What to put in she sheds and what every mancave needs to have. He/She Shipping containers

Fun Stuff to Put in Your He/She Shipping Container

/in , , , , , , , /by

Man-caves, she-sheds, bachelor pads, personal studios – there have been many names for those little spaces that are special to us. And now, shipping containers are coming into style as an alternative to building, buying, or renovating a shed or area in your house. More people than ever are opting for a he/she shipping container to give these reliable Conex boxes a second life!

Repurposed shipping containers boast a lot of valuable qualities that are important to the success of outdoor structures, and their worth shifts with location. But regardless of who utilizes the container, everyone receives the same basic amenities:

  • A durable, element-proof structure
  • Secure steel walls
  • An environmentally-friendly option
  • Cost-effectiveness
  • Extra space
  • Pest-resistance

Any additional renovations made to the container, such as adding in windows or extra doors, may compromise certain aspects of the benefits that shipping containers offer, but with proper installation, it still present a superior alternative to traditional structures! It’s customizable nature and versatility make it a great foundation to build the he/she shipping container of your dreams!

If your New Year’s Resolution in 2023 is to construct a space like this for your peace of mind as an escape from the everyday in an effort to improve your mental health and quality of life, we highly recommend considering a shipping container as your structure – it even comes in two different sizes: 20 feet and 40 feet with a Hi-Cube and double-door option available for each size for optimum personalization.

But what about after you’ve decided on a shipping container? A lot of people have a vision in mind for their sacred space, but if you’re looking for some fun assets to include, here’s our suggestions for some little details that can make all the difference!

10 Fun Additions to Your He/She Shipping Container

  • A Chalkboard Game Table

This one can be a party-pleaser across the board! The ability to write and draw directly on a piece of furniture is certain to entertain any young ones that come through your space, but it’s also particularly useful for keeping score during card, board, or drinking games, curating reading lists, and letting your creativity flow whenever the urge hits!

  • A Murphy Bar

One of the primary features of a man-cave or she-shed is that it’s a smaller space to keep chores like cleaning minimal and the costs of decorating low but still with a high-satisfaction yield. Murphy bars are a great space-saver, as they function as both storage and tabletop room, and can be customized to fit right into whatever he/she shipping container theme you have in mind. Double win!

  • Drinko Plinko

Who doesn’t love making an everyday task into a game? Pop open your bottle of beer and watch as the cap trickles down into a category that can be anything you can dream up! Make it a drinking game, a decision-maker, get some reusable labels and have it be different every time – the world is your oyster!

  • A Multipurpose Foosball/Pool/Ping Pong/Picnic Table

Again, a big space-saver with more functions than one! There are several options for a multi-purpose table that supports pool, ping-pong, foosball, and just a regular table. That means several big items that would normally require oodles of space, can all be accessed in one! Games to play and a place to eat, craft, and hang out: there’s no loss!

  • A (Not So) Secret Door

Especially if you choose to have the larger 40 foot container, there are tons of interior renovations that can make your he/she shipping container one-of-a-kind; you can even make it a bona fide he and she container by splitting it down the middle with a wall! To make it even cooler, we suggest putting in a secret door between the two “rooms” that can disguised as a bookshelf, floor to ceiling framed picture or poster, mirror, or pantry!

This is also a good idea for those who want a light/dark option. By adding windows or glass doors, one side can let in all the natural light you want, but for movies, gaming, or soft-light relaxation, you can keep the other half closed-off and as dark as you’d like.

  • Lots of Natural Light

Speaking of natural light, however, it’s one this we do recommend putting into your he/she shipping container! If you’re looking for a place to get away and de-stress, or a studio for art, photography, or studying, natural light is a great addition and a wonderful way to connect with your surroundings, especially if your shipping container will be placed near natural areas with lots of greenery.

  • Hanging Seats

Hanging seats can be a great way to create a unique conversation spot, a relaxing reading range, or personalized napping nook. They come in all sorts of fun shapes, sizes, materials, and styles, so the opportunity to find exactly what you want is there. Whether it’s a hanging tent, a hammock seat, a wicker egg chair, a swinging bench, or a full-sized bed, your he/she shipping container can host whatever will make you happiest!

