Well, it’s getting close to that time of year again.  Old man winter is coming down the path and will be knocking on the door before we know it.  And as the leaves and snow begins to pile up, it’s a good idea to make sure that your shipping container is in tip top shape to withstand the pressures of winter.

The key area to look at when winterizing your container is the paint and potential rust spots.  You’ll want to make sure that there are no areas where rust can start, or spread, when the freeze thaw cycle begins.  You could clean and repaint the entire container, but that could be an investment worth more than the container itself.  Or, you could take the advice of ContainerAuction.com and, “If you simply want to remove the rust and repaint the affected areas, we recommend getting a wire brush and some sand paper, vinegar, and direct to metal, or DTM paint.” Follow the link to learn more about repainting a shipping container.
