The actual container lifecycle
From order to stock availability: three weeks of production, two to four weeks of sea transit, followed by customs clearance. An order placed in June cannot be put into service before the end of July, at best.
Periods of high demand
Two annual peaks: the resumption of construction work in February–March and pre-summer preparations in May. During these windows, 18 mm and 21 mm thicknesses sell out first, and lead times double.

Calculating turnover
A 350 g/m² panel lasts for 30 to 40 uses, provided the edges are protected after every stripping. On a per-use basis, a high-quality panel works out cheaper than a budget option—provided site discipline is maintained.
