Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Put the 16 inch side along the 240 inch side for 4 rows This will make 4 rows of 15 or 60 containers leaving a space of 96 inches by 240 inches. Turn the containers 90 degrees, and make the rows with the 30 inch side along the 240 inch side. You can fit an additional 6 rows of 8, or 48 more boxes with no lost space.
This makes 108 containers per level times six levels would be 648 containers in the storage space. ANSWER: 648 will fit.
