How to Take Site Photos
Why would we need a site photo?
Before buying a shipping container it is essential to make certain that delivery to your site is possible. This is especially important if delivery is to you back garden where access is often restricted by trees, fences, overhead cables or the proximity of your neighbours' properties.
Our contracted drivers have a reputation of being able to handle any container delivery with great skill and precision - even the most challenging! So whether it's a very tight spot, tricky terrain, or a short window of opportunity on a busy road, we will do our best to deliver the service you require, but we need clear and accurate details beforehand to avoid, or prepare for, any potential difficulties. An aborted delivery is very expensive!
We've put this guide together to help you with taking your pictures.

"The container is in situ and it is as new, just perfect. Your driver was amazing and made sure everything was spot on before he left. A company opposite us has four on site and ours makes them look very secondhand indeed. Thanks again. We have already had so really good comments and without doubt, if asked, we will give them your details."Alligator Dynamic Drapes
