Where we can put it

Drives, gardens, yards and sites

The same rules apply in every town we cover. If the panels can be carried in and the ground is firm, the unit can go there.

Illustration of a storage unit on a firm, level driveway
Driveways, patios and yardsThe most common spot. Block paving, concrete, tarmac or gravel, with enough room to open the door and walk in.

Gardens and grassRear gardens work if the ground is firm and there is a clear route in. We need at least 2,150 mm of height clearance along the way.
Illustration of a storage unit on uneven ground
Sites and uneven groundBuilding sites, school grounds, commercial premises and managed sites. A firm, semi-level surface is preferred; uneven ground may still be possible if agreed before installation.
  • The route in must be free of low branches, narrow gates and tight turns. No cranes, HGVs or HIABs: the panels come through by hand.
  • The unit is temporary and not fixed down, so planning permission is not usually needed. Check with the local planning authority for a listed property or a conservation area, or if it is staying long term.
  • Not sure your spot will work? Tell us about the access when you enquire and we will confirm it before anything is booked.

  • Minimum 2,150 mm height clearance on the route in
  • Weekday installations, Saturdays by appointment

  • Once loaded, the unit stays where it was built

Used, then collected

Keep it for four weeks or a lot longer. When you have finished and the unit is empty, we come back, dismantle it and take it away.
