We like to keep things as easy as possible. For our container-mounted shelters, all you need to do is ensure that your site is level and compacted. To hold the containers in place, you can use either ballast in the containers or concrete footings, or a combination of the two methods – whichever works best for you.
For pole-mounted shelters, the site requirements are also very straightforward. A clear, level site is usually all that we need, along with information about ground conditions.
