Our custom container gyms, man-caves or she-sheds, garages and more give you the extra space you need without the hassle, cost and wait that comes with home renovation.

While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.

Our drivers can deliver your storage container Monday-Friday, between the hours of 6AM and 2PM local time. Our two-hour delivery window is the most precise in the industry. If you desire another delivery time outside of our standard delivery options, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. As a courtesy, our driver will call you at least 30 minutes before they arrive at your drop-off destination.
Before we deliver your Conex box, prepare your delivery area by ensuring that there are no low overhangs, arches, wires, trees or any other obstacles that could interfere with your delivery. It's a good idea to mark the space where you would like your steel container placed.
When our driver arrives, they will back our truck into the space where you would like your shipping container placed. Once we arrive, we will ensure that your container is delivered safely and securely. If placed on asphalt or pavement, we will use wood dunnage pads to make sure your ground surface is protected and the container is level.

The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks square off on Monday with first pitch set for 8:10 p.m. ET. The game takes place at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. Atlanta is expected to give Spencer Strider (1-1, 2.22 ERA) the first major league start of his career. Arizona will start Zac Gallen (3-0, 2.22 ERA)
The Braves (23-25) took the series win over the Miami Marlins after picking up the 6-3 win on Sunday. Marcell Ozuna knocked two home runs in the win which was a good sight to see for the Atlanta batting order. Strider has been solid out of the bullpen this season, but it remains to be seen how long of a leash he will have or if it will be a bullpen day for the Braves.
The Diamondbacks (23-25) sit in fourth place in the NL West and are coming off getting swept in a four-game divisional series by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Arizona had won two games against the Kansas City Royals, but that momentum quickly depleted. They’re hoping that Gallen will be able to spark a new winning streak. This will be Gallen’s ninth start of the season. In his last outing, he pitched 5.1 innings and gave up seven hits and six earned runs while striking out four.
Pitchers: Spencer Strider vs. Zac GallenFirst pitch: 8:10 p.m. ETBraves local broadcast: Bally Sports SoutheastDiamondbacks local broadcast: Bally Sports ArizonaLive stream: MLB.tv (subscription)
Run Line: Atlanta -1.5Run total: 8Moneyline odds: Atlanta -120, Arizona +100
Moneyline pick: Atlanta -120
The Braves have been up and down this season, not having a win streak larger than two wins so far. Strider has pitched in 24.1 innings and has struck out 37 batters. He should find success against the Diamondbacks lineup that hasn’t consistently been strong. Gallen has been a staple in the Arizona rotation, but the Atlanta batting order has momentum heading into this game.
Player prop pick: Zac Gallen Over 5.5 strikeouts (-150)
The Braves lineup continues to rack up the strikeout numbers as they remain at the top of the list when it comes to K’s per game as a team. Gallen’s K/9 numbers are slightly down through his first eight starts of 2022, but he has been a high-strikeout thrower throughout his career, and he should get to 6 strikeouts on Monday night.

The American housing market took off during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and home values have been climbing rapidly since. Home sale data compiled by real estate data company Zillow shows that the typical value of a mid-priced home soared by over 20% in the last year, from $284,000 in April 2021 to over $344,000 in April 2022.
Much of the surge in home sales, however, was not driven by families or first-time homebuyers, but rather by investors.
According to realty company Redfin, investors accounted for 18.4% of all U.S. home sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 - or more than one in every six home sales. Real estate investors can be large corporations, like Blackstone, or local companies and wealthy individuals. No matter who the investor is, their goal is the same - to profit from the real estate market, either through flipping homes or converting them into rentals.
Some major metropolitan areas are drawing even more investors than the national average. In the Phoenix metro area, investors accounted for an estimated 28.4% of home sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 - equal to more than one in every four home sales. The value of all homes in the metro area bought by investors in the final three months of 2021 totals $3,794,952,629.
Likely due in part to the impact investors are having on demand, home values are relatively high in Phoenix. As of April 2022, the median home price in the metro area was $460,000.

