Delivered in 3–7 business days
Almost new. One overseas voyage, then retired for sale. A 9'6" outer wall on this 20ft High Cube shell - perfect for backyard office (premium).
20ft High Cube One-Trip units are the rarest size-grade combo in our Aurora yard, and we sell out of them fast. The footprint is small enough to slip into a tight side yard or a Stapleton-area townhome lot, but the 9'6" exterior buys you the headroom that turns a metal box into a real room. Once interior framing and finished flooring eat into the cavity, you’re still looking at an 8-foot finished ceiling instead of the cramped 7'2" of a Standard 20.
The One-Trip pedigree means single-voyage paint, dry deck, and gaskets that haven’t yet baked under a decade of equatorial sun. Builders heading for finished interiors - premium short-term rentals, designer backyard offices, photography studios with skylights cut through the roof - start here because every dollar spent on the shell saves three at the finish stage.
For Aurora customers building under a strict HOA height envelope, the extra foot also gives breathing room for rooftop solar conduit, mini-split line sets, and acoustic insulation without bumping the structure into a variance discussion.
