What Makes a Conex Box So Versatile?
The conex box was originally designed by the U.S. military as a rugged, stackable transport unit, and that DNA makes it one of the most adaptable structures you can buy. The corrugated steel walls resist wind, rain, and forced entry. The standardized dimensions mean they can be placed on nearly any flat surface, transported on standard trucks, and combined in multi-unit configurations. A single 40ft conex box provides 300 square feet of enclosed space – roughly the size of a large studio apartment.
Tampa homeowners and businesses use conex boxes for everything from secure tool and equipment storage to fully finished tiny homes, guest houses, backyard offices, and retail pop-up locations. Because the steel shell is self-supporting, site preparation and foundation requirements are simpler and less expensive than conventional construction.
Choosing the Right Conex Box
The two biggest decisions when buying a conex box are size and condition. If you need a compact workspace or storage unit, a 20ft conex box is efficient and easy to place. For living spaces, workshops, or commercial builds, the 40ft size gives you room for a full floor plan. High Cube variants add an extra foot of ceiling height, which is especially valuable if you plan to insulate and finish the interior.
Condition grades range from One-Trip (virtually new) to As-Is (heavy wear, lowest price). For most conversion projects, Cargo Worthy offers the best balance of structural quality and affordability. Whatever your project calls for, our team can walk you through the options and help you find the right conex box at the right price.

Frequently Asked Questions
A conex box is another name for a standard intermodal shipping container. The term originated from the U.S. military's Container Express (CONEX) system in the 1950s. Today, conex box and shipping container are used interchangeably to describe the same corrugated steel storage and transport units available in 20ft and 40ft lengths.
We carry four standard sizes: 20ft Standard, 40ft Standard, 20ft High Cube, and 40ft High Cube. Standard-height units stand 8 feet 6 inches tall, while High Cube units are 9 feet 6 inches. All units are 8 feet wide. The 20ft size provides about 150 square feet of floor space and the 40ft size provides approximately 300 square feet.
Yes. Conex boxes are increasingly popular as the structural shell for homes, offices, studios, and commercial spaces. The corrugated steel walls are designed to withstand ocean transport and can easily support insulation, framing, plumbing, and electrical systems. Permits are required for habitable structures in most Tampa Bay jurisdictions.
Conex boxes are delivered on a tilt-bed truck. The driver backs into your property, tilts the trailer bed, and slides the container off onto your prepared surface. You will need a flat, level area with enough clearance for the truck to access the drop-off point. Most deliveries in the Tampa area are completed within 3 to 7 business days.
