traditional Sea Cans)
20’ Container Off-Site Storage Yard Container
- Best for: tools, household overflow, small inventory, single-trade job sites
- Pros: easier placement, shorter pad, lower transport cost
- Considerations: ceiling height suits most storage; forklift turning inside is limited
40’ Container Off-Site Storage Yard Container
- Best for: large moves, multi-trade projects, bulky equipment, long-term stock
- Pros: double capacity, useful for segmentation by zone
- Considerations: truck access is essential; footprint may not suit urban driveways
7×7, 7×10, 7×13, 7×16 Flat Pack Containers
- Best for: tight access in Moncton neighbourhoods, courtyards, backyards, and sites where a full truck drop isn’t practical
- Pros: panelized delivery carried through gates, quick bolt-together assembly, tidy appearance, easy to move or expand later
- Considerations: designed for secure storage and organization; not for heavy forklift traffic inside the unit
How we help right-size: tell us what you’ll store (bins, furniture, tools, ATV, materials), how often you’ll access it, and where it sits on the property. We’ll quote two adjacent sizes so you can compare value and choose confidently.
Every local market has a range. The real question is your all-in number to your address. Our quotes remove the unknowns:
- Container price (size and style)
- Delivery to your Moncton/Dieppe/Riverview address with the right equipment for your access
- Assembly for flat-pack models (usually same-day)
- Add-ons you choose (lock package, shelving, ramp, vents, anchoring)
Tip: If you’re comparing a used sea can to a flat-pack, consider access costs (site prep, truck reach, pad size) and interior cleanliness. Flat-packs arrive clean and are purpose-built for organized storage on residential or mixed-use sites.
Delivery & Access: What Good Looks Like in Moncton
Driveways, laneways, and seasonal roads vary around greater Moncton. We plan your drop so it’s smooth the first time.
What we’ll ask for
- Photos or a quick video from street to drop spot
- Preferred orientation (door direction)
- Ground prep: level, compacted surface; gravel pad or patio blocks work well
- On-site contact for the final check and lock test
What We Offer
- Storage Yard Containers (20’/40’)
- Flat-pack units in panels for walk-in delivery through gates or side yards
- Assembly done the same day in most cases, with tidy staging and cleanup
- Handover includes a care guide and security best practices
Rules differ by municipality and regional service commission. To avoid replacement later, we include an NB-specific checklist with your quote:
- Confirm zoning allows accessory storage at your address.
- Check setbacks from property lines and sightlines for driveways/sidewalks.
- Keep egress routes clear; do not block exits or utility access.
- Share dimensions and specs (we’ll provide a sheet).
- Note duration (seasonal or year-round).
- Prepare level ground and surface drainage.
- Save written confirmation from your local development office if required.
We’ll flag anything unusual in your photos before you book delivery.
- Rent when your need is short-term or you’re staging a project. Alloy offers yard rentals (off-site storage units in Saint John) if you don’t require a container delivered to your property.
- Buy when you want on-site, long-term storage and control. For many Moncton homes or urban job sites, a flat-pack is the most practical “delivered to spot” solution.
Not sure? We’ll price both so you can pick the lowest total cost for your situation.
Choose a traditional sea can when:
- You have clear truck access and a large enough pad
- You need high volume storage for a long time
- Your site can accommodate the visual size of a 20’ or 40’ container
Choose a flat-pack when:
- Access is tight (fences, gates, narrow lanes, backyard locations)
- You want a clean interior and organized layout
- You need a tidier look in residential or mixed-use settings
- You might move or expand the unit later
Both solve secure storage. The right pick is about site fit, schedule, and the real delivered cost to your address.
Backyard organization without construction
Store seasonal gear, bikes, tools, and bins in a 7×10. Keep the garage for the car again. The door can face the yard or a side path for easy access.
Contractor job box that keeps projects moving
A 7×13 or 7×16 with shelving zones means fewer tool runs and a tidier site. Ask about a reinforced lock package and vent options for metal tools.
Condo/property management
A compact unit beside a service room keeps ground equipment and change-out supplies organized without a truck-sized footprint. Placement standards help maintain sightlines and snow-clearing routes.
Rural or seasonal properties
Panelized delivery gets storage where you need it—down a lane, around a cottage, or near a shed—without heavy equipment on your lawn.
Security & Organization The Daily Routine
Steel matters; routine matters too. We’ll include a one-pager you can adopt:
- Lock discipline: who holds keys and when to lock up
- Shelf zones: label shelves for tools, consumables, and seasonal items
- Vent & airflow tips: minimize condensation around metal gear
- Lighting suggestions: motion or solar lighting for after-hours deterrence
Small habits compound into less loss and faster mornings.
Frequently Asked (Short Form)
We’ll confirm stock and provide the earliest available window that fits your access.
Yes. It can be disassembled and relocated, or expanded with another unit.
A level, compacted base (gravel or blocks) is usually enough. We’ll advise based on your photos.
Flat-packs present a clean, neutral finish and a compact footprint that integrates well with residential sites.
We sell on-site flat-packs and offer off-site yard rentals in Saint John. If delivery isn’t required, ask about yard unit availability.