PHOENIX (Stacker) - Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic made many renters realize they could pick up and move to a place where they could get more bang for their buck, but the ramifications of the global health crisis didn’t stop there.
Months-long wait times for common building materials, supply chain issues, more expensive building products, and a need for workers are among the various pandemic-related factors that have contributed to the delay in housing development. This stagnation also plays an important role in why rents are higher today, with rents having spiked 15.3% year over year across the country. This is particularly evident in the Sun Belt—which includes Florida, Arizona, and Texas—where the biggest rent increases are, as more people move to warmer climates.
Stacker examined May 2022 data from the rental platform Apartment List to see which major cities have recorded the biggest year-over-year rent increases. To be included in the analysis, the city had to have at least 350,000 residents. In the event of a tie, the percentage change from the previous month was used.
Read on to see if your city is experiencing a surge in rental prices.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,270
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,445
- Change from May 2021: 20.9%
Although Raleigh’s rents dipped at the end of 2021, they’ve risen again. Would-be homebuyers who have been priced out of Raleigh’s skyrocketing real estate market are continuing to rent, which creates a lack of supply and increases average rents. While Raleigh’s rents are rising, they’re still affordable compared to other large cities around the country.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,286
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,448
- Change from May 2021: 21.5%
Big Tech companies like Oracle and Amazon are among the employers fueling job growth in Nashville. More good jobs in the city also fuels population growth, and the housing supply hasn’t been able to keep up.
Although the pandemic slowed down real estate development, a number of apartment buildings will be opening up in the coming years, which may ease rent prices.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,455
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,771
- Change from May 2021: 21.5%
From 2010 to 2020, Austin’s population exploded by over a half million people to 2.3 million people, due in part to its affordability. Tech companies like Oracle and Tesla relocated their headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, while Apple and Google have expanded their Austin offices. Remote workers also arrived from more expensive cities, causing more pressure on the housing market and keeping would-be homeowners in rental situations.
The pandemic also caused rents to fall below-market rates, but now that people are moving around again, rental prices are making up for lost time.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,113
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,423
- Change from May 2021: 21.9%
Many remote workers moved to Las Vegas from more expensive cities and brought their higher-paying salaries with them. This has allowed them to afford rents that are out of reach to existing residents.
In addition, outside investors and hedge funds have been snapping up properties for sale, which means would-be homebuyers keep renting. As material shortages and other supply chain issues persist, the supply of new housing options has struggled to keep up.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $959
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,262
- Change from May 2021: 21.9%
Nearly half of Tucson’s population rents, but there’s not enough rental housing supply to keep up with demand, which has caused prices to soar. Several contributing factors are at play, including a focus on single-family home construction versus apartment buildings and the proliferation of apartments being used as short-term or vacation rentals.
Although residents who rent believe price-gouging is at play, state law prohibits limiting how much a landlord can charge for rent. This has put increasing pressure on residents’ wallets, even if Tucson is still one of the more affordable cities in Arizona.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,232
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,490
- Change from May 2021: 23.3%
A prime city in the Sun Belt, Phoenix is considered affordable to those who live outside of the area, which has spurred population growth.
Supply chain and labor issues have led to a housing shortage. In addition, the 2008 housing bubble greatly affected the city, and new construction stopped. While things have resumed, the supply hasn’t caught up with demand. This is evident in Phoenix’s 2022 rental vacancy rate of just 3%, half of what it normally is.
Investors have also jumped at the chance to own rental property in the area. They have spent more than $13 billion buying up apartments, causing sales prices—and rents—to jump.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,290
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,488
- Change from May 2021: 24.9%
While rents in Mesa have climbed sharply, single-family homes have increased even more: The average sale price of a home is 55% higher in 2022 compared to 2020. This has kept would-be buyers in their rentals and shrunk the supply of rental units.
Also fueling rents is an influx of investor dollars. In November 2021, investors snapped up three apartment complexes in Mesa for more than $354.5 million, betting that the city’s high population growth will translate to higher rents.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,568
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $2,078
- Change from May 2021: 26.6%
The pandemic has fueled a massive rent increase across Miami as remote workers—particularly New Yorkers—flocked there for better weather, lower taxes, and fewer pandemic restrictions.
Armed with higher incomes in a rental market that seems cheap by comparison, renters who are looking in desirable neighborhoods are starting to offer more than what landlords are asking, which drives up prices in some areas.
In response, Miami-Dade County enacted a law in March 2022 that requires landlords to provide at least 60 days’ notice if a tenant’s rent will increase more than 5%, and extends the eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,419
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $1,751
- Change from May 2021: 27.6%
A growing population has caused Tampa’s rental rates to spike and vacancy rates to plummet to an all-time low of 4.4%. More renters are choosing to live on their own, which also exacerbates the amount of housing supply.
The supply levels aren’t due to increase anytime soon. The housing bubble hit Florida hard, and development hasn’t grown enough since then to meet the current needs.
- Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,956
- Median rent for a two-bedroom apartment: $2,066
- Change from May 2021: 31.8%
Nearly 4% of New Yorkers fled the city during the pandemic, eager for space and affordability. Rents plummeted to all-time lows in 2021, and renters enjoyed a temporary reprieve from the city’s legendary high rents.
With the pandemic entering a less acute phase, people are returning to the city as jobs open up, workers go back to the office, and remote learning ends. This has caused rents to rebound, particularly in wealthier neighborhoods, as landlords try to make up for lost income and deal with higher costs.

Sweltering temperatures in the metro Phoenix aren’t going anywhere this weekend.
The National Weather Service says high temperatures were expected to reach or pass 110 degrees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“We are in the midst of an excessive heat warning, and temperatures will be challenging record highs,” said James Sawtelle, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
An excessive heat warning means very high temperatures “even by local standards,” a National Weather Service warning issued Friday early morning reads.
The excessive heat warning will remain in effect until Sunday evening, when Phoenix residents can expect a slight reprieve with highs between 106 and 109 Monday through Wednesday, Sawtelle said.
Sawtelle urged people seek shelter from the heat indoors in air-conditioned spaces. He also recommended people use cars or buses to get around rather than travel by foot.
In addition, the National Weather Service advises people drink more water than usual and monitor those who may be at higher risk for heat-related complications, including children, pets and the elderly.
For a list of places to seek relief from the heat, visit Maricopa County’s map of cooling centers and hydration stations.
Sawtelle said Arizona residents may have an early start of summer rainfall to look forward to, with the latter part of June having a decent chance for above normal precipitation. The National Weather Service said there could be some isolated showers Friday and Saturday in the higher altitudes of southeastern Arizona.
