Condition first, price second. Before a cargo-worthy unit leaves the depot it is checked wind and watertight. As-is is the low-cost grade and is not sold watertight — think patched repairs, a soft section of floor or a door seal that no longer closes cleanly — and the faults on an as-is unit are listed for you up front. Single-trip (new) units usually look better but can carry marks from their one voyage. If the contents must stay dry, choose cargo-worthy or new.

Grade for a coast that is both salty and wet

The Capes have a proper winter, and Geographe Bay air is salty all year. A container holding furniture, wine, cartons or anything valuable should be cargo-worthy, which is checked wind and watertight before it leaves the depot, or new single-trip. New single-trip is worth a look for holiday homes and wineries where the container is visible to guests and appearance counts.

As-is is the cheapest grade and is not sold watertight. It can be sensible for a vineyard's posts, wire and irrigation gear, or a builder's bricks and pavers. We tell you what is wrong with a particular as-is unit before quoting it, so there are no surprises.

Holiday house, vineyard or build site — the size that suits

For a holiday house in Dunsborough or on the Busselton foreshore, a 10ft or 20ft tucked beside the garage usually holds the owner's lock-up gear, the linen and the outdoor furniture that renters should not touch. A vineyard or a cellar-door business with a hardstand yard gets more for its money from a 40ft, which offers double the floor of a 20ft for a single trip down the highway. Builders on the Vasse and Yalyalup estates tend to want a 20ft that fits the front of the lot without blocking the slab.

Height is its own question. A high cube gives an extra foot of clearance, which matters for stacked barrels on pallets, tall shelving or a ride-on with a rollover frame. Buy the headroom only if the contents need it; otherwise a standard-height unit does the same job.

Delivering into Busselton.

Busselton itself is flat and low, with sandy ground and a high winter water table near the Vasse and the wetlands behind the coast, so a lawn or paddock that looks solid in summer can be soft for months after the rains begin. Dunsborough and the Yallingup hills bring sloping blocks and narrow driveways under peppermint trees. Around Margaret River many properties sit at the end of gravel tracks through karri, marri and jarrah, with low limbs and tight bends that suit a tilt-tray only if the driver can see a clear line. Holiday-home streets can be narrow and crowded in peak season. Photos taken from the road, along the drive and at the spot answer most questions, and marking the overhanging branches that will need trimming saves a second trip.
