When we fit the bund, it is generally 12in high, but if you require a different height, then please do let us know. Many farmers have a 6in high bund, as it is less of a trip hazard. The bunded floors are either a steel checkerplate tray or steel raised mesh floor.

Construction

All our chemical stores are built from a steel called: Cor-Ten. Cor-Ten is a high tensile steel that can withstand many of the outside elements. The steel thickness is 1.6mm. They have corrugated panels on all sides and roof. The structure is made up of corrugated panels, corner posts, top and bottom rails and corner castings.

Doors

The doors are either original shipping container doors (on all the 20ft units) and fabricated or original doors on the second hand and new 10ft containers. The double doors are ONLY on one end, that is either 8ft end on a 10ft and 20ft unit.

Floors

The Floors have been adapted; as these chemical stores were shipping containers originally, whereby the floors are made of 25mm marine treated plywood. We know wood is not acceptable for a chemical store, so we either overlay the wood with a steel checkerplate tray or replace the wood with a steel sub-floor and fit a steel raised mesh floor over the top. One section of the floor is removal. Both floors are bunded to hold any spillage, then the chemicals do not leak out into the environment.
