Frequently asked questions
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes, you are welcome to pop to our yard and view our available stock. Ring before you set off.
How does delivery work?
We are able to offer delivery at extra cost. We'll just need some simple information from you: your address, whether there are any obstructions like low hanging wires or trees, and whether the ground is soft.
What is the difference between one trip and second hand?
A one trip container was built abroad and shipped here once with cargo inside, so it is the nearest thing to new you can buy. A second hand one has retired from shipping.
Both are the same size. Come and look at them side by side in the yard.
What do I need to get ready?
A way in wide enough for a lorry, firm level ground, nothing overhead, and someone there to point.