  • A Portable Projector

If you don’t want to buy a TV and then have it take up space on a stand or go through the steps to mount it so that it doesn’t come crashing down, a great alternative is investing in a portable projector. Most are able to connect to your phone, laptop, or gaming system with ease, so anything you can do on a TV, you can also do on this small, storable projector as well!

Bonus: you can even take it outside, so on nice evenings, you can enjoy the screen on the container’s exterior with friends and family.

  • Repurposed Racks

Racks are a great ally when it comes to storage. Whether it be for hanging coats, purses, keys, leashes, photos, or mounting shot glasses on, there are plenty of repurpose-able materials that add a touch of unique personality! From hockey sticks, golf clubs, baseball bats, and foosball rods to ladders, faucet heads, railroad spikes, and doorknobs, practically everything that has lost its original function can be brought new life as something different!

  • A Personalized Fridge

A staple in he/she shipping containers! Whether it houses specialty drinks, your favorite snacks, precious art supplies, medicines, or cosmetics, refrigerators are a great item to have that makes your cozy little ‘you’ space have everything you might want to have a good time. Paint it to fit your color palette, paste acrylic stickers on it to boast your initials, or design it to look like a money safe, an old-fashioned trunk, or another chalkboard!

Used and new storage containers for sale or rent

Choosing a Storage Container: Which One Is For Me?

/in , , , , , , , /by

All storage situation have different storage needs – Moon knows that. In fact, that’s exactly why there’s an option for 20 foot standard, 40 foot standard, 20 foot Hi Cube, and 40 foot Hi Cube storage containers available.

All of our storage containers boast:

  • A highly-monitored structure to maintain integrity and safety
  • Double swing doors at both ends of the container
  • Short or long term rental
  • Location accessibility evaluation
  • Secure lock boxes
  • ISO-Standards for cleanliness, dryness, and security

But which one would be better for your storage needs?

Here’s a few things to consider when making your decision on storage container size.

Use

While it may be one of the more obvious considerations, it’s still a very important one. What will it be used for? Is it workshop storage? Commercial storage? Parts, pieces, delicates, size – it all contributes to the ultimate decision.

If it’s commercial use that the storage container will be used for, ask yourself if the contents will grow. Spare parts and pieces always seem to have a way of multiplying, and if your business if one that finds yourself with an excess of materials that need to be put somewhere, consider opting for a 40 foot container for future materials.

If your storage container will be put towards personal or residential use – for short term storage of items while you deep clean in preparation for a move, or for long term use of seasonal items, make sure you correctly measure how much material you have. Our dimensions allow for plenty of space for most items, but some pieces of furniture may require disassembly if they’re to be put with other big items or bulk boxes.

We also offer a refrigerated option for both 20 and 40 foot containers, with the only difference that the 20 foot is a standard container and the 40 foot is a Hi Cube container. Be sure to take into account that these units offer approximately 2 feet less than the space you would get with an regular container – 17′ 11″ for the 20 foot container and 37′ 11″ for the 40 foot containers – in order to take into consideration the space necessary for the refrigeration equipment.

Dimensions

To avoid any stress about sizes and space, our storage containers have a comprehensive list of dimensions, as listed below.

Dimensions of 20 or 40 foot storage containers

Standard or Hi Cube?

Besides just a 20 and 40 foot size option, Moon also offers the Hi Cube option for both lengths. These containers add an additional foot of height to your storage solution, making any tight spaces just a little easier to breathe in.

Standard containers come in approximate weights of 8,000 lbs. with a 2,694 cubic foot storage capacity for the 40 foot, and 5,000 lbs. with a 1,665 cubic foot capacity for the 20 foot storage container.

This may be changed by negligible amounts from standard to Hi Cube storage containers, but depending on your need, one foot may make all the difference, especially if your contents are fragile and you want some wiggle room.

Space Availability

Speaking of wiggle room, another factor you’ll have to consider is the space you have available for a storage container. These can be delivered and placed on ground level or on a chassis for dock-level access – again, it’s all very dependent on the application your storage container will be serving.

Moon offers a delivery location accessibility evaluation, so that you don’t have to worry, but if you’re in the initial stages of decision-making, our delivery methods for 20 foot storage containers are via a 35 foot flatbed roll-back truck, and our 40 foot storage containers are via a semi-truck with a 40 foot tilt-bed trailer.

