    Got a couple PODS coming our way soon. We've got a driveway surface that's wide enough (just about 1' wider than 12'), but very tall holly tree/shrub branches are definitely pushing into the way. Would we need to cut these back, or would it be ok if there's a bit of rubbing and scrubbing of branches against the truck/container?

    • @pods
      @pods  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi, Ronnje! To accommodate our truck and PODZILLA, please ensure there's a total clearance area of 12 feet wide, 15 feet high, and 40 feet long prior to delivery. If there’s anything in the way or any other obstructions, our driver will use their discretion to determine where the unit can be safely placed.

    • @pods
      @pods  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Peter! In order to maneuver your container into place, PODZILLA and our truck will need a total clearance area of 12 feet wide, 15 feet high, and 40 feet long. This is roughly a little bit longer than two standard parking spaces. If your driveway isn’t 40 feet long, no problem. The maneuvering area can include the street as well. Please keep in mind that placement is always at the driver’s discretion.

    Has anyone seen bedbugs, silverfish, cockroaches, or rats at a pods storage facility?

    • @pods
      @pods  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      What an interesting question, Liz! Similar to a home, garage, or outdoor shed, insects may find a way into the container. However, the only access point into the container would be through the front opening (when the door is raised). Our containers sit several inches above the ground, and the door is designed with a rubber seal. We suggest keeping the door closed and not packing and loading items that may attract insects. Our Storage Centers also have preventive pest control maintenance. We hope this helps!

      Hi, Bill! PODS will inform you of any regulation that we are aware of during the booking process. Many customers call their local community for information about any restrictions that might exist just to be on the safe side. Since PODS containers are very commonly used throughout the country, the majority of our customers don't have to worry about community imposed limitations.

      Hi, Virtus! When you park your car on the incline with your vehicle's nose facing uphill, and you open your car door all the way, does it stay open?
