How much furniture fits?
A 20ft container usually takes the contents of a two to three-bedroom house when packed well: beds, sofas, a dining table and chairs, white goods, wardrobes and around 40 to 60 boxes. For trades, it holds a good stock of tools, materials and small plant.
Packing tips
- Heavy items at the back and on the floor, light boxes on top.
- Stand sofas and mattresses on their ends along the side walls.
- Leave a walkway down the middle if you'll need things before you move out.
- Use pallets under anything that matters, and leave a small gap from the walls.
- Put a couple of moisture traps inside over winter to cut condensation.