Be sure to assure plenty of space for delivery, and call 502-776-2199 for a delivery location accessibility evaluation!

How Mobile Offices are Used in Disaster Relief Efforts

/in /by

Mobile offices can be a practical, cost effective option for those looking for a temporary office space. These offices are typically constructed inside of a standard trailer, so that they can be easily hauled and deployed. Although it may not be the first use case that comes to mind, these qualities make mobile offices perfect for disaster affected areas. In these areas, officials and volunteers need fast and effective solutions in order to effectively provide relief. Keep reading to learn more about how mobile offices and similar mobile buildings are used in disaster relief efforts.

Construction 

Construction job sites are perhaps the most common places to find mobile office trailers. These job sites need a temporary base of operations, and the portability and price of office trailers make them a very attractive option. Trucks can deliver the offices directly to the job site and pick them up as soon as the job is completed, making the whole process very efficient and easy.

In disaster affected areas, there is no shortage of construction to be done. Floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and similar events can leave many homes, schools, and businesses destroyed. Eventually, affected communities will need to rebuild, meaning wide scale construction. These construction sites will inevitably need office spaces, and as mentioned before, portable office trailers are a popular option. Click here to read about local construction efforts in Bowling Green as the area struggles to recover from devastating tornadoes earlier this year.

Natural Disaster Control Centers

It takes a lot of work to recover from a natural disaster. There are resources to allocate, volunteers to direct, and difficult, time sensitive cleanup jobs to hire out. All this work makes an office, or many offices, a necessity for disaster relief efforts, and since many office buildings may have already been destroyed, an alternative is required. This is where portable office trailers come in. These trailers can be delivered to the affected area and set up quickly, so no time is wasted. 

Schools

Schools can be easily forgotten about in the wake of a natural disaster. With so much damage done to homes and personal property, many don’t have time to consider the effect these events can have on education. Destroyed classrooms and school buildings can take months to clear and rebuild, sidetracking entire school years. Luckily, schools don’t need to wait for this lengthy process of rebuilding to get back to class. With the help of portable classroom and office trailers, schools can be back in session very quickly after a natural disaster. This is important not only for the continuation of student’s education, but as a way to restore a degree of normalcy to children’s lives.

Trailer Leasing in Buechel Louisville Kentucky

Trailer Leasing in Buechel, Kentucky

/in /by

Buechel is a neighborhood in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. It was incorporated into the city in 2003 and currently has a population of over 8,000. Located in the southern part of the city, Buechel offers parks, food, entertainment, and lots of residential desirability. Some neighborhoods around Buechel include Newburg, Fern Creek, Klondike, Bon Air, and Watterson. Let’s take a look at the history of Buechel, current attractions, and how Moon Trailer Leasing can serve your business in the area.

The History of Buechel

The history of Buechel dates back to 1791, with the arrival of George Hikes, a Revolutionary War veteran. Hikes traveled down the Ohio with his wife from Pennsylvania on a flatboat. He built a large farm as well as the first grist mill, saw mill, and wool-processing machine in the area. Currently, “Hikes’ Lane” is a road that runs through his former property, some of which still stands. At the time, the area was known as “Two-Mile Town” due to its location two miles south of the city of Louisville. The area continually grew, thanks to its location alongside the major state highway, Bardstown Road.

90 years later, in the 1870s, Buechel got its name from John Buechel, a Swiss immigrant and cabinet-maker who bought a tavern-hotel and post office on Bardstown Road. The tavern-hotel was known to be the “halfway” point between Louisville and Bardstown, a welcome respite for road-weary travelers. While Buechel’s property is long gone, the name has stuck. 

Buechel Today

Today, Buechel is heavily developed and populated, in part due to the arrival of the GE plant in the 1950s and other nearby industrial operations. That being said, there are two significant green spaces in the 2.5 mile area: Buechel Park and Rest Haven Memorial Cemetery.

Buechel offers a diverse variety of cuisines. Top-rated restaurants and eateries include Jamaican Jerk Center, Pasha’s Mediterranean, Eden & Kissi, Kathmandu Kitchen and Bar, Borsalino Cafe and Deli, Track’s Bar and Grill, Arno Pizza, The Great Room, Brew and Sip Coffee Bar, My Cafe, and Wacky Willy’s Diner, located in Bill Collins Ford Lincoln of Louisville. 

