Container Delivery in Savannah

Savannah was founded in 1733 on the Savannah River, is the seat of Chatham County, and is the site of the Garden City container terminal. Deliveries reach Chatham, Effingham, Bryan, Liberty and Bulloch counties. Delivery areas include the Landmark Historic District, the Victorian District, Thomas Square Streetcar District, the Starland District, Ardsley Park, Chatham Crescent, Baldwin Park, Midtown, Southside, Georgetown, Isle of Hope, Sandfly, Windsor Forest, Cuyler-Brownville, Gordonston and Coffee Bluff.

The City of Savannah and unincorporated Chatham County both have their zoning administered by the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission, and Savannah's current code, adopted in 2019 and known locally as NewZO, treats a shipping container differently from an ordinary shed, so a residential placement needs a determination for your specific parcel rather than an assumption.

Savannah Use Cases

Uses for Containers in Savannah

Port and Drayage Overflow

Garden City Terminal is the container terminal at the Port of Savannah, and the trucking, transloading and warehousing around it need ground storage. An owned container gives a drayage or transload operation storage it controls, with no per diem running on a steamship line's box.

Manufacturing and Supplier Storage

Around Savannah, from Gulfstream and JCB to the Hyundai Metaplant supplier network in Bryan County, a plant or supplier can use a container to hold tooling, packaging, spare parts and staged materials at the plant fence line rather than in rented warehouse space across the county.

Coastal Storm Season Readiness

Hurricane season calls for planning, and a steel container is one way to do it. A Wind and Water Tight or Cargo Worthy box can hold records, equipment, generators and belongings dry and locked in one place you can reach quickly.

Historic District Renovation

A restoration crew working in the Landmark Historic District or the Victorian District can have little room to stage materials. A container placed on the lane or in the rear yard, where the rules allow it, can keep salvaged millwork, heart pine and new material out of the weather and out of the square.

Island and Marina Property Storage

On Wilmington, Whitemarsh, Skidaway and Tybee, a container can hold boat gear, outboards, crab traps, kayaks and yard equipment. Salt air reaches every surface, so rinse the container yearly and touch up any scratch.

Farm and Timber Storage

In Effingham, Bryan and Bulloch counties, a container can hold feed, seed, chemicals, irrigation parts, chainsaws and implements dry and locked, out at the field rather than back at the house.

What to Know About Savannah Container Delivery

A few things shape how a delivery goes in this area:

  • Coastal ground is sandy with a high water table, and low-lying lots hold water after heavy rain and on king tides. Setting the container on gravel, blocks or timbers keeps the floor out of standing water and the doors square.
  • The Landmark Historic District has tight access. Narrow one-way streets, squares a truck cannot circle, live oaks with low canopy, on-street parking on both sides, and lanes behind the houses that can be the only real route in. Plan the approach with the driver before the appointment, and check with the city about using the right-of-way if any part of the set happens from the street.
  • Island and marsh-edge properties on Wilmington, Whitemarsh, Skidaway and Tybee can mean causeway routing, soft shoulders and occasional tidal flooding on the approach road. Delivery windows there are worth confirming against the tide.
  • Salt air is hard on steel. A Wind and Water Tight or Cargo Worthy box on the coast rewards a look at the roof and the door gaskets on arrival, and paint touch-up where the finish is thin.
  • Late summer and fall bring hurricane watches, and weather can move a delivery date, so avoid fixing a hard deadline on a September delivery.
  • Paved industrial yards in Pooler, Garden City and Port Wentworth give a truck room to maneuver.

Savannah Container Questions

Do not assume it. Savannah's zoning ordinance expressly bars shipping containers from being used as accessory dwelling units, and the city's previous code stated plainly that shipping containers are not accessory structures. Before you buy, call the Metropolitan Planning Commission at (912) 651-1440 with your address and ask whether a container is permitted on that parcel and under what conditions, then confirm the permit path with City of Savannah Development Services at (912) 651-6530. Savannah's code restricts containers outside industrial districts and active construction sites, so the zoning district on your parcel matters.
Georgia pricing starts at $2,067 delivered for a 20ft Wind and Water Tight container in Savannah, with the depot about 13.7 miles from town. Delivered pricing is quoted to a specific ZIP code, so give us yours and the quote shows the delivered price for your address.
A shipping container spends its working life crossing oceans on a deck, in salt spray, in weather. Corten steel forms a stable surface layer that slows corrosion. What matters is the grade you choose and how you set it. Wind and Water Tight carries a 5 year warranty against leaks, Cargo Worthy carries 5 years, and a 1-Trip container carries 10 years structural and no-leak. Set it level, keep the roof clear of standing debris, and touch up paint where the finish gets thin.
