Condition now matters more than the calendar
Inspect the structural frame, roof, walls, doors and floor. A documented repair can be acceptable; active corrosion or water entry needs attention.
Placement affects aging
Keep the container off persistently wet ground, maintain drainage and leave room to inspect the underside and exterior. Touch up damaged coatings before corrosion spreads.
Modifications need maintenance
Added doors, windows, vents and roof penetrations create seams that should be inspected. Structural cuts also need proper reinforcement.
Service life begins with an appropriate condition inspection and a sound plan for supports and drainage.
Put these details in the request:
- Starting grade and repair history
- Drainage and climate exposure
- Coating and seal maintenance
- Quality of structural modifications
