The colour in detail
Look & origin
Green can suit a garden or agricultural site. Check the shade on a sample and the local requirements for the project.
Upkeep & durability
Durability depends on the coating system, surface preparation and exposure. A RAL code identifies a colour; ask for the technical data sheet and maintenance advice.
Uses & planning rules
Green can suit storage, work spaces and conversions when it matches the surroundings. Check local appearance requirements before placing a visible container.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a green reefer container instead of white in a wine cellar?+
Colour alone does not grant planning permission. Local rules may cover location, use, dimensions, duration, appearance and protected sites. Ask the local planning authority about your project before ordering, and provide a colour sample and site images if requested.
How much does a green reefer container wine cellar cost turnkey?+
40' RAL 6005 matte + reinforced insulation 120 mm + cave climate control (+12 °C/70% HR) + glass door + cork floor: £16,065 – £39,375. Storage for 4 000-6 000 bottles. Mobile solution with perfect landscape integration for English wine country estates (Sussex, Kent).
Does RAL 6018 lose its cooling function?+
No, refrigeration function unchanged. The Carrier/Thermo King unit operates identically regardless of exterior colour. Price and resale value depend on condition, equipment, maintenance and the market. Compare itemised quotations without assuming fixed savings or depreciation.
Reefer green validated for PDO cheese?+
Food suitability depends on the previous use, suitable cleanable materials, cleaning procedures and temperature control. Exterior colour and a RAL code do not certify HACCP compliance. Check the intended activity with the relevant authority.
Why is green often required by the council?+
Colour alone does not grant planning permission. Local rules may cover location, use, dimensions, duration, appearance and protected sites. Ask the local planning authority about your project before ordering, and provide a colour sample and site images if requested.
Do I need permission for a green container in my garden?+
