10 ft Open Mesh Floor Bunded Storage Container – 300mm Bund, Corten Steel, 12 Vents

A 10 ft open mesh floor bunded storage container – 300mm bund, Corten steel, 12 vents provides compliant, secondary containment for storing hazardous liquids, oils, fuels, and chemicals with a unique raised mesh floor that allows spills to drain directly into the bund below for easy hose-out cleaning. For example, this unit is perfect for storing IBCs, drums, or chemical containers where spills are likely during dispensing, as the mesh floor eliminates absorbent surfaces and simplifies decontamination. However, unlike standard checkerplate bunded floors that trap spills on the surface, this open mesh design allows liquids to pass through into the bund below. As a result, you receive a fully compliant hazardous liquid storage solution that can be quickly hosed out after a spill, meeting COSHH and EPA requirements. Learn about oil storage regulations from official HSE guidelines.

Why Choose an Open Mesh Floor Bunded Container?

Standard solid-floor bunded containers require manual mopping after spills. In contrast, this open mesh floor features a raised 5mm galvanised steel mesh panel (with one removable section) that allows spills to drain directly into the 300mm deep bund below. Consequently, the 10ft length accommodates two IBCs side by side or up to 8 x 205L drums. Moreover, the Corten steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance without requiring painting. Thus, you gain both easy spill management and regulatory compliance. See bunded storage ideas on Pinterest for layout inspiration.

Key Features of This Open Mesh Floor Bunded Container

The open mesh floor and 300mm raised bund are the defining features of this unit. For instance, the mesh is constructed from 5mm galvanised steel (16 gauge) with a removable section for bund access and cleaning. Similarly, the 300mm bund depth provides a containment volume of approximately 1,100 litres – sufficient for 110% of a standard IBC (1,000L) plus 10% as required by regulations. Furthermore, the 12 vents promote continuous cross-flow ventilation, reducing condensation and fume buildup. Finally, the double doors with factory-fitted lockbox provide secure, tamper-resistant access. Check UK hazardous storage regulations before ordering.

Open Mesh Floor – The “Hose-Out” Advantage

Solid floors trap spills and require absorbent materials for cleanup. In contrast, this open mesh floor is specifically designed for “hose-out” cleaning. For example, the mesh panels allow spilled chemicals to pass through into the bund below. Likewise, the removable mesh section allows easy access to the bund for inspection and cleaning. If you are storing chemicals that are frequently decanted, this design significantly reduces cleanup time and eliminates absorbent waste. Chemical spills can be simply hosed down, with liquids draining to the bund for proper disposal.

Bund Capacity and Compliance

This unit is designed to meet UK oil storage and COSHH regulations. First, the 300mm raised bund creates a containment volume of approximately 1,100 litres – exceeding the 110% requirement for a single IBC. Second, the fully welded steel sub-floor construction eliminates weak points where leaks could escape. Third, the raised design allows visual inspection of the bund area through the mesh. Finally, the 12 vents ensure adequate air exchange for stored materials. Browse our bunded storage catalog for matching accessories.

Corten Steel Durability with 12 Vents

Outdoor chemical storage demands weather-resistant materials and proper ventilation. First, this container is manufactured from Corten steel (grade S355J2W) that resists atmospheric corrosion in harsh environments. Second, the 2.5mm wall thickness provides structural strength for stacking and heavy loads. Third, the 12 passive vents (triple-screened to prevent insect ingress) create continuous cross-flow ventilation, exhausting stale air and drawing in fresh air. Finally, the self-weathering patina means no painting or ongoing maintenance is required.

What’s Included

First, every unit includes the 10ft x 8ft Corten steel container with 300mm raised bund. Second, the open mesh floor (5mm galvanised steel) is fully welded with one removable panel. Third, 12 ventilation vents are factory-fitted (triple-screened). Finally, lockable double doors with two locking bars, factory-fitted lockbox, and 2 x forklift pockets at the front are included.

For instance, add a high-security padlock for enhanced security. Likewise, internal drum racks or shelving can be installed. Contact our bunded storage team for custom configurations.
