Shipping containers protect the road from rockfall in Sumner. On the cliffs above, damaged houses teeter on the edge of the cliff. One of the containers has been decorated with an artwork, and another has been spray-painted, "Sumner rocks".

Art on the sides of shipping containers along Main Road in Sumner. The shipping containers have been placed along the road to protect road users from the risk of falling rocks from the cliff above. ContainerArt is a project to beautify shipping containers around the city, turning the negative into a positive.
