What is the best surface to place a storage container?

First and foremost, it is very important to place your shipping container on an even surface.

Placement on an even surface ensures that your container's doors will open and close properly, and helps to protect the overall structural integrity of your shipping container for years to come.


It is also recommended that containers are placed on dry and hard surfaces. We recommend concrete, asphalt, wooden blocks, railroad ties, or gravel.
