Storage options during the build

We aren't expecting our Quonset to arrive until February, but we've been struggling with where on earth are we going to store the thing?! Apparently it will come on 2 pallets that are approx 2' wide x 3' high x 10' long. We realized that they wouldn't fit in the garage where we're renting because all of our stuff is hiding in there. The land has a shed, but it's not big enough to accommodate the pallets. There was also a 200 sq ft building but we tore it down and were debating rebuilding, but that is where the garage will go eventually. After much pondering and research, we have decided to go with renting an 8' x 20' shipping container. We are going to rent because that will take care of what to do with it after we're done and it's quite reasonable. We are just now deciding between 2 different companies here in Colorado: http://www.brekkestorage.com/ or http://swmobilestorage.com/. We should have a decision tomorrow, we are just seeing who will give us a better price. The shipping container also comes with a large lock and the door and is fairly tamper resistant. This will be useful not only for Quonset storage until we can build, but also while we're building a safe place to lock up tools and materials.
