The starting point: the size of the container itself
A standard shipping container comes in the usual 20- or 40-foot formats, which in approximate terms is about 6 or 12 metres long. That is the physical basis of the module, and it gives a first reference for how much space the structure itself takes up.
What needs to be added to the container
The module itself is not all the space needed. You also have to allow for:
- Access and manoeuvring space for the installation, especially on the day of transport.
- A usage perimeter, if the planned training includes activity just outside the module.
- Distance to plot boundaries or neighbouring buildings, which can vary depending on the ground and local regulations.
Why this matters before asking for a quote
Many businesses rule out having their own training space because they assume they need a large area, the kind that requires an industrial unit or spacious premises. With a shipping container, the approach is different: it makes use of a space that often already exists — an underused car park, a garden area, an unused plot — without needing an area comparable to that of a conventional gym.
Cases where the available space already shapes the decision
Small or irregular plots
A small or irregularly shaped plot can still be suitable, as long as the module and its access space fit. You don’t need a large or regular plot.
Spaces already partly in use
Areas that already have another use — part of a car park, the side of a garden — can host the module without having to clear all the available space.
How to know if your land is suitable
The most direct way to find out is to tell us the approximate dimensions and the current use of the space you have in mind. From there, we assess whether it fits as it is or whether it is better to adjust the location within the same plot.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a large plot to install a Supercubo Pro?
No. The module starts from the size of a standard shipping container, designed to fit into spaces that are currently underused, not into large areas.
What if my land is irregularly shaped?
It can still be suitable, as long as the module and its access and manoeuvring space for the installation fit.
Do I need to leave free space around the module?
It depends on the intended use: if part of the training takes place just outside, it is worth allowing some extra perimeter.
Can I install it if part of my land is already taken up with something else?
Yes, in many cases a specific part of the available space is used without needing to clear the whole plot.
How do I know if my particular space is suitable before asking for a quote?
Tell us the approximate dimensions and the use you want to give it; that is the first step in any real assessment.
