Portable Storage Containers for Events & Festivals in BC and Alberta
by Secure-Rite
The stress-free way to store festival and event gear
Keep your event gear secure, dry, and right where you need it all summer.
Running an event means moving a mountain of equipment, then finding a safe place to store it overnight in a field, parking lot, or temporary venue.
Stage hardware, sound equipment, merchandise, signage, catering supplies, and vendor gear all need secure storage between show days. Too often, that means piling everything under a tarp or leaving it inside an unlocked truck.
A portable storage container solves the problem.
It stays right on your site, holds everything in one place, and locks down when the crowd heads home. No late-night trips across town. No rain-soaked equipment. No replacing gear that disappeared in the dark.
Secure-Rite is an Okanagan-grown team with crews and yards across BC and Alberta. We love being part of the events that make a Western Canadian summer.
From a weekend market in Kelowna to a film set in Surrey, we’ll deliver a clean, secure sea can to your site on time.
Why event crews rent portable storage containers
A box truck ties up a vehicle and can still leave your equipment exposed.
An off-site storage unit means someone has to drive back and forth every morning and night. Replacing equipment because last year’s gear was damaged by rain is the most expensive option of all.
Portable storage containers fix the problem at its source.
Your storage comes to you, stays for the length of the event, and can be loaded at your own pace. For a multi-day festival or a season-long market, that can mean the difference between a calm setup and a daily scramble.
It can also protect your budget.
Outdoor event gear is an easy target when it sits exposed overnight without permanent security. A steel sea can with a welded lockbox makes theft much harder.
Where on-site storage containers earn their keep
A sea can can help behind the scenes at almost any summer event across BC and Alberta.
Festivals and fairs: Store stage hardware, barricades, signage, vendor supplies, and merchandise on site and keep them locked up for several days.
The Calgary Stampede or Abbotsford Agrifair: Give vendors, sponsors, and hospitality crews secure storage near the grounds or elsewhere in the city.Or maybe you need an air conditioned office for your team like the Abbotsford Agrifair!
Concerts and tournaments: Keep sound equipment, lighting, tents, and team gear close to the action and protected overnight.
Weddings and private events: Store rented decor, furniture, glassware, and other supplies during setup and teardown, especially around Penticton and the South Okanagan.
Farmers markets: Leave canopies, tables, and stock in place instead of loading and unloading them every weekend.
Film and TV productions: Store props, set pieces, and wardrobe at Lower Mainland locations that don’t have facilities of their own.
Whether you need a storage container in Calgary, Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Surrey/Vancouver, or Prince George, on-site storage helps keep the whole operation organized.
Secure and weather-ready, day and night
Most event theft happens during the quiet hours, overnight or on weekends.
A shipping container is one of the toughest storage options you can place on a temporary site. The walls are made of steel, and every Secure-Rite unit comes with a welded, secure lockbox that shields the padlock from bolt cutters.
When a thief can’t get in quickly, they’re more likely to move on.
Western Canadian summers can be rough on equipment too.
A Calgary afternoon can turn into a hailstorm. The Lower Mainland can bring rain to an August film shoot without much warning.
Our moving containers are weatherproof and ventilated, helping sound boards, costumes, printed signage, and other supplies stay dry and ready to use.
Dry gear lasts longer.
Sizing and delivery that fit your event
The right event storage container rental depends on what you need to store and how much space you have on site.
| What you’re storing | Best rental option |
|---|---|
| Most event gear and standard parking-lot sites | 20ft storage container |
| Large festivals, productions, and multi-vendor events | 40ft or high-cube sea container |
| Small kits and tight spaces | 6ft or 10ft storage unit |
| Catering supplies, beverages, and florals | Buy a Refrigerated container, or Reefer |

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a storage container for an event in BC or Alberta?
The cost depends on the container size, rental length, location, and whether you need a standard or specialty unit.
Billing is prorated after the first month, so you only pay for the time you use. Browse available options at shop.secure-rite.com and get an instant quote for exact pricing.
Can a shipping container be delivered directly to a festival or venue?
Yes.
We use our own tilt-deck fleet and place the sea can where you need it, including sites with limited space. A free on-site assessment confirms access before delivery, and the placement is backed by our guarantee.
How secure are storage containers for overnight event gear?
Very secure.
Each shipping container is made of steel and includes a welded lockbox that shields the padlock from bolt cutters. It’s a much tougher target than a tent, trailer, or truck.
How far ahead should I book a summer rental?
