Description
The 10ft Bar Container from Big Bear Containers is a top-quality, wind- and watertight steel unit engineered for secure, long-lasting performance.
This 10ft bar container is a compact, purpose-configured COR-TEN steel unit for portable bar and beverage service operations at events, festivals, private functions, and permanent venue installations. Its defining feature over other bar units in our range is the integrated steel awning — a structural steel canopy fitted to the container’s exterior, providing overhead weather protection for both bar operators and customers during service without requiring a separate marquee, gazebo, or canopy structure. The awning allows outdoor trading in wet or hot conditions while maintaining a clean, professional bar aesthetic. Confirm awning dimensions and mounting position with Big Bear Containers before ordering.
The unit has a confirmed internal volume of 16 m³ and internal dimensions of 2,840mm × 2,350mm × 2,393mm, providing a workable bar interior for a compact service setup. The door opening of 2,342mm wide × 2,280mm tall — nearly the full external width of the unit — may serve as the primary customer-facing service opening when open during trading hours. Confirm with Big Bear Containers how the bar is configured for customer service — whether a serving hatch, roll-up shutter, or open door format is used — before ordering, as this affects operational setup and positioning on site.
The default exterior color is RAL5013 Cobalt Blue, with any RAL color available on request for event theming or venue branding. Floor material is specifiable at order — choose between a wooden floor for a warmer aesthetic or a steel floor for heavy-duty durability. The lockbox and high-set door handles provide overnight security when the container is unattended. Two forklift pockets allow straightforward positioning on site. The unit is stackable — suitable for tiered or elevated bar configurations at larger events.
Note on payload figures: The supplier-stated maximum payload and cargo weight figures for this unit are inconsistent with the physical specification of a 10ft container — confirm accurate payload ratings with Big Bear Containers before use in any load-bearing or transport application. For guidance on temporary commercial structure compliance in the USA, refer to the FDA Food Code reference and confirm requirements with your local health authority before trading.

Construction & Durability
Every panel on this 10ft converted unit is factory-fresh one-trip steel, formed into corrugations that carry load across the wall rather than through it. That is why a container this size can be stacked several high fully laden and still open cleanly on a level pad.
Delivery & Site Preparation
Your 10ft converted unit arrives on a tilt-bed and is placed directly on your prepared pad. A short unit like this drops into tight yards and side lots that a 40ft delivery could never reach. Overhead clearance is the detail people forget: branches and low lines will stop a tilt delivery cold, so check the approach as well as the pad.
Why Buy From Big Bear Containers
Buying new means you see no wear at all: no dents, no patch welds, no previous cargo. That grading is the whole point: it tells you what you are paying for. Cross-shop 8ft x 10ft Containers, or start with the buyers guide if this is your first container.
