Running out of space or starting a bold new project in New Orleans? If your project calls for something truly unique, something that grabs attention, Viva Container is ready to help. We'll match you with the perfect shipping container for whatever you have in mind. Below, you'll find everything you need: details on our offers, what's currently in stock, inspiring local examples of how containers are being used in New Orleans, and all the local rules you'll want to know.
We know New Orleans moves fast, and we try our best to match the vibe. That's why Viva Container offers swift delivery within just 2 to 5 business days directly to your location. But if you'd rather handle transportation yourself, that’s totally fine too! You can easily arrange to pick up your container from our New Orleans depot. Whatever option suits your project best, our goal is to make the entire process as stress-free and seamless as possible for you.
The best part is that all of our containers are backed by warranties, so you know your container can last a long time.
But what truly sets us apart is our diverse range of containers- from standard containers to specialty ones, there is no project for which we can’t find a matching container. Ready to find your match? Let’s dive into our inventory and pick out the perfect container for you.
Shipping containers have become a practical and popular choice across New Orleans for a variety of storage and project needs. With the city’s hot, humid summers and frequent rainstorms, having a weatherproof and durable solution is essential, and these containers are built to handle just that. They are available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, including the 40ft high cube option.
Important note: Buying used containers doesn't mean compromising on quality. Our used containers are carefully inspected for strength, security, and watertight seals. They’ve got years of life left and are perfect for long-term use.
If you feel like none of the standard shipping containers offer what you need, or if you're starting to have doubts, don’t give up on shipping containers just yet. We’ve got something a bit more unique for you, too. These are our specialty containers- high cube, open side, and double door models. Each one offers a unique feature you’re going to love and might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
In New Orleans, space is precious. That’s why the best solution might not be the biggest container, but the highest. That's what high cube containers have to offer.
With the same footprint, these containers offer 1 foot of extra vertical space. While standard containers are typically 8 feet 6 inches tall, high cube containers are 9 feet 6 inches tall.
We offer 20ft high cube containers in two condition : new and used.
New Orleans is a city full of energy and history, but big challenges too. From sudden storms to tight streets, and from street festivals to pop-up shops, people here need smart, flexible solutions. That’s exactly where our double door containers come in.
These containers open on both ends, which makes them super easy to load and unload, perfect for busy events or storing emergency supplies during hurricane season. You can grab things from one side and still add more from the other.
Businesses use them, too, in New Orleans. In areas where rent is high and space is limited, double door containers can become pop-up stores, food stands, or even small workshops. Artists turn them into mobile galleries. And construction crews love the easy access from both ends. They are available in two sizes:
One notable example of how shipping containers are used in New Orleans in unconventional, sometimes unthinkable, ways is Box Spot NOLA, which is situated in the center of the Upper Ninth Ward. This vibrant community center is built entirely from repurposed containers and serves as a hub for small businesses, local entrepreneurs, chefs, and artists. It's basically a walkable marketplace with everything from distinctive boutiques and local barbershops to tasty food vendors and fresh juice bars.
And the design? It’s something you can’t miss. With bright colors and bold murals covering each container, Box Spot NOLA immediately catches the eye. Its industrial style has been cleverly reimagined into warm, welcoming spaces that feel creative and alive.
However, Box Spot isn’t just about commerce. It’s about community empowerment. Many of the entrepreneurs are from the neighborhood. Their businesses reflect the culture and flavor of the community. In exchange, the container model offers something priceless: affordable, flexible space to begin and grow their dreams, to start their own small businesses.
Shipping container use in New Orleans is strictly regulated, both for temporary storage and for permanent structures such as homes or business premises. The city enforces strict guidelines related to placement, duration of use, permits, and design standards. That’s why, before buying a shipping container, you should always check the rules to make sure your container can be compliant. Don’t worry, we will give you a rough outline of the most important things you have to keep in mind.
It is advisable to consult with the New Orleans permitting office or a local architect familiar with container regulations to ensure full compliance before purchasing or installing shipping containers for any use within city limits.
