FAQs

Containers can be placed on almost any surface that is relatively level, smooth and firm. The doors also need level ground to keep opening smoothly. If your surface is soft or unstable we suggest spreading the weight over a concrete footing, railroad ties, asphalt or gravel, since containers are self-supporting at the four corners.

Containers need very little maintenance. That said, we recommend that you take care of the doors by greasing the door hinges and locking rods every 6 months. You may also want to occasionally check the door frame and roof for any signs of corrosion. Keeping both areas well painted will help protect against rust. If you see rust, sand it off and repaint.

During winter, containers can be prone to condensation forming on the ceiling which may drip down. This can become an issue if you’re storing papers or using your container as an office. An easy way to avoid this is have your ceiling spray foamed or insulate your container. We offer both these services.
