Site prep for the Triangle

Piedmont clay with mixed sandy loam — stable and container-friendly. We recommend concrete piers or a crushed-granite pad for permanent placement. Loblolly pine canopy is the #1 access blocker in older Raleigh neighborhoods — the 14ft vertical clearance rule trips a lot of buyers here, we verify tree heights on Street View before dispatch.

RTP and university campus deliveries often have strict insurance and gate-access documentation requirements; we carry CSC-current IICL-grade stock for lab and research use.

Permits

City of Raleigh allows containers on private property as accessory storage under 180 days without a permit. Over 180 days or commercial use requires a zoning compliance letter. Wake, Durham, and Orange counties unincorporated are all permissive.
