Typically, no, because it is not a permanent structure, but we always suggest checking with your local building department for the most up to date information. This is a benefit to portable, non-permanent structures.

Can containers be set on the ground, or do they need airflow below?
A solid base such as concrete or gravel with good drainage is ideal. Our recommendation is to set containers on 4×4’s or 4×6’s, especially if they are set on soft ground/ grass.
Is there any site prep?
We strongly advise selecting a flat and level surface for the placement of your container. In the event that such a surface is not available, we highly recommend taking measures to ensure proper leveling of the container. Should you decide to position or relocate the container in an area such as grass or soft ground, we kindly request that the ground be sufficiently dry. This precautionary measure aims to prevent any potential complications such as our vehicles becoming immobilized, which may result in additional charges.
Can storage containers be stacked?
Yes.
