I have 2 containers (both 20 foot insulated) left over from an original 7 that I shifted up here with. (they are temporary, and there's nothing more permanent goes the saying) They are holding a bit of weight, but have sunk a bit. They are sitting on pieces of 8x2 rough sawn pine. (ground treated) It depends on your ground. (No termites here) All the weight is carried at the corners, so to have the container stay stable you need to do a thorough job of setting them up. Make sure when settled in place that the doors open and close nicely. If the container has a twist in it the doors may well give trouble. If I was going to lay concrete, it would be in front of the doors, so that you can get in and out without the big step up or down, so much.
