Savannah is Georgia's oldest city, founded in 1733, the seat of Chatham County, and the home of the busiest single container terminal in North America Deliveries reach Chatham, Effingham, Bryan, Liberty, Bulloch counties, and the practical questions change from one part of the area to the next. the Landmark Historic District, the Victorian District, Thomas Square Streetcar District, the Starland District, Ardsley Park, Chatham Crescent, Baldwin Park, Midtown, Southside, Georgetown, Isle of Hope, Sandfly, Windsor Forest, Cuyler-Brownville, Gordonston, Coffee Bluff each bring their own access, placement, and ground-preparation considerations.
The City of Savannah and unincorporated Chatham County both have their zoning administered by the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission, and Savannah's current code, adopted in 2019 and known locally as NewZO, treats a shipping container differently from an ordinary shed, so a residential placement needs a determination for your specific parcel rather than an assumption.
We have delivered containers throughout Chatham County and the Georgia coast and we know the local ground: Piedmont red clay, which runs from the Tennessee line down to the Fall Line at Columbus, Macon and Augusta. Georgia's kaolinitic red clay is less aggressively expansive than the smectite clays further west, but it holds water, drains slowly, softens when saturated and compacts under load. That matters more for a container than for a house, because a container puts essentially its entire weight through four corner castings rather than spreading it along a continuous footing. Four point loads on clay that has softened after a week of rain is how a box ends up out of level, with doors that no longer close and a roof that ponds water., along with the access and clearance realities of the streets here. Tell us your address and your situation, and you get an honest assessment and an accurate delivery quote.
Garden City Terminal is the busiest single container terminal in North America, and the trucking, transloading and warehousing that feeds it runs on tight space. Owned containers give a drayage or transload operation ground storage it controls, without per diem on the steamship line's box.
The manufacturing corridor around Savannah, from Gulfstream and JCB to the Hyundai Metaplant supplier network in Bryan County, runs lean on floor space. Containers hold tooling, packaging, spare parts and staged materials at the plant fence line rather than in rented warehouse space across the county.
Living on the coast means planning around hurricane season, and a steel container is a straightforward way to do it. Wind and Water Tight and Cargo Worthy boxes keep records, equipment, generators and irreplaceable belongings dry and locked in one place you can get to quickly.
Restoration crews working in the Landmark Historic District and the Victorian District have almost nowhere to stage materials. A container placed on the lane or in the rear yard, where the rules allow it, keeps salvaged millwork, heart pine and new material out of the weather and out of the square.
On Wilmington, Whitemarsh, Skidaway and Tybee, homeowners and marinas use containers for boat gear, outboards, crab traps, kayaks and yard equipment. Steel and a good lock handle salt air far better than a wood shed does.
Effingham, Bryan and Bulloch counties are working agricultural land. Containers hold feed, seed, chemicals, irrigation parts, chainsaws and implements dry and rodent-resistant, out at the field rather than back at the house.
