West of Gympie the blocks get big: lifestyle acres, hobby farms, grazing, and a lot of horses. Delivery is usually straightforward because there is space to work. A badly placed box is still a nuisance for years.
Saddles, rugs, bridles and feed do not like damp, and they are too expensive to leave in a tin lean-to. Rack saddles off the floor, hang rugs where air moves, and keep feed in rodent-proof bins rather than open bags. Vents high and low help. A light inside makes the early start less unpleasant.
Put the box near the stables or the yards, doors facing the way you walk, on firm ground so you are not carrying a saddle through mud. A 20ft suits most horse places. A second box, or a 40ft, splits tack from feed if you are tired of them sharing a smell.
A sidelifter placing a 40ft wants about 30 metres of working room and firm ground. Most Widgee properties have that, which is unusual compared with the valley and the coast. Check the gate, any grid, powerlines near the sheds, and whether the track softens after rain. Say if it has to land against a particular fence or beside an existing shed.
Hay wants high, dry ground and a weather-tight grade, with air around the bales. An as-seen unit is fine for steel, posts and wire and is not sold as weather-tight, so do not put feed in it. Workshops want afternoon shade and a sensible power run. Keep the pad out of the gully.
From Gympie it is only a short run west, and the container is already there to load. Freight is in the quote. Buying is the normal choice because the store is permanent. Hire covers a short job.
Widgee, Widgee Crossing, Lower Wonga, Glastonbury and Fishermans Pocket are 4570. Crossing south and a paddock at Lower Wonga can both be 'Widgee' when someone rings. The gate number matters. If you are thinking of a studio or somewhere to sleep, read what a container home actually involves before you plan it. Pads on acreage is the setup piece.
Usually. A sidelifter needs about 30 metres beside the truck and firm ground, which most of these properties have. Gate width and a soft track are the things that still stop it.
Close to the work, on high firm ground, doors facing the way you approach, corners on blocks or sleepers. Not in the gully because it looked empty.
If it is the weather-tight grade, raised, with air around the stack, and the bales fit the door. The cheaper as-seen grade is for steel and wire.
For posts, wire and rough steel, yes. It is sold as it stands and not as weather-tight. Feed and tack want the better grade.
A sidelifter can put it where you want. It still needs firm ground on both sides.
