The EW horizons are blocked by trees but I need to wait until I move (end of August) before I work out the relative horizon altitudes. My current thinking however is that I'll take your advise.

Got it figured out for you Matt. It's bloody obvious !!
Just face the big end doors of the container ... South !! Open them wide and enjoy the view, right down to grass level.
If you put in a false floor you just need to build some stairs up and over the platform to the very secure warm room at the north end.
Stairs could be mounted onto one door and swing out from under the false floor to be available. 600 mm is only 2 or 3 treads.
It would also btw minimise your north facing wall to reduce solar heating a bit.
And I think the half roof on rails (Mikes idea) makes good sense as well. False floor should also get you above the north roof view restriction.
Are you going to run the pier down into the ground through a hole in the floor or have you another idea ?
I am beginning to think of re-orientating my shed ob for similar reasons, that lower southerly view. And I may not have to cut down my old orange tree which fruits so well.
