The Australian colorbond external finish offered by Ryebucks Portables is not just aesthetically pleasing but also highly durable. It would be hard to find a single rural property that didn’t have Colorbond steel keeping the weather from the home or machinery shed. Whether it's a scorching sun, heavy rain, or chilling winters, the colorbond finish ensures your portable unit remains resilient and visually appealing for many years to come.

2. Sturdy Steel Chassis

The foundation of any portable unit is crucial, and Ryebucks Portables understands this well. Their units boast a robust steel chassis that provides unparalleled strength and stability. This structural integrity ensures that the portable unit can withstand the challenges of rural terrains, including uneven surfaces and rough handling during transportation. All of our units can be craned into position by simply using straps with an overhead spreader bar. With a Ryebucks Portable you can have peace of mind knowing that your unit is built to last.

3. Vermin-Proof Design

Rural environments periodically come with the challenge of dealing with damaging rodents and insects. Anyone who has endured a mouse plague will attest to that! Having had to deal with several such plagues ourselves we understand this and have taken this into account and crafted our units with a vermin-proof design. From the flooring to the walls and roof, every aspect is engineered to keep unwanted guests out, ensuring a hassle free, clean, and safe living space.

4. Fully Insulated for Year-Round Comfort

Extreme temperature variations are part of a rural environment. Ryebucks Portables understands the importance of a comfortable living space, regardless of the weather outside.

Tips for Selecting the Right Unit Size and Layout

Choosing the perfect portable size and configuration is a significant decision that depends on your specific needs. Here are some essential tips to guide you through the selection process.

1. Assess Your Site

Begin by evaluating your site. What room do you have allowing for truck access? The truck needs to get out again with the unit now in place. What is the topography? Do you need to cut and fill a site or use elevated foundations? Where are the services? Water/Electrical? Where are the wastes going to go? With these in mind Ryebucks will provide a floor plan that specifically reflects the constraints of your site, this keeps site costs to a minimum.

2. Optimize Space

Keeping passage ways to a minimum will allow for more useable space. Its best to keep your walk areas short and direct which will mean more room for furniture and fixtures and negate the need to walk around obstacles to access bedrooms/bathrooms etc. A simple example is to make sure the sliding door entrance is aligned with a common walk-space. Also keeping bedrooms compact will allow for larger living areas creating a sense of openness within the portable unit. For example; kid’s rooms can be kept very compact with bunkbeds, fold down beds may also be an option.

3. Modular Design

Our portables can be supplied Modular. Flexible, comfortable, and affordable. We can supply two (or more) portables that join to form huge living areas or as many bedrooms as needed. Large joined to medium, large to large the choice is yours. Flexible; if circumstances change you can too! Upsize or downsize by simply changing out (or removing) one of the pods. Multiuse; for example, one module for multiple bedrooms while kitchen and living in another. The options are limitless.

4. Power Water and Wastes.

Portability is a key function. Most of our units are specified with a caravan style (extension cord) electrical connection. If larger power demands are going to prevail the unit will need to be hard wired by an electrician. We offer an off-grid package as an alternative.

Fresh water connection is by garden hose. It couldn’t be simpler.

Disposal of wastes will depend entirely on your site. If no sewerage is available you may need to consider the installation of a septic system or an approved emptiable tank. We also offer a cassette toilet and can install a composting toilet of your choice.

This extends to such important details as the size and configuration of both the bathroom and the kitchen. For example; a larger glass fronted showers, more expansive kitchens, or a full-sized laundry.
