Lease-to-Own Containers,Yours at the End.

You pick the container, we quote a monthly payment and term, and the unit is delivered to your site. You use it from day one, and once the final payment is made the container is yours outright.

It depends on the container's size, condition and your delivery location. Tell us what you need and where, and we'll return one itemized quote covering the monthly payment, the term and delivery.

Yes. Ask for a payout figure at any time and settle the remaining balance — the container is yours the moment it's paid.

Every unit is inspected, wind and watertight, with working doors and intact seals — the same standard we hold every container to. Your contents stay dry.

Yes — jobsite and rural delivery are the most common. You'll need level, firm ground and clear access for the tilt-deck truck; we'll confirm site requirements when we quote.

No. Valleyview Containers doesn’t rent containers, short term or long term. Lease-to-own means monthly payments on a 20ft or 40ft container, with no giving it back at the end of the term. The other option is buying outright. Either way you keep the container after the job, for the next project or for storage; on lease-to-own it’s yours outright once the last payment or an early payout is made.

It depends on your cash flow. Paying cash makes sense when the money is set aside. Lease-to-own suits a buyer who needs the storage on site now but would rather keep cash free for crew, equipment or a new season. To compare, ask Valleyview to quote the same container both ways: the cash price plus delivery, and the lease-to-own monthly payment, term and delivery. Your accountant can help you weigh the two.

Ask for the full terms in writing, starting with the ones Valleyview doesn’t publish: whether there’s a credit check, what interest or financing cost is built into the payments, and what all the payments add up to. Also ask how an early payout figure is worked out, what happens if a payment is late, and who is responsible for insuring the container during the term.

Tell Valleyview what you’re storing, the size you have in mind, new or used, and the delivery address or nearest town, plus anything about access such as gates, slopes or overhead wires. Mention lease-to-own so the quote comes back as a monthly payment, term and delivery. Use the quote form on this page or call (778) 694-4050. The quote is free, and asking for one doesn’t commit you.

That’s set out on your quote. Lease-to-own is meant to avoid a big upfront outlay, and Valleyview quotes the monthly payment, the term and delivery together as one itemized package before you commit. Delivery is its own line, priced by distance and site access. Whether a first payment, a deposit or the delivery charge is due at the start isn’t published, so ask, and have the answer written into the quote.

There’s no published standard term; it’s quoted for your container alongside the monthly payment and delivery, so you know the length of the agreement and the number of payments before you sign. If you have a different term in mind, ask whether it’s possible and how it would change the monthly payment.

Yes. Once the last payment is made, or you settle the balance early, the container is yours outright and stays where it is, with nothing to hand back or collect. How ownership is recorded during the term, and what document confirms it once the balance is paid, isn’t published, so ask for both with your quote. If you later want it moved, ask whether Valleyview can move it and what that would cost.

Choose a 20ft for tools and materials and a 40ft for volume. A 20ft holds about 1,170 cubic feet, a standard 40ft about 2,390, and a 40ft high cube about 2,690 with a foot more height. A 40ft also needs more room for the delivery truck. Lease-to-own is offered on 20ft and 40ft containers, so for a 10ft or a refrigerated unit, ask when you request a quote. Not sure? Describe what you’re storing and Valleyview will size it.

You can ask for either. Which new or used units are available on lease-to-own is confirmed with your quote, and the monthly payment reflects the condition you choose. A used cargo-worthy unit shows dents and surface rust from its working life, but no holes. A new one-trip unit has straight walls and fresh factory paint, which suits a site where looks matter.

You can ask for a specific unit, and Valleyview confirms whether it’s available on lease-to-own. The inventory page lists units physically in the Kamloops yard, with photos and condition notes where available and unit numbers where legible. You can also see them in person at D3-1764 Kelly Douglas Rd, open seven days a week from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Name the listing when you request your quote.

That depends on your agreement, since Valleyview doesn’t publish whether a container can be relocated during the term. If moves are likely, for example a contractor following projects, say so before you sign and get the answer written into the agreement, including who arranges each move and how it’s priced. Every new spot needs firm, level ground and clear access for the truck, and check with the municipality or regional district there before it goes.

Not without checking first. Whether a container can be painted, cut or altered during the term isn’t published, so ask before you sign and have the answer written into the agreement. If you already know you want company colours, a logo or a modification, raise it when you ask for the quote, so Valleyview can confirm whether that work can be done before delivery as part of the agreement.

