Fifteen minutes east and a different environment entirely. Steel does well out here compared with a light tin shed, but only if you accept that salt air is working on it from day one.
Around Bargara it's mostly boat and dive gear, holiday-let linen and furniture, and building materials on the newer estates running out towards Innes Park and Mon Repos. Whatever the job, the process doesn't change: one call, one delivered price with the freight in it, and the right truck matched to your access.

Guide pricing only, ex GST — what you pay delivered depends on where you are and what's in the yard that week. Ring 07 4152 3388 and we'll give you a real number, not a range. Freight to Bargara is quoted with the container, so the number you're given is the number you pay.
New estates are generally straightforward — level pads, wide verges, no overhead grief. The older beachfront blocks are tighter and often sandy, and soft sand under a tilt-tray is its own kind of problem. Face the doors away from the south-easter if you have the choice, keep the unit off the ground properly, and touch up any scratch that starts browning rather than leaving it. Out here that's not fussiness, it's the difference between ten years and twenty.
The general rule everywhere: firm level ground, roughly 20m of straight run for a tilt-tray or 30m of working room for a sidelifter, and nothing overhead. If you're not sure, send a photo of the approach — it settles the question in seconds. There's a full rundown in what we need to get a container onto your block.
