A 20ft x 8ft bunded storage container with a galvanised open mesh floor, engineered for the safe, compliant storage of chemicals, oils and other hazardous liquids. Spills drain straight through the mesh into the sealed bund below, keeping drums and IBCs dry and accessible above. Delivered wind and watertight, UK-wide.
£6,500.00
This 20ft x 8ft open mesh floor bunded store is purpose-built for the safe, compliant storage of chemicals, oils, and other hazardous or potentially polluting liquids. Converted from a robust steel shipping container, it combines the security of a standard container with the secondary containment required for hazardous liquid storage on commercial, industrial, agricultural, and construction sites.
A galvanised open mesh floor sits above a sealed bund base. If a drum, IBC, or packaged good above leaks or spills, the liquid drains straight through the mesh and is captured safely in the bund below — keeping stored goods dry, accessible, and off any contaminated liquid, while preventing spills from reaching the ground or local drainage.

UK regulations require secondary containment (a “bund”) for any oil storage container holding over 200 litres, sized to at least 110% of the largest container’s capacity. This open mesh floor bunded store is designed to support that compliance requirement — always confirm your specific bund capacity and site requirements with our team before ordering, as requirements vary by substance stored and local Environment Agency guidance.
This 20ft end-access model is one of several bunded store configurations we stock:
– 10ft x 8ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Store — smaller footprint for lower-volume storage
– 20ft x 8ft Open Side Bunded Open Mesh Floor Store — adds full side-length door access for easier loading and inspection
– 20ft x 8ft Flat Floor Bunded Store — solid floor alternative
– 20ft x 8ft Raised Bunded Store — raised floor design
Delivered nationwide via flatbed or tilt-bed vehicle. Please confirm before ordering:
– Site access is suitable for delivery vehicle size
– Ground is level and firm enough to support the unit and bund contents
– Adequate space for unloading and positioning
What’s the difference between an open mesh floor and a flat floor bunded store?
An open mesh floor lets spilled liquid drain straight through into the bund below, keeping stored goods dry and off any contamination. A flat floor bunded store instead uses a solid raised floor with the bund built into the base structure.
Do I need a bunded store for oil storage in the UK?
Under the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001, oil storage containers over 200 litres generally require secondary containment sized to at least 110% of the largest container’s capacity. Speak to our team to confirm what applies to your specific use case.
Can this container be used for chemical storage as well as oil?
Yes — bunded stores like this are commonly used for a range of chemicals, oils, and hazardous liquids, subject to COSHH and site-specific requirements. Confirm compatibility with the substance you intend to store.
Is this container wind and watertight?
Yes, all bunded stores are supplied wind and watertight and inspected before dispatch.
