Question
On private land with firm ground.
You can store your container on private land with a hard, level base. Gravel, paving, or concrete work well. The corners take 500 kg of weight each, so soft ground sinks over time. Some rental firms offer to store your container at their depot for free. Public roads need a permit in most areas.
Did you know?
Many containers are stored in places that were never designed for storage. Construction sites, farms and industrial yards often use containers because they provide secure space without requiring a permanent building. Related questions
