We recommend you take the time to prepare the site prior to delivery. Your drop-site should not require slope changes or moving over difficult terrain on the delivery day. When placing the container, the weight needs to be distributed between the 4 corners. Concrete and asphalt are excellent surfaces but stone pavers, railroad ties, or gravel work as well. If the drop-site is not level, the doors will pinch making them hard to operate.

If you have any concerns about your drop site, we recommend that you contact your local land grading company or landscaping company. They can level and clear the site by:

  • Laying down heavy-duty landscaping fabric. 

  • Set out 3-4 inches of coarse gravel, with a couple of feet of overlap 

  • Use a straight board and level to ensure the site is graded correctly