Possibly; it’s decided build by build and confirmed with your quote. Lease-to-own is offered on 20ft and 40ft containers, so tell Valleyview which build you want, such as an insulated site office, a workshop or a storage unit with an added door. Modifications are done in Valleyview’s Kamloops yard before delivery and itemized line by line, so you see the build alongside the monthly payment and term.

No. Lease-to-own is for Valleyview’s standard storage containers. Container homes and garden suites are quoted per project, with their own design, engineering and permits, and most owners finance them through their own lender, so ask your lender how it handles a container build. Before you design anything, check with your municipality or regional district what’s allowed on your lot.

It may be possible; whether several units can go on lease-to-own together, and how they’re priced, is confirmed with your quote. List each container’s size, condition and delivery address when you ask. If you’re buying several containers outright instead, multi-unit orders get volume pricing, matching specs and coordinated delivery, with no fixed minimum quantity.

Yes. Valleyview offers lease-to-own across BC from its Kamloops yard, and delivery to your site is quoted up front with the monthly payment and term. Delivery is priced by distance and site access, so a remote site or a long gravel road is reflected in that line. Vancouver Island, Sunshine Coast and Gulf Island sites are ferry-served, with the ferry part of the delivery quote.

Usually a 20ft, or a 10ft where a 20ft will not fit. A 20ft holds the tools and equipment for a specific job, needs less delivery room than a 40ft and is easier to move to the next site. A 10ft has half the footprint of a 20ft, though supply is limited. A 20ft double-door unit opens at both ends, which helps with job-site staging. A 40ft only makes sense where the truck has room to reach the spot.

It means the shell keeps weather out: no daylight through the walls or roof, and no leaks at the roof, seams or door seals. Valleyview inspects its containers for wind and watertight condition before sale. It does not mean the inside stays dry in every season, because condensation can form on the steel when temperatures swing, even in a container with no leaks. Vents, desiccants or insulation help with that.

The 20ft refrigerated container, or reefer, is listed at $27,000–$30,000 plus tax and delivery. It has insulated walls and a working refrigeration unit for cold or frozen storage. It needs 3-phase power on site, typically 460V, so also plan for a qualified electrician to install the outlet and wiring, or a diesel generator on an off-grid site. Confirm your electrical service before ordering; Valleyview can advise on the requirements.

Yes. Companies, farms and other organizations can buy containers outright or on lease-to-own terms. Give the business name when you request a quote, and say whether your purchasing team or funder needs a particular quote format or billing arrangement, so it’s set up correctly from the start. Business buyers can ask for an itemized quote and a formal invoice, and the payment terms are set out on the invoice.

Winter delivery depends on the roads and your site, and the date is agreed when you order. Frozen ground can make some sites easier to reach, and remote sites are planned around seasonal access windows. Snow, ice and road conditions can still move a date, and Valleyview’s terms exclude liability for weather delays. Clear snow from the path and drop spot, and pick a spot that stays firm and dry after the thaw.

It depends on the use, the site and your local government. An office or workshop can sit on a slab, gravel pad or blocking without a poured foundation, but one people work in may be reviewed like a small building, with foundation and anchoring details on stamped drawings. A home or garden suite does not sit on blocks: the engineer chooses piers, screw piles, a grade beam or a slab from the soil, frost depth and loads. Ask your municipality or regional district before the container ships.

Not on and off. Intermittent heating is harder on a container than no heating at all, because each warm-up and cool-down takes the inside air through the dew point and leaves moisture on the cold steel. If you plan to heat the space, insulate it first with foam that seals against the steel, starting with the ceiling. For storage you never heat, rely on vents, desiccant and keeping wet gear out.

Possibly several, so check before the layout is final. Besides zoning and any building permit, ask your local government about a business licence or a temporary use permit. If you will serve food or drink, ask your regional health authority what it reviews, and ask about liquor licensing if alcohol is involved. Tell Valleyview what you will sell so sinks and electrical are planned into the build, because plumbing is cheaper to rough in at the yard than to cut in later.

Yes. Valleyview delivers to remote work sites, forest service roads and end-of-road locations across BC, and plans the approach, turnaround and set-down before the truck leaves the yard. Operations can order storage, tool cribs, equipment enclosures and 40ft high cube crew units with matching specs, delivered in stages. Crew housing is an occupied building, so check permit and drawing requirements with whoever has jurisdiction before you order.
