Like the delivery, your container is best suited to being placed on hard standing level ground. This will avoid the container 'racking out'. Racking out is where one corner of the container becomes un-level, leaving the container doors difficult to open and close properly. This often happens if the container is placed on grass or gravel and then loaded with the weight un-evenly distributed, leading to the container sinking. Each corner must be well supported to avoid racking out. If a full concrete base isn't an option, we recommend level concrete slabs at each of the four corners of the container, or railway sleepers under the door and end wall, to keep the container level.
