You might choose an 8ft container for a range of reasons:

• Limited space - great for courtyard homes, offices/workplaces with limited grounds or warehouses that want to maximise space

• They are more affordable and more common - 10ft containers are difficult to transport on the open ocean, so there are less centering Australia. Naturally, this drives price up.