Popular attractions and venues in Buechel include Robben’s Roost Roller Skating Rink, Off The Rails Tasting Room and Wine Depot, Chocolate and Nut Kingdom, Progress Park Airstream Resort and Event Venue, the Southeast Family YMCA, and the West Buechel Community Center.

Options for Portable Offices – 5 Important Things To Consider

/in /by

Portable offices are typically thought of as offices that are movable and comparatively easier to set up and take down in shorter stints of time. Some types of portable offices are even easily transported from one location to another, which makes these great options if you are in a situation where you may need to rent a portable office space for an extended period of time, but to also need to be able to move it to various locations. 

When it comes to portable offices, there are a variety of options, depending on your unique needs, location, and budget. 

Many event planners, construction site managers, builders, and companies undergoing renovations and/or staffing and building changes, have a need for some type of portable office space at some point in time. Portable offices can provide a quick and easy solution for fast expansion or unexpected changes, and they are often used as onsite classrooms, training facilities, staffing overflow space, storage units, medical treatment buildings, and more.

If you are considering renting a portable office and exploring your options, there are some things you should know in order to make a good decision based on your needs. 

Follow along for some important things you should think about when you are considering renting a mobile office unit.

5 Things To Consider While Looking For Portable Office Rental

1. What size do you need?

Portable offices vary in considerably in terms of their dimensions. The most common units vary from 20 feet to 40 feet in size, and include 20-, 30- and 40-foot units.

2. How portable do you need your mobile office to be?

While the word “portable” suggests that every portable office is movable in some way, some units are especially portable because they are built on wheels. If you need a portable office that is built on wheels, this may impact the size of the unit. Typically portable office trailers on wheels are available as 20 or 30 foot units. 

3. What type of layout do you need in your portable office unit?

While many portable offices look similar on the outside, the types of layouts inside vary significantly based on the unique needs of those using the space. For example, if you are a school using a portable office as a classroom you may will need a layout that is conducive to the types of seating and learning tools and style you will use in the space. This may include a very open design. Comparatively if you are using a mobile office as a medical treatment center, your portable office may need to feature a cluster of smaller spaces that offer privacy.  

4. What type of flooring, lighting, heating, electrical outlets, air conditioning, and security are you seeking?

While every portable office rental company is not the same, when you rent a portable office from Moon Trailer Leasing in Louisville and Lexington Kentucky, you can expect certain standard features to all of our units. All of our portable office trailers have walls, ceilings and floors that are insulated. Our mobile offices also have vinyl flooring, interior wood paneling, florescent lighting, electric heating and air conditioning and windows that open, and secure steel exterior doors that lock.

5. What type of accessibility are you seeking for your portable office?

Perhaps one of the biggest ways that portable offices vary is in whether or not they are designed at ground level or put together with stairs. Portable offices with stairs should always include OSHA approved steps for easier access. Portable offices that are built at ground level do not require any stairs for entry. Larger 40-foot office units are often delivered to your site on a tilt bed trailer. This may be another consideration, depending on the location.

Trailer Leasing in Middletown, Kentucky

/in , , , /by

Did you know that Middletown is one of the earliest settlements in Kentucky? Founded in 1797, this home rule-class city features a winning combination of historical charm and commercial development. 

Residents of Middletown can enjoy annual events, such as Concert in the Park, a Lenten fish fry, Veteran’s Day parade, and more. Those looking for event space can find ample enjoyment in Middletown’s Community Center, which occupies the site of the historic Middletown Methodist church. Its sanctuary features stained glass windows, pews, and a piano.

The History of Middletown, Kentucky

The name “Middletown” has a contentious backstory. Some historians believe that it was given this name due to its centrality between Louisville and Shelbyville, two larger cities. However, others think that “Middletown” can be credited to being between Westport and “Shippingport,” two early Ohio river port towns. 

Originally a tract of land owned by Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Myers, Middletown’s central location made it quickly become an early trading post for farmers and travelers. It featured a tannery, cigar factory, millinery shop, general stores, a tailor, blacksmith, and more. Its location on a road between Lexington and Louisville made it a popular rest-stop for stage coaches and people on horseback. Early visitors could stay at pleasant amenities like the Middletown Inn. 

