You need to consider the following factors when choosing your location for a shipping container:
Size of Area
You need to have enough space for the container and the delivery truck to access and manoeuvre.
Ground Stability
You need to have a level and firm ground that can support the weight of the container and prevent it from sinking or tilting.
Footings
You need to have a suitable footings for the container to sit on, such as wooden beams, concrete piers, concrete pad, or piles.
Council Permits
Council permits are not normally required when the rental container is on your property. But if your neighbours are not happy with it & are likely to complain – this may cause some problems. Speak to your neighbours first and if in doubt, ask your local council.
