A solid base such as concrete or gravel with good drainage is ideal. Our recommendation is to set containers on 4×4’s or 4×6’s, especially if they are set on soft ground/ grass.
Is there any site prep?
We strongly advise selecting a flat and level surface for the placement of your container. In the event that such a surface is not available, we highly recommend taking measures to ensure proper leveling of the container. Should you decide to position or relocate the container in an area such as grass or soft ground, we kindly request that the ground be sufficiently dry. This precautionary measure aims to prevent any potential complications such as our vehicles becoming immobilized, which may result in additional charges.