In 1910, an interurban railroad was built through Middletown, connecting Louisville and Shelbyville. This caused a population boom in the area, as people were now able to commute to their jobs in each city along the railroad. However, following the widespread use of cars, the railroad was discontinued. 

Today, Middletown has a historic district as well as several properties on the National Registry of Historic Places. There are also many retail shops and popular restaurants in the area. Visitors can stroll through Middletown’s well-preserved streets, experiencing the 200+ years of history for themselves.

Corydon Battlefield Park in Indiana

Trailer Leasing in Corydon, Indiana

/in , , /by

Despite boasting a population of barely 3,000 inhabitants, Corydon is brimming with history and activity. This southern Indiana township is the former state capital, the site of the state’s first constitutional convention, and a Civil War landmark! Keep reading to learn about Corydon’s history, popular activities in Corydon, and what services Moon Trailer Leasing offers the region. 

Major Historical Events in Corydon

Located north of the Ohio River in Harrison County, Indiana, Corydon was first established in 1808. At that time, Indiana was still a territory, vying for statehood. Due to its central location, the town was selected as the capital of the territory in 1813. The old capitol building still stands, alongside the “Constitution Elm,” an over-200-year-old elm tree under which the state senators were said to meet. Indeed, in 1816, 43 senators convened in Corydon to discuss statehood and draft the first state constitution. From 1816-1825, after Indiana became a state, Corydon served as the first official state capital.

On July 9, 1863, the only Civil War battle to take place in Indiana occurred in Corydon! While it was considered a minor skirmish, the Battle of Corydon still played a deciding role in the war. Led by Col. Lewis Jordon, around 450 men (mostly townspeople) faced a massive Confederate unit (part of the larger Morgan’s Raid). While they fought bravely to defend Corydon, they were significantly outnumbered, and were forced to soon surrendered the town. However, this battle delayed the Confederate forces enough to cost them in the long run, leading to the eventual capture of General Morgan and his army. You can visit the Battle of Corydon Memorial Park today to see a replica of a cannon used in the attack. 

Popular Activities in Corydon

Today, Corydon draws thousands of tourists each year to explore its well-preserved historic district. Starting at the Blaine H. Wiseman Visitor Center, you can take a free self-guided walking tour of major sites including the Constitution Elm, Corydon’s oldest house (built in 1807), the first state capitol building, and the Leora Brown School, one of the oldest former African America schools in the state. For kids, the Harrison County Discovery Center offers an immersive historical experience. 

There’s also plenty of shopping and entertainment in downtown Corydon. Stop by the iconic Butt Drugs, a third-generation family-owned pharmacy and general store. Enjoy an old-fashioned candy and ice cream parlor at Emery’s Ice Cream. Turtle Run Winery, Red Barn Antique Mall, and The Artisan Center (art gallery) offer exciting entertainment as well. 

Nearby, you can check out Squire Boone Caverns, a still-functioning mill built by Squire Boone, brother of Daniel Boone. For outdoorsy types, explore O’Bannon Woods State Park, which features 2,000 acres of forested trails.

Trailer Leasing in St. Matthews, Kentucky

It is one of the premier shopping areas in the state, featuring miles of stores along historic Shelbyville Road, as well as the fifth-largest mall in Kentucky, Mall St. Matthews. St. Matthews earned its name in 1850 from the establishment of the St. Matthews Episcopal Church, the first in the area. It was also known as one of the leading potato-exporters in the country in the early 20th century.

St. Matthews is also a desirable residential community, well-regarded for its connection to beloved greenspaces such as Cherokee and Seneca Parks as well as its close proximity to shopping, highly-rated schools, and other parts of the city. Some popular entertainment venues include Dave & Busters, Cinemark St. Matthews, Ten Pin Strike and Spare, Lazer Blaze, and Malibu Jack’s.

St. Matthews offers plenty of fine dining and local favorites for interested foodies. Grab a specialty dessert at historic Plehn’s Bakery, enjoy a fine steak at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse, munch on specialty tacos at Taco Luchador, or treat yourself to a mouth-watering biscuit at the aptly-named Biscuit Belly.
