Good to go

Drains well and holds the container. Make sure the spot is reasonably level so the doors open and close smoothly.

Wind & Water Tight (WWT): best for dry storage on farms, job sites and homes at the lowest price

Keeps wind and water out, but is not certified for shipping cargo. Expect dents, rust and faded paint.

These are planning figures for tilt-bed delivery. Every site and truck is different, so the driver or dispatcher confirms the exact requirements when delivery is booked. A 20' usually comes on a rollback, but when one is not available it may arrive on a 40' or longer trailer, so leave room for the longer run if you can. Tight site? Ask about other options, such as a flatbed drop when you have a forklift on site.
