6.9 Alternative storage options when warehousing is unavailable

For small volumes, containers 6 or 12 meters long can be used as alternative storage facilities.
Containers offer a strong and waterproof structure. They are easy to secure and to transport. On the negative side, they can have poor ventilation, which leads to high temperatures and humidity. A weightless roof above the container reduces the temperature due to sunlight.

The Rubb hall is a large tent designed for storage.
The weakness of the Rubb hall is security. Efficient drainage around the tent is needed for rainwater.
To avoid mud, you must use gravel or light concrete on the access roads and surroundings. When possible, place the tent on a dry, flat surface on high ground to avoid flooding.

For a brief period, and if no better solution is found, emergency storage can be used. The minimum material required is plastic sheeting and wood.
Prepare a flat surface with drainage for rainwater.
If available, spread gravel on the surface. Lay the plastic sheeting on the flattened ground.
Set the wooden pallets on the plastic sheeting and pile up items on the pallets.
Cover with a top plastic sheet to protect items from sunlight and rain.
Remove top plastic sheeting regularly for ventilation.

This solution is only acceptable for a short period, such as one-shot distribution.
